Thos. Endreson, Of Conkling, was
taken to jamestown Saturday by
Sheriff Gradin. Last summer he

u In. another column Of this issue
will be seen the notice for bids for
the erection OF a village hall. We
have long needed a building Of
this kind and some strenuous ac-
ton on the part of our citizens.
has brought forth good results. It
is expected that the building will
be completed as soon as possible.
It is though best by those hav-
ing the matter in charge to post
pene the meeting Of the Farmers
institute until next June, after the
busy season is over. This is done
in order to give those who live at a
distance to be present. During
the winter months it would be a
hard matter to get the attendance
necessary to make the meeting a
success-hence the change to a
later date.
Read,our Christmas ads in this
issue among whom are Hans Hol-
tan & Sons, Forbes Drug Store,
rWallin & Co., the Corner Store,
the Palace Drug Store, Thompson
Hardware Co., the Come Again
Store, the German Store and w,
A. Persey. In fact all the stores
have on display a large supply Of
goods suitable for the holiday
trade and we would not be sur
.prised but what the real estat e
dealers had a number of bargains
for the holiday customers. You
can procure in Washburn presents
suitable for all-from the largest
steam engine handled by our ma
chinery dealer to the smallest toy
engine which is pulled around with
a string. Washburn is a very busy
place, but our merchants are al
ways glad to see you.
