n Miss HOLSTER is back from visit to
the Twin cities and the court house

Any lady that can walk on the pres
ent slippery sidewalks with uprightness
and grace, need not fear putting on the
roller skates for the first time trying.
! Mrs. uackenbush and Miss Richmond
left on Tuesday for their former home in
New York to spend the winter. Every
body wishes them pleasant visit and
safe return.
Miss Violet Keller of Spokane, Wash !,
is visiting with her grandmother, Mrs.
Lapp, OF St. Vincent, and friends in Penn
bina, and her many old school mates are
glad to welcome her back.
A roller rink on top of the other func.
tons will keep the young folks hustling
this winter, and then they will want to
90 to Emerson to take a real skate once
in while. besides.
Mr.. and Mrs.F c. Warner and the
children leave next Friday for Werner,
ILL.,, to spend Christmas at the old no ne.
stead, where there will be family gath
ering with Mr.. Warmers mother. They

The members and congregation of the
M. E. church met at the hospitable res
dence of Judge and Mrs. Kneeshaw for a
FAREWELL to Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Short.
A large company was present and it was
very ENJOYABLE occasion. Mr.. and Mrs.
Short were presented with gift as a
souvenir OF the love and regard of the
church and as recognition of their
earnest labors for the church. At the
Sunday school on the succeeding Sum
day, the teachers and scholars gave MIR.
Short a finely bound hymnal as their
testimonial. All these gifts from church,
school and society will convey soma
idea as to the universal esteem IN which
the departing couple have been re-
garded.
Little Florence Ruddell was the guest
OF honor at a party of eighteen livery
Young ladies', at the home of her cousin,
| Virginia Short. While it was also a
farewell, they all had a splendid time.
The school children Of Miss Florence's
grade also gave her a reception after the
session was over one day last week and
spoke pieces and -}1aa-refreshments and
gave Florence nice book to remember
them by. 1t is reported that Florence
didn't like the idea ofleaving old Pembi-
na,. where she had SO many friends and
Ito go away off and make new ones, f"
| as she said, and we don't blame her,
but hope that she will, however. find
many new ard good ones. But she
mustn't forget the old ones.
AT the pubic installation of the officers
Of the Masonic and Eastern Star lodges

furnished some nice music between
whites. very nice lunch Was served
a Id every one went away satisfied and
harmony prevailing. One of the interest.
ing things OF the evening was the presen-

mountings in gold, to Past Master w.
c. Short, which was given by the lodge
as parting gift of something OF q
metallic nature as a memento OF his con.
nection with the lodge, Of which he mas
been working and efficient member.
The departure of Mr.. and Mrs. w. c
, She TT on Tuesday for Illinois,. where
}; they will remain for visit with Mrs
Shorts mother before departing for thei
. future home in California, leaves vacan
cies in many different circles in the city
Perhaps no other person in town has &C
cupled more prominent places in all tn,
"goings on'' in church, Sunday school
, musical and social circles and in busin&s
or civic progress than has Mr.. Short
He not only had the disposition, but tn,
very marked ability to 'do things" Il
fact in many Of these lines he has a posi-
' tive genius. We don't remember Q
