Some people think literary society
is silly. Now the fact Is that such
people are silly themselves and ought
not to be paid any attention to what
ever.
The basket social given by Miss
Ellen Swenson, in Dist. No. 81. last
Saturday evening is said to have been
grand success, both financially and
otherwise.
Andrew Norstrom will not have an

. The Y. P. S met last Friday even.

full. G. L Englund g was q 'hummer, -
which must undoubtedly be due to the
numerous times it has been called At
tention to in the TRIBUNE.
N. A. Nordahl and family removed
to Willmar the latter part of the week,
where they intend to make their future
home. Mr.. Nordahl was one of our
most successful farmers; but sold his
farm to Nels Bengtson last fall.
J. j. Swenson and family moved to
Willmar last Wednesday, where they
will locate for the future. Mr.. Sven
son was one of, II not our most p o.
porous farmer. He sold his farm to
an Illinois party, who took posses
sion the latter part of the week.
The meeting called for to organize
the band last Wednesday evening did
not mature on account of the stormy
weather. Another meeting is called
for tomorrow evening tuesday, We
hope they will meet with success as we
would all appreciate good band.
The people of this community sin
cere'y sympathize with Mr.. and Mrs.
l.. A. Freeberg of Kenmare, N. D., la
the loss of their youngest child and
son, Albin, who we learn passed away
last Friday. Said family resided in
this locality for long time, but dur
ing the homestead craze they left for
Dakota, where we learn they have been
fortunate.
BY the numerous auctions now-a-
days, 1t makes a person believe that
people are getting tired of the most
pleasant and healthful occupation
IA, ming. If so we believe they are
getting tired of what they ought to
admire, as the farm is certainly the
best thing in the long run. The aver
age farmer Is not fitted for anything
but manual labor, and If he goes to
the city in the belief OF getting it easi.
er along that line, he will be greatly
mistaken. Young man, you that have
q farm, think twice before you leave it.
Poe says he knows Dick, but his
writings do not indicate that. he
seems to think Dick is person that
cannot perform q task he has under
taken without the assistance of .
sQualling little insignificant "pop''
like him. Ia! Ha! You are badly
mistaken, Bro. Poe. Now Poe, if you
desire to again represent Svea, just
say so and Dick will very willingly
surrender the entire field, as he is not
anxious for reporting. Otherwise stay
where you belong, and give your own
affairs due attention, and not be chas-
ing all over the county making people
believe you are related to the Gasbag
writer's. DICK.
