The expression "geeses are back''
is heard quite often now a-days.
Oscar Williamson says he is soon
going to leave for Dakota to see how
big-farming is being done.
The S. L. S. met last Wednesday
evening and decided to meet again.
Some Fahlun people were there.
Miss Gertie Carlson of Fahlun hon.
ored ns with pleasant call and jol-
ly chat last Tuesday. Call again,
Gertie.
Rev. J. Forsberg of Delano con-
Quoted religious services in the Bap.
fist church Thursday evening and in
the schoolhOuse in district 68 Friday
afternoon.
Erick Moline was in Willmar Fri
day and purchased a new seed drill.
Erick is one of our young and ambi-
tious farmers who knows how to make
farming pay in any kind of weather.
Mrs. Nels Stromberg has returned
to her home in Milaca, after a short
| visit with her mother, Mrs. August
Carlson, who has been very sick, but
who is now on safe road to recOv-
cry.
| Our merchants, Nelson Bros, are
daily receiving new spring goods, and
they are the finest you can wish to see.
The boys know it pays to keep good
stock. They are doing a rushing bus
mess.
Farmers are looking for spring, but
it doesn't seem to do any good. Mr..
Winter has been enjoying himself so
immensely during his stay with US
that it seems as if he intended to pro-
long his stay without being requested
to do so.
John Lindblad and daughter Irene,
of Kandiyohi, visited relatives in this
locality Sunday. Mr.. Lindblad leaves
for Bowbells, N. D., today to attend
to some important business matters
regarding the estate of the late Charles
Rydelius.
Martin Swenson left for Bowbells,
| N. D., last Wednesday with a large
number of horses which he recently
offer the horses for sale to the highest
bidder at said place. We wish you
heaps of success in your speculations,
Martin.
! One Of the most successful social
functions in this neighborhood for a
long time was the party given by John
Larson and Ole Olson, at Richard
Soderberg's, last Saturday evening.
A very large crowd was in attend ance
and verybody reports an exception.
ally enjoyable time until the following
day.
The band boys met for practice the
first time Wednesday evening. The
band consists of seven old players
and four new beginners. Everyone is
taking great interest in same and its
future seems very bright. They viii
hereafter meet every Wednesday even
. ing for practice. w. A Skoglund has
been elected leader. Though young
in years, Walter is an excellent must
clan.
M. Swenson marketed q big load O
hogs in Willmar Monday. We believe
this locality has supplied the mea
trust with more pork this winter thar
any other locality in the county. Som,
of our farmers believe that by raising
hogs you will ''go in the box" Will,
others believe If the hogs are properly
fed and taken care of they will roo
you out of the box. We believe wha
care the hogs are given, such will b.
the results.
Poe accuses Dick of reading between
the lines. Pshaw, Poe! Don't judge
others by yourself. He also says b.
is satisfied with his own field. That il
indeed very nice and pleasing to hear
We hope he will prove it by stayinf
there, and not do like he did last week
when, besides the comments about him
self and the two-story structure he de
voted to criticise Dick, two-6fths o
his items were exact duplicates of ours
and One.tifth reproductions from oul
former reports. We admit that W,
gathered some items in your territor!
while you were mapping, but not on
since. Remember, Whitefeld is no
Svea. But if Poe keeps on telling
everything he hears that takes plac
here Dick will reciprocate and shov
" that he also knows some Of the Fahlul
happenings. That's ell. DICK,
