Hans NJ. Hansen was at discus

there some few days. His sister
Stina who had been visiting him at
Elkhorn returned to her home near
Fiscus, that day.
Saturday was the 10th anniversary
in the life of Miss Clara James. The
Journal congratulates Miss James
and trusts that every birthday will
be the happiest day of her life and
the days between her birthdays,
happier still.
Friday was Chris NIoller's birth
day and we were disappointed. We
expected an invitation from him but
as we didn't get il, we had to stay
at home with Old Tige, the family

Mr.. Knud Hansen, of Harlan, and
Mr.. BOIL, of Nebraska, were visiting
at Elk Horn, Tuesday. They looked
over the Olsen Knitting Company's
factory and also visited friends here
On their way home, they stopped
at the home of Mr.. Hans Petersen,
west of town, whose wife is sister
Of Mr.. Hansen, for visit. Mr..
BOIL is former business man of
| Harlan and is here from Nebraska,
visiting old Shelby county friends.
Mrs. Wilhelm Wiges was forty
seven years of age, Tuesday, and
party was given in her honor. A
large number of friends were present
to partake of the good time. 1t
might be we'll to state that when MIR.
and Mrs. Wiges invite friends in,
they do so with the purpose of keep
ing them happy from start to finish,
and that they overdid themselves
Tuesday. 1t is not often one enjoys
himself more than the guests did,
all of whom report it grand affair.
Tuesday was great day for birth
days. 1t marked milestone in the
lite of Miss Ruth Hansen, daughter
of Rasmus Hansen, south of town.
She was II years old that day. 1t
was also the 57th birthday Of Mrs.
L. M. Jensen. A number of visitors
called and helped her observe the day
in pleasant manner. The same day
Mrs. DR.. Soc passed another anniver-
sary day in her life. We want right
here, to congratulate these people, all
of whom are members OF the Jour-
naPs large and growing family, and
hope they may have thousand more
such happy days.
The little three year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. j. p. Jensen, who live four
miles south west of Elk Horn, died
Sunday morning at $50 o'clock. The
little fellow was taken with scarlet
fever, some time ago, then his lungs
became affected and gradually disease
enveloped every part of his body I'M
til the little constitution became too
frail too throw it off. The death was
q particularly sad one as it was the
only child and the parents had CEN
tered SO many fond hopes upon it.
The little body was laid to rest in
the Elk Horn cemetery, Wednesday,
after services by Rev. Jersild. The
s'ddened parents have the sympathies
of the Journal.
DR.. Peter James, Of Hutchinson,
| Minnesota, was operated on at I'm
manuel Hospital, in Omaha, last
! Monday for appendicitis. The doc
tor is son of George James, of this
place, and a brother OF our popular
merchant, Joe James. He is we'll
| known here and has host of friends,
all of whom have been watching and
waiting, almost breathlesslv, with
almost breathless interest, for re.
ports of his condition. Joe went to
Omaha Sunday to be at his bedside
and Tuesday, phoned that Peter was
recovering nicely from the operation.
When Joe returns, his father will go
to Omaha to remain few days with
Peter and help him while away the
hours which seem 80 long to one com.
| PEELED to remain so quiet. We are
sorely grieved of DR.. James misfor-
tune and only trust he may soon be
restored, and become vigorous, ro-
bust man again.
