The news is waited back from CAL
ifornia that Oliver Smith has become
SO infatuated with that country that
he was induced to part with S21o0
for property there where they have
nothing but earthquakes to trouble
them.
| Neal Jensen has come out as a full
fledged agent for the American Separ-
ator Creamery Company and is meet
ing with good success. He sold one
Tuesday and from cursory examin-
alton we think it will do all it is rec
commended to do.

Rev. V. S. Jensen and Miss Simen-
sen of the Oak Hill neighborhood
were guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Hans
Marquensen of Troublesome, one day
last week. 1t is strongly insinuated
that the Reverend gentleman has
taken strong aversion to bachelor
life and that in the near future all this
will be changed.
Christen Moldt retired farmer from
Als-in-Sleswig arrived in Brayton
last Saturday, he came here to visit
Mrs. Niels Brown, now living near
Atlantic and another sister near Har.
Ian he is an acquaintance and friend
of Hans Fredericksen also retired
farmer who is here visiting his son
Geo. Fredericksen the hardware man
both gentlemen are going back home
some time this summer.
4 Eric Albertsen OF Los Banos, Calf,
writes to his brother west of this
town, that although his health has
not been any better since he went
west yet he will remain and has pur-
chased "a acre dairy farm for the
modest sum of $4,000, not with the
intention of running dairy himself
at present but that he may have a
place he can call home. 1t is hoped
the gentleman may speedily recover
his broken health in that salubrious
climate.
Some constituencies prevaricator
seems to have spread the word broad
cast over the surrounding country
that Brayton and Oakfield are infest-
ed with the smallpox, when the
truth is, there is not case nearer
either town than the Gingery resi-
dence north of the latter town nor
/ has there been. The Bintner school
a few miles east of town was closed
on account of exposures by coming in
contact with the family bringing it
there, but those exposed are all under
quarantine where they will remain
until the dread malady is stamped
out.
The special meeting under the
leadership of our pastor assisted by
P. g. Nelson of Cedar Falls, closed
Sunday evening, Jan. II. The
interest from the beginning was very
good, the congregations were large.
The entire church membership has
been strengthened and quickened and
lead to firm trust in Christ, and
more complete conservation to the
Masters work. About forty i've
protested to accept the Lord Jesus
Christ as their savior. There have
been thirty additions to the church
and more are expected. Thirteen
baptised, three by experience, two
restored, twelve await baptism. We
are very thankful to God for all he
has done for our church and COM
munity. We are still reaching out
for the lost and hayward. Brother
Nelson, the evangelist, is splendid
and fearless speaker and presents the
truth in a way that appeals to the
hearts Of the people. Chas. Sloan,
Pastor; F. Nelson, Church Clerk.
