AL VOORHEES, and Edwin Delahoyde
of Extra were down Monday, the
former looking over his furniture
stock and the latter checking up at
| the bank.
| Dan Reynolds, of Atlantic, was
up last Monday looking after his
building. He makes these occasional
visits and each time finds some van
dalism to repair.
If you ARE thinking of having q
sale this fall or winter phone it to
the Journal or bring it yourself for
first class work and the best circula-
ton to reach the people.
T. j. McGovern has some carpen-
tiers up from Atlantic this week doing
some repairing and fixing up about
his home. Tic is ever fixing up and
keeping most comfortable home.
A daughter of N. j. Nielsen arrived
last Monday from California where
midst milder climate she makes her
home. She will remain some time
visiting at her parental home and
with her many friends.
John Jenkins now has his new
home completed and ready for occu-
pancy. 1t is model in every respect.
The painters have finished their work
and soon they will be comfortably
located and in their home.
Owen Ide shipped a car of cattle
from his yards Monday to the Omaha
markets. Owen is one of the best all
round feeders and cattle men in his
community and generally has some
thing pretty good to ship or sell.
There was big platform dance
last Saturday night at the John Lar
sen home. A number of the people
of that community have procured a
big new tent 32x4O feet and are in
tending to have some good times this
/ fall.
MIR. Goken from over by Anita was
over last Sunday to see if he could To-
cate good rent farm, and visiting
friends. Farms in this section for
rent are scarce as the ground is so
good most of the owners prefer to re-
side on it.
Marinus Jensen, of Harlan, arrived
Monday and is visiting his many
friends here. Most people believe that
Marinus has a special allurment here
but he strenuously denies this allega-
ton and says it is only the many
friends he wishes to see.
There was a party last Sunday at
the pleasant country home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Larsen and mum Der of
their friends were present to make
the occasion an event that will be

Last Monday as the son of Eli Han

team started to run away and he made
a grab for the lines and was jerked
under the wheels so that the wagon
passed over both legs bruisipg them
up and spraining one of them so that
he will not be able to walk on it tor
some time.
We understand that Professor
Moses Brinkerhotf expects to start
the latter part of this week for Wash
ington State with view of making
it his future home. Moses was raised in
this community and is known by
every one. He has the proud distinc-
ton of doing what few boys do and
that is to fill successfully the position
his father had held before him in the
Oaktield academy. Moses has made
a success of his teaching profession
and if he enters this line out west is
sure to rise above the average teacher
