at Extra, returned to their home here
Saturday night.
James Barrick and wife who re-
Gently lived here, made flying visit
thru town this week. 1t seemed like
seeing old friends.
We noticed Misses Grace Swaney
and Jane Settlemire, Will Blakely.
and John Liken boarding the train
for Audubon last Saturday.
Roy Swaney came down from
Manning last Friday to attend the
reception at the Baldwin home, given
in honor of Ed Baldwin and wife.
There is only one person who can
arouse the people like our Teddy
and that is the manufacturer of alarm
clocks. Little Greeley thinks he can
beat 'em both.
The last number of the lecture
course, Brush, the magician, was very
we'll attended last Friday night in
spite of the bad roads. He was very
tricky and gavea dandy good pro-
gram.
A note was brought into the drug
store awhile back, which read: "You
will pleas give the lettle boi five
cents worth Of epcac for to throw up
five months old baby. 1t has vile
stummick."
Three weddings were consummated
this week at which some of our most
highly respected young people were
participants. 1t isn't every week we
can indulge in three charivaris or
have the privilege of sleeping on
three pieces of wedding cake.
Auctioneer Mertz is getting to be
an expert on Judging stock. AT the
Clark Swiger sale week ago he pur-
chased a fine COW paying $40. The
following day he sold the animal for
$75 almost doubling in profit. Don t
this look like he knew the value of
fine stock?
The creamery was sold last Satur-
day at public auction for S647.
George Schroeder, Will Barger, and
T. B. Creveling were the highest
bidders for the dismembered parts.
We understand that Geo. bought the
we'll. We didn't learn what he in
tends to do with it.
The seed corn special is scheduled
for Gray Thursday March 9. Prof.
Holden's lectures are proving very
popular and beneficial, and large
crowds greet him at every station.
Every progressive farmer will take
advantage of the opportunity and
get some pointers from the professor
on successful corn raising.
Messrs. w. Fl. Barger, T,B. Crevel-
ing and l.. Groteluschen bought the
Creamery and contents with few ex-
ceptions, of the Gray Creamery Co.,
last Saturday paying a good price for
| it considering the conditions. These
gentlemen Will at once form stock
company and open the Creamery for
business. We trust that farmers will
patronize it literally.
Wehear with pleasure of the sue
cess of one of our boys as a school
man in the great and growing West.
Wilmer Kester is principal in ward
school in Astoria, Ore. He is a
bright young man and is coming to
the front as an educator. We are
proud of our record along this line
and Wilmer is maintaining it.
A new disease has recently come to
light which has given rise to a con-
siderable amount of discussion. 1t is
a sort of mental hallucination where
in the victim talks, writes, or thinks
continually upon one subject. His
delirium sounds like glass crash and
makes him look like dub. He be-
comes unduly inflated over fancied
excellence and imagines himself to be
the hub toward which everything is
drawn and he loudly and persistent1y
regrets his notoriety(D until he hap
pens to discover that no one knows
he is candidate for unusual atten-
ton, when he becomes suddenly and
hopelessly violent. The disease Is
contagious but only to newspaper
correspondents.
