Fred Griswo]d returned last night
from IL vacation of two weeks or more,
most of the time in Iowa. His sister,
Miss Allie Griswold, returned with
him from Sioux City.
Arthur Mckee has cut and bound
this harvest with his little six foot
binder 1915 acres and used 475 pounds
of Irvine. He will now finish up the
harvest with his header.
Commissioner Stewart put f. f..
Mclaughlin and Will Morris at work
on Main street with the road scraper
Monday, after getting out the ac-
cumulated weeds with a hoe.
They are getting very nice and
heightened down in the town of
Gcddes. The hitching rails and posts
have been removed from Main street
and farmers must hitch their teams
elsewhere.
A new sidewalk has been put down
in front of Smiths lumber yard.
Senator Smith told Joe to do that last
fall, but he was sc busy loading
lumber onto farmers wagons that he
couldn't get to it.
The Brule Telephone company are
under obligations to Mayor L%oevinger
for sending his man, NJ. II. Harter, to
Kimball Saturday night to do some
work for the company-and Mr..
Harter is a very nice and accomodat-
ing young man.
Pat Quirk has installed a bath tub,
steam radiator and hot water heater
and connected them with the city
mains at his barber shop. There are
now four steam heating plants on the
"Bob" side. We want to tell you that
we are cit" over on this side.
Major NJ. II. Rowlcy, pioneer of
Mitchell, died in his seyenticth veal
at his home IN that city Tuesday. His
homestead is a part of the city now.
He came to that section in 1870 and
located for the Milwaukee road all Of
the towns between Canton and Cham
berlaln.
w. f. Gritfen of Emery, whose APP
plication for principals of the public
schools was accepted by the school
board, tluniIed and failed to make
good by signing Il contract. The rea-
son therefor is not known hereabouts.
The board is nov considering other
applications and expect to select a
principal as o as possible.
The first automobile to belong to
kimball arrived for o. r. Matson
Wednesday. 1t is a t%ive-seated second
hand machine, but shows little wear
and looks as though it out to go some
when set in motion. We hope it will
not lead Ole INTO profanity and that
he may have bushel of fun out of it.
j. 70. Wright has disposed of his
draY business, ihorses AID drays to
Wentzy 4 Dewey and the new firm
takes possession Monday. This will
not interfere with Mr.. Wentzy's work
as station agent, as Mr.. Dewey will
have full charge of the business. MI.
Wright has made Il very accommodate
ting drayman and we hope the new
firm will prosper as we'll.
y phone message from Carnival
ley Tuesday afternoon at 4::3O brought
the information that the worst wind,
rain, thunder and lightning storm of
the summer was ripping things IN
that vicinity. The storm could be
seen from here and we caught con
siderable wind and a sprinkle from
the end Of it, but the main storm
either expended itself north or passed
to the east OF this section.
The heavy rains of June and the
following hot and dry days of the past
month has had a tendency to bake
the ground eve in shady places.
Trees that were set out this spring
should be watered and kept we'll
mulched during the remainder of the
summer and fall. For n thing, we
would suggest that Commissioner
Stewart get a string CT hose out and
soak up the trees Mayor Parker set
out and presented to the city.
The luxurant growth of grass this
year is just the thing for the dairy
man and the greatly increased receipts
of the creameries throughout the state
show it plainly. To add to the COW
mans satisfaction is a higher price
for milk and cream than for years. 1t
takes years to build up a herd of good
mich COWS, and any man who once
succeeds in doing so makes a bad mis-
take when he ever disposes Of them.
1t is the history or the west that the
man who sticks to COWS gets to the
front and stays there as long as he
sticks to his cows.
