M. G. Gill was unable to attend
the j B. Doak funeral Tuesday al
though he had received notice from
his Masonic brethren. The old gen.
tleman being quite feeble at this
time.
Under the new time card Jack
Lemon punched 100 tickets on the
run of Nos S41 and 342, which goes
to show the new service is much
more popular with the travelling
public than the card we have had for
the past months.
There was merry gathering out
at the Jes Nissen home Sunday night
the occasion being the birthday of
their son Fred. A large number of
people were present and partook of
an excellent supper after which the
evening was spent in pleasures most
suitable to the guests.

CHRIS n. ANDERSEN.
Mrs. Billie and daughter and Mrs.
Olsen, relatives of J. G. johnson and
wife left last Friday for their home
at Tyler, Mimi, they were accompan-
led by Mrs. Marie johnson, mother
of j. e. johnson and Miss Clara
Frederiksen who will visit there un-
til the spirit moves them to return.
One of the ladies had premonition
that an accident or something to re-
tard their progress en-route would
occur; but nothing OF the kind hap
pened and a letter from there contra
dicted the premonition.
On Thursday evening, May %,
commencing at O'Clock there will be
a meeting of the Danish Lutheran
church people in the church here
which they have purchased, for the
purpose of making arrangements to
procure preacher permanently.
Several ministers from abroad are ex-
pected to be present and take part in
the proceedings. The understanding
here among the brethren is that thenew
minister whoever he may be will di-
vide his time between this church
and Extra and Atlantic where new
churches are being organized. Let
the good work go on.
Saturday nights torrent of rain
flooded the low lands in and around
Hamlin carrying big lot of barn
poles to the railroad bridge north of
the depot, where it nearly all lodged
some of it however was carried out
into the Blue Grass and is now likely
to be found between here and Bray
ton. The waters of the Botna one
mile east of here cut off travel in that
direction Sunday, being out around
the bridge and all over the bottom
lands. Corn planting has been much
retarded but as the weather is so cool
this is not considered a calamity as
corn planted now stands a good
chance to rot.
The change of time on the road
| gave us chance to visit the creamery
Tuesday the first we have made since
last September, but we noticed no
changes except the increased activity
exhibited by the manager Fred
Heileman who had double churning
on his hands, owing to the increased
supply of cream which is now being
delivered, and also in the gradual re-
duction in the delivery of milk, it's
place being taken by the large in
crease in the supply of cream. This
is owing to the number of cream
separators now in use in the country,
there now being eighty mine patrons
who have cream delivered and only
twenty-six who deliver milk. 1.-The
