for her home.
Rev. G. L. A. Christensen of the
Oakfield church, has been helping in
series Of meetings at Correction
Grove for the past two weeks. Much
interest and appreciation is shown in
the neighborhood.
G. N. Christensen, north of Kim
ballton, took his daughter, Hanna, to
Atlantic Monday where she left, ac-
companied by DR.. Mary Heilesen OF
Elkhorn, for Des Moines to receive
treatment in hospital.
R. j. Hansen, Elkhorn's painter
and paper hanger, with his four help
ers began this week to beautify the
large house of BRACE Sorensen east of
Elkhorn. He thought it would take
about four weeks to finish.
Miss Christina Nelson of Wiscon-
sin, is visiting relatives in this
vicinitp. She is cousin OF Hans
johnson of the firm of Peterson &
johnson of Elkhorn. She is much
taken up with this country.
Jas Carlson, southwest of Elkhorn.
purchased the 100 acre farm of his
neighbor, Lars Hansen last week.
Mr.. Hansen has a sale Oct. 9th, after
which he expects to move to Nebras-
ka where his daughter is located.
Jens Paulsen and family, a brother
of Henry Paulsen arrived recently
from Denmark. He expects to stay
around here for about two weeks and
| will then move to more inhabited
place to follow his trade which is
painting.
Fred and Amile Clemmensen, Peter
Jorgensen and Miss Christensen
visited relatives in Dedham Sunday.
Fred and Amile had a speedy ride
for time as their team undertook to
manage their own gait which ended
in some damage 10 the buggy and
much delay.
A special mat for the gymnasium
hall of the Elkhorn college was re-
Gently made by the harnessmaker of
Elkhorn which will be much use in
the exercises. 1t is hoped that much
interest will be developed in this line
as it is essential to have we'll exercis-
ed muscles to have an active mind.
Jens G. Christensen, west of Kim
ballton, took up some stray cattle for
trespassing last week. The township
trustees were called in and assessed
the damage after the owner refused to
settle. We understand that the
amount of S12 was finally paid which
was the assessed value by the trustees.
The Elkhorn College opened last
| Thursday at the appointed time with
an enrolment Of about twenty stud
ents. This opportunity should not
be passed unnoticed by the people of
this vicinity. 1t is a good chance to
educate the boys and girls at reduced
expenses by having in our midst so
good school.
John Leistad and Soren Daugaard
of Elkhorn and officers of the Danish
Mutual Hail Association were in the
vicinity of Extra Friday and Satur-
day adjusting claims against their or
ganization. They report that no.
thing points toward the failure of
the association and think that it will
continue as before.
The Kimballton Lutheran church
site has been located and Mr.. Wattles
of Audubon surveyed for the founda-
ton the first of this week The Sc
lected spot is on the highest point of
the hill Just northwest of the stores,
a remarkable place for such an editice
as its view will be observable fer
miles in any direction.
The best information we could get
this week about the Electric road
surveyors was that they had staked as
far west as to Chris Thompson's place
which is two miles northeast of Shar-
on on their first survey, they then
went back east Of Audubon to stake
the final grade and make such changes
as were found advisable.
Geo. Henriksen and family who
live on the old High Webster place
northwest of Audubon visited Satur-
day night and Sunday with John
Leistad and family west of Elkhorn
and Sunday evening accompanied
Nels G.. Christensen home to visit a
short time with him. They return
ed to their home Monday.
| Soren Smith and wife of Sharon
were visiting a sick friend near Har-
Ian Sunday and Monday afternoon a
telephone message told them that
death had called her to another life
that morning. Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
were told that the funeral services
would be held at l O'clock p. M,
| Wednesday which they expected to
attend.
| Miss Cecilia Esbeck, of Kimballton
gave many of her schoolmates party
on her 18th birthday which was last
Sunday. The little folks presented
her with many presents, showing
their regards for her. After hours of
appropriate pleasure they left for
their homes, glad they were together
on this occasion and wishing for more
