Mr.. Gilbert preached two able SER

in the Methodist pulpit in this city.

On Tuesday evening, Feb. 81, the
Baptist Church gave reception at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. B. w. Ut
man for Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson who
have since left for Balsam Lake.
A pleasant evening was spent and
in parting the church presented
them with a rocking chair as a
token of appreciation for the faithful
services rendered by them-Mr.
Anderson having served as both
trustee and treasurer for a number
of years.
Emil Anderson, for number of
years the prompt, honorable and
courteous deliveryman for the mer-
chants of the city, left last Thurs
day for Balsam Lake, Polk county.
Mrs. Anderson and little son
Kenneth followed him Monday.
The family will make their future
home on a farm near Balsam
Lake which Mr.. Anderson bought
last fall. The community regrets
the removal of this estimable fam
lily but wishes them prosperity and
happiness in their new home.
Eggs were unusually high last
fall and for most of the winter. The
reason for this was not apparent
until within the last few weeks.
Cold storage men had bought large
ly last season and were holding for
higher prices this spring. The
warm weather fooled the old hens
into extraordinary exertion and
their efforts knocked the bottom
out of the cold storage graft. Cold
storage eggs are being sold at one
third of the price paid for them last
fall. 1t is said that the storage
men have lost from 100000 to
100000 on eggs.
DR.. E. A. Toby reached the seth
milestone on his earthly pilgrimage
yesterday and the fact was taken
advantage of to call in few friends
to assist in a celebration. These
friends thought a fine easy chair
would carry restful suggestion to
the Doctor as they wished to leave
with him a reminder of the day.
This they presented him with con-
CALCULATIONS for the anniversary
and the expressed wish that he may
live to enjoy many similar occa-
ions. Mrs. Toby had an excellent
supper ready for the guests. After
disposing of this the gentlemen
went to- the Doctors Office where
they spent long evening playing
"old sledge." Many of these boys
had travelled longer journey than
has DR.. Toby for at one table were
four whose respective ages are 70,
"a, "a, and 81. The sum of the ages
of these four men is 288 years and
the average age is r..
