CHRIS RASMUSSEN, Kim ballton, la.
T. G. Jensen and Peter Andersen,
of Kimballton, We're visitors Sunday
at the home of Walter Jensen over
at Oak Hill.
The carpenters working on the
church in Kimballton are busy this
week putting up the steeple wherein
the bell may ring out its silver tones
calling all to come and worship.
Lars Lorensen living on the ridge
who was afflicted some time ago with
paralysis, died last week and is laid
away to rest, leaving relatives to
mourn for one they loved, and one
whom all honored and respected.
Last Sunday as Mr.. and Mrs. Loren
Arenkill sat quietly in their home
enjoying the day, crowd of people
suddenly filed in at the gate and re-
minded him that it was his birthday,
and they had come to help him prop
erly rememb Der the same.
Ole Larsen invited lady friend to
take ride with him last week on a
water tank. The outcome was not
as they expected, for the horses be-
came frightened at the water wash
ing in the box and before they could
be stopped both were we'll sprinkled.
Mrs, Paul Peterson east Of Elkhorn
died last week and was buried in the
cemetery at Elkhorn. The deceased
leaves husband and five children to
battle alone in the cold world. She
was big hearted home loving wife
and mother, loved by her neighbors
and friends, who join in sympathy
with the bereaved family and rela-
tives.
Rev. Bodholdt, of Marquette, Wis.
and wresident of the society, Of
which the Kimballton church is a
part, preached there Wednesday to
a large and appreciative audience
He is going his rounds looking after
the welfare of the churches, and we
understand he is we'll pleased with
the membership and spirit of this
church.
Chris T. Chris johnson, son of
Albert Christensen, near ,Kimball-
ton, had narrow escape from
drowning last Sunday. He with
several others were at the pond of
Jesse Tolstrurs near town, hole Is
feet deep, when Chris got beyond
his depth and went down twice be-
fore he was heroically saved by his
companion, Peter Erickson.
| Nels Mortensen, north of Kimball-
ton, threw the hospitable doors of
his place open last Saturday week
and one of the merriest dances of
the season was enjoyed by the young
folks of the community. Nels and

good old school Of entertainers who
have the ability to do things we'll
and this was very joyous time.
There was big barn raising and
dance last Saturday week at Albert
Jorgensens, north of Kimballton.
He had just completed his big barn
and invited his friends and neigh

! dictate it. Albert is one of the big
gest hearted all around jolly fellows
, in the community and a party at his
place is equal to all the fun there is
: going.
