Center school closed Friday. Those

Little Minnie Unser has been quite
sick the past week, suffering from a
sever throat affection. She is improy-
ing under the ARE of DR.. Anderson.
Messrs. Fred Banks, Clyde Lewis.
Jesse Banks, Roy Mcconnell, Charlie
Munden and Byron Mcconnell recent
ly went to take in the sights at st.
Louis.
On last Friday evening the teach
ers and pupils of Jefferson school had
a box supper and cleared a neat little
sum with which they intend to build
a new walk and make other necessary
improvements.
One day last week while Mr.. and
Mrs. Wren and Mrs. Weaver
were coming from Oskaloosa their
team became frightened at some signs
on the road and upset the buggy,
throwing the ladies in such a way
that each one had her left arm brok-
en-. The team ran away but was cap
tured unhurt.
We recently had the pleasure of in.
specting Mr.. Hills new cave. 1t is a
fine affair, made with cement and
brick, having a 9-inch wall on the top
and strong enough to run an engine
over it. He has built a smoke house
at the entrance of the cave, with a
room on each side of the door Of the
entrance. The floors in these rooms
are made of cement, thus making
them rat proof Mr.. Hill has spent
quite a little sum Of money in erect
ing these improvements, but he now
has something that will be of much
use as we'll as an improvement to his
farm.
We had the pleasure of meeting
with the Herald reporters at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. c. V. Hoffman,.
We had a delightful time, meeting old
friends and getting acquainted with
ether correspondents and their
friends. The sumptuous dinner, the
tables beautifully decorated with au
tumn leaves and flowers, the beautiful
hand-painted name cards by which
each guest found his place, the kind
host and hostess with their little as
sistants, also Mr.. Phil Hoffman, and
Miss Lizzie Hoffman,, the sociability
of everyone present, together with
the lovely day, surely made everyone
think that really life was worth the
living, especially this one day which
will surely be remembered for years
to come by those who were sc fortu.
nate as to be present. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hoffman,, Mr.. Phil Hoffman, and
Miss Hoffman, certainly do treat their
correspondents in a royal manner and
they may be sure that it is very much
appreciated, and we all say, long live
the Herald and it's present proprie-,
tors.
This vicinity was very much shock
ed last Monday to hear that Mrs.
Klootwyk had died at Colfax, where
she had been during the past two
months in hope of restoring her fail
ing health. Mr.. Klootwyk and the
children have been keeping house in
the meantime. Mr.. Klootwyk had
gone up on Saturday with the inten-
ton of renting a house at Colfax pre-
paratory to moving there to sTend the
winter with Mrs. KIootwyk. All ar
rangements and plans were made, but
on Sunday Mrs. Klootwyk told her
husband that she could live no longer
and she passed away at 8 o'clock in
the evening of the same day. Mrs.
Klootwyk was a good woman, liked by
all her acquaintance. She leaves a
husband and sever boys to mourn the
irreparable loss of a loving wife and
devoted mother. The little children
thus early bereft of a mothers care
range from the baby, aged three, 20
the eldest son, aged fourteen. To
these children and their heartbroken
father much sympathy is extended.
They can not call their mother from
the land where she mas gone, but
they can so live that they may meet
their dear mother in the land where
is no sorrow, parting or death.
