The new imitation pipe organ, recent
ly installed in the NJ. f. church is Civ
ing the highest degree Of satisfaction to
the members and congregation, harmon
izing as it does so admirably, under the
| skillful manipulation OF Miss Mae Willis,
with the voices of the choir, the merits
of which are 30 well known as to need
no need of praise from us.

Mrs. Charles Reder recently purchased
Of Chris. Henriksen the vacant lot on
Custer Avenue adjoining the grocery
store Of NJ. j. Bailey Co. on the west,
and also the building owned by Henrik
sen adjoining his livery barn, which will
be removed to the lot above referred to,
and occupied by Mrs. Cornelius Reder,
where the business in which she is 10Y
engaged, one door east of J. Z, Pitchers
drug store, will be continued.
The local NJ. B. A. lodge with the help
Of Managers Stegner and Hines is plan
ming on adopting a class of 100 new
members on February 18th. This will
give Custer M. b. A. the banner as no
lodge in the state has yet adopted such q
large class at m meeting. Custer is the
best town in South Dakota anyway and
the NJ. B. A. managers are workers. On
account ola bad train wreck the goat
will not be here on time 80 all who join
on the 18th are in luck.
Last Tuesday was ground hog day, and
the day Of the year when tradition says
if the ground hog appears from his win
ter quarters-which he is always sup.
posed to do, and car see his shadow-he
forthwith again takes to his alternating
quarters and there remains for another
six weeks. In other words, if this day
be warm and clear it is evidence positive
that we will enjoy six more weeks of cold
weather. If the little animal came out
of his hole he saw his shadow-at least
part of the day.

church will keep open house at the par
