Emmett McCollum of Alban
was enjoying visit from a
brother from St. Paul last week.
Mr.. McCollum had not been out
this way for IS years and of
course he noticed a wonderful
change in the face of the country
since his last visit.
j. P. Jacobs, editor of the
Madison (Minn.) Independent
Press, come over last week to
spend Sunday with his son who
is working in the Review office.
Mr.. Jacobs has lived in Lacqui
Parle county for some eighteen
years, but this was his first visit
to Milbank during that time.
w. A. Hirsch, who has been
afflicted so severely with rheu-
matism for several years, start
ed for Tennessee last Monday

warm climate will cure his
disease. He has friends living

will remain with them during
the winter.
When Will Mcpherson return
ed from his trip to Red Cloud,

nesday, January IA, at Red Cloud
to Miss Frances Ratbjen of that
city. The newly married couple

In another column we print the
quarterly statement of the
Far mers Bank of Milbank
The statement shows the ex-
cellent condition of the bank and
the continuous expansion of its
business. The cash on hand
and due from other banks shows
a sum of S58, ,757 .26, and net
surplus and profits of $7,627.60
The fine showing n ade by this
bank indicates that it is keeping
abreast of the procession and en-
joying its share of prosperity.
Tuesday was payday at the
Milbank creamery for the month
of December, and for the second
time during the year 1902, the
patrons received 29c per Id. for
butterfat, which nets tue patrons
$1.18 per hundred for milk of the
average test. Mr.. Ryger, the
buttermaker, thinks the present
good price of butter is due to
the passage of the oleomargarine
law, and says that some of the
patrons who are not patronizing
the creamery during the winter
months are failing to get the
benefit of the most profitable
season of the year.
Last week Messrs. Stone &
Sullivan moved into their new
store in the new telephone block,
and where they are gradually
getting things arranged in the
several departments. We think
it safe to say that there is not a
finer or more completely arrang-

The double store occupies q
