Another Berlin wedding is likely to
come of soon and the Krohn family may
be looked forward to extend it's branches
still further out through this neighbor-
hood. We are not as yet announcing
the date of the event or who is the "frau."
The approach of spring finds the
Berlin church in rather poor condi-
ton for the comfort of the congregation
as well as in general appearance. Late
ly the turnout has been small confined
to the preacher and the fireman. Those
who used to go to church on Sunday
forenoon seem now to be too busy doing
their chores and complain that it is too
late when they are able to get around.
This last week Berlin township had
the distinction of the anniversary ofsa
silver wedding being observed. The
couple who had enjoyed each others
companionship through twenty-6v years
of welded life being Mr.. and Mrs. C.
Schultz. Quite large number of their
neighbors were there to congratulate
them and good time generally is un-
derstood to have been had.

Spring ought to he on its way out here
pretty soon as we have experienced
hard long winter with many storms.
Dan Sundberg and A. Ellefson were
out the other afternoon for rabbit
hnnt. Whether they we're successful or
not may be judged from the fact that
they got one each.
Charles w. Doe, the town clerk of
Moscow, has lately been hauling his oats
home from the Mcdonald farm and is
figuring on having an extra fine sample
of seed for his crop of this year.
Sam Braaten is now hauling out his
hay, which has been laying over the
greater part of the winter. He is max
ing pretty good thing out Of it as hay
fetches good deal better price than it
has been at any time for many years.
Edward Hill has had some great ex-
periences this winter in trapping wolves
and foxes, aad unfortunately has had
the bad luck to catch some of his neigh
bors dogs in the traps. In any case he
can feel that he is doing good work in
killing off the wolves. We hope he will
get moro before spring and that they
won't all be dogs.
Sam Braaten is married and himself
and bride are enjoying their honeymoon
on his farm in this vicinity. They had
a party at their home soon after their
return from Wang, the former home of
Mrs. Braaten, where the ceremony was
performed. 1t was time of enjoyment
for all. We all wish Sam and his bride
a long prosperous and happy life.
Ole Peterson, one of the Wang boys
with large circle of acquaintance in
Berlin, has been spending a few days
out here and is hauling hay to Langdon,
which he says isn't to be accomplished
these days without accident. On one
trip his sleigh tipped over no less than
a dozen times before getting to town.
Too bad Ole, we feel for you but find
that we cannot reach you.
With the near approach of Eastertide
we are now looking for the coming of
spring and with it the singing of tho
birds in the treetops, or the sight of the
wild ducks and geese, which make us
their transitory visit each summer. The
approach of spring is also gladly vel
coined by the hunter, who patiently
awaits through the winter the time for
shooting our feathered friends.
We understand that the people living
on the mountain, which we would in
form those of our readers who are not
posted, is located in the western part of
Berlin township, have some great hunt
ing dogs. The other day when
the boys were out they brought
home a martin, mink, or something
of that kind, which one of
the boys skinned and expects to receive
a high price for, as it's fur is in great
demand at this time.
