Peter Bertlesen, the Kimballton
blacksmith, and his wife returned on
Sunday from Denmark, where they
had been visiting their old home and
friends for some time.
We met Mr.. Andrew Topp in Kim
ballton, Tuesday, and that gentleman
said he wished we would tell the
public that he was entirely sold out
of male Duroc-Jersey pigs.
1t is announced that Mr.. Hans
Madsen, one of the merchants at
Kimballton, will either sell his stock
of general merchandise in lump or
close it out by January 1, 1906.
Last Sunday was Richard Hansen's
fortieth birthday and large number
of friends gathered at his pretty
country home, north east of Kimbsll-
ton, and helped him to royalty pass
the day.
Many people thought that when
those Norman Elders were through
here that they lett no impressions be-
hind, but later Developments prove
that at least one person seems to be
slightly tainted with their belief.
Larsen s. Brodersen's store in Jack
sonville will be the scene of confusion
September 29, October and 2, when
Mr.. Faaborg of Kimballton will be
there with full array OF cloaks which
he will dispose ofat reasonable prices.
Professor Poss Nelson's lecture on
last Sunday afternoon, at Kimball-
ton, was very much appreciated and
listened to by more people than the
old church building could hold, so
they swarmed in the yard on the out
side.
There is a letter in the postoffice at
Kimballton addressed to Jens Soren-
sen, box twenty-seven; it came from
Augusta Hviid, at Dougaard Station,
Denmark; and unless it is delivered
within two weeks it must be sent to
the dead letter Office.
Rev. B. Johnson, pastor up at the
Bethina church, on account of the
failing health of his wife, has resign
ed; they will soon depart for the old
home in Denmark and the congrega-
ton will meet on Tuesday, Septem-
Der eighteenth for the purpose of
calling new minister to preach for
them.
VIVA. caused the JOYOUS laughter
to ring forth at the Nels j. Boose
home, over east of Elk Horn, last
Sunday evening? Interested parties
Investigated the matter and discover
ed that more than forty young people
in that neighborhood had gathered
for the purpose of giving them what
we will term I" A very pleasant sur
prise" The evening was passed in
playing games and before leaving the
table was spread and all partook of
an abundant supply of ice cream and
cake, which had been prepared by
the friends present. AS the clock
struck the midnight hour they all
babe their friends farewell; and APP
probation and hearty thanks were
extended to those who assisted in
making this one of the most enjoy
able times of the year. Say folkies;
let's meet again for watermelons at
Christmas?" ONE OF THEM
We saw another wrinkle in the old
cows horn while in Elk Horn, Tues
day, in the shape of new tangled
"Jimcrack" with which to drive
single nails. 1t works this way.
Take scoop full of nails, dump them
into the machine, give it gentle
shake and the nails go chasing each
other along down a little valley to
the end of a tube where they stand
point down ready to be driven into
the single. There is little clam
mer'' attached to the machine which
gives the nail good start SO you
can hit it lick with your hammer
and the job is done. They tell NE
that man with one of the machines
can nail as many shingles on in a day
as two men; then, too, no matter
how cold it is you can put on mitteni
and still use the machine. Walter
James, of Elk Horn, is agent for
Iowa and will be pleased to show
you the contrivance if you will give
him call.
Ask any "Japn that you may see,
"Why the Gar with Bear behind''
had to climb tree.
The Yanks, God bless the Yanks,
says he,
They gave us Rocky Mountain
Tea. Nick Doffing.
