Mrs. Anna Davis, better known here
by the name of Anna Vrooman, was bur-
led in our cemetery, last Tuesday. Mrs
Davis and her husband lived at Anoka.
She was taken suddenly ill last Satur-
day and died without moments notice.
She was around the house doing her
work as usual when her husband went
to the field near the house to cut corn.
Upon his return he found her in bed
dead. Heart trouble we suppose. Mrs.
Davis was the second daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Myron Vrooman, formerly
residents of this place, and was esteem
ed by all who knew her. The Rebekahs
of Amboy had the funeral in charge, as
sisted by the Rev. Gibb.-Sterling Cen

Attorneys c. n. Andrews and A. r.
Pau Jr., of MankatO were in town We'd
nesday morning. 1t has been intimated
that one or the other of these gentle
men would make the race for county at
torney on the democratic ticket, but
in response to an inquiry from an En-
terprise reporter stated that they would
not enter the contest. This leaves Mr..
Wilson, the republican nominee, with
out opposition.-M apleton Enterprise.
Miss Laura Klein, who is one of the
contestants in the Minneapolis Tribune
contest, was in town, Saturday, solicit
ing subscriptions for the Tribune. Miss
Klein stands second in the list and if
hustling counts will secure first place.

On Saturday last A. J. Ellis, secre-
tary of the Maple River Curling club,
received the annual instalIment of the
Scottish heather from The Weekly
Scotsman, of Edinburgh. The Scotsman
sends out hundreds of these tokens and
if its editor could only be here on Burns
day he could see how his gift is appre-
ciated by the sons and daughters of
Scotland. 1t carries them back to the
land of their birth and revives memories
of other days-Mapleton Enterprise.
1t is not likely that James Nc
Laughlin will make the canvass as an
independent candidate for the legislature.
Under the primary election law it is
necessary for a candidate, to get his
name upon the ticket, to secure the sig
natures of ten per cent of the voters to
petition, and no one can sign the pc
tition who voted at the primaries. This
makes a heroic task and while several
have offered to circulate petitions for
Mr.. McLaughlin's candidacy it neces-
states vast amount of work.-Ma-

The Cream correspondent of The Ma

yer and Henry Thielman were out this
way, last Saturday, in the interest
of the electric line that's coming. They
were forming a stock company and GER
tainly met with success. Everybody is
anxious for something to come this way
and all seem willing to do their part,
