Saturday evening.
DR.. McClees, of Marne, made a
professional call at the P. P. Nielsen
home south west of Elk Horn last
week.
Some were out saluting the
new year with guns Sunday evening.
Henry Carlson, got his hand pretty
badly scorched, while assisting.
Albert Hansen, of Harlan, editor
OF the Harlan American, accompanied
by his wife, spent Xmas at the home
OF his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Jens
Hansen.
Nets Bennedsen received a comic
post card through the mail last week
upon which were the pictures of
twins. Nels thinks it must be mis-
take for he is single yet.
There was gathering at the home
of Ole Madsen's New Years after
noon and evening. There is no doubt
but that every one EMO, ed it hearth
ly. They always do at Ole's.
Mr.. and Mrs. John LANCE were
made doubly happy last Tuesday
morning for on that morning two
little angels came down to bless their
homo. They weigh 81 and pounds
and John says ther're mates too. All
are doing we'll.
Little Miss Esther Boysen secured
the big doll, offered by Druggist
Walter Gregersen, as prize to the
one receiving the most votes in his
Xmas contest. The big doll was a
dandy and Esther will surely spend
many pleasant hours with it.
The infant son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Adolph Petersen died Saturday a
week ago and was buried in the
Betania church cemetery Christmas
day. To the parents who are grieyed
and sorrow stricken by the sad blow
the most sincere sympathies of the
Journal are extended.
j. A. Petersen's Sunday school
class presented him with fine
Christmas gift-a beautiful collar
and necktie box. Johnny wishes to
thank each one individually for the
gift which he prizes very highly, not
alone for the value but also for the
sentiment it represhnts.
Mrs. Lindroth died at her home
in Dayton, Iowa, Tuesday, December
25th. Mrs. Lindroth is the mother
of Harry and Minnie Lindroth, we'll
known to Elk Horn people. She,
also, has had many acquaintances
here, as she formerly kept house for
Christian Juergen, here.
Walter Scotland last week pur.
chased Niels Bonde's farm paying
$75. per acre for it. w. 2. Hoegh
will rent the farm the coming season
and haul milk to the West Hamlin
creamery from that vicinity. We
understand Mr.. Bonde will settle up
his affairs and return to Denmark.
Banker John Petersen was the re-
cipient last week of the following
telegram from his SOP, Peter, who is
a practicing physician in Omaha:
"Philip arrived safely, O'Clock.
Weighs 10 pounds. Both we'll"
Naturally it made him feel pretty
good, and he is going around now
trying to get used to his new name.
Grandpa Petersen.
One of the best fellows on earth is
the man who can take joke. Not
to be able to appreciate a joke is a
trait that anyone should be so hearth
ly ashamed of that they would not
think of making it public. 1t looks
80 little to get mad at GOSH" Did
you ever think of it in that way.
There is always something of this
kind at Christmas time. Don't get
mad over Christmas joke and if you
do get mad don't blame an innocent
party.
A grocery agent was in Elk Horn
last week end gave the most dis
graceful portrayal Of wrecked man
hood Elk Horn has ever had. Since
he has gone they have concluded they
don't want any more agents that dec
crate the hotel and public buildings.
1t is also suggested that all barn
doors be closed against such men, and
if you don't want your hogs spoiled,
don't let such fellows in with
