Talk about the rush at a spring
millinery opening of Easter hats,
but such an occurrence is not a cir
cumstance to the rush for stoves the

Emil Staudenmaier was obliged,
on account of the weather, to post
poue his auction sale at the old Aug
ust Larson farm until Thursday, Oct.

to work in the Illinois Central ma
chine shops and this delay is vexing
to say the least,
Paul Jurgenson has moved his
family from the farm in Spirit Lake
township into the city and is now
occupying the Carl Nelson house on
the east side. Paul will take a rest
from farming for a year or so, but
we do not look for it to be much
longer. There's nothing like a South
Dakota farm for a South Dakota farm

already been homesick for the farm.
Among a number Of real estate
sales during the past week one of
the most important vas the sale of
the 400-acre farm joining town,

who will take possession on March
LIST. This is one of the most desir-
able farms in this vicinity and the
purchaser has secured a nice home.
The sale was make by A. Johnson
Chief.
