Miss Lille Hendrickson en-
tertained the members of the
Bon Ami" club Saturday
night. Cards and music were
the attractions and lunch was
served, and the girls insist that
they had a most delightful
time. The Misses Pepin will
be the next hostesses to enter
tain the club members.
The ladies aid of the Presby-
terian church slightly departed
from their usual rules on
Thursday and gave each men,
Der the privilege of inviting a
friend to their meeting which
was held at the church parlors.
In spite of the inclemency of
the weather there was a large
attendance and a delightfully."-
social time is reported.
At a special meeting of the
town board held yesterday, the
F. x. A. Perrin big cement
building was ordered torn down
at once. The building was
condemned some time ago by
Architect Ross who came up
from Grand Forks to make the
inspection. The contract price
was something like $1,000 and
Mr.. Perrin not only suffers a
heavy loss but is greatly incon-
venienced by the faulty work.

condemned.
Mrs. Roy Walker, wife of our
Presbyterian minister, was
quarantined yesterday for
small pox. Mrs. Walker was
visiting for couple of weeks
in Minneapolis and no doubt
was exposed to the disease
while there. However, it is a
very light form and her many
friends hope for a speedy re-
covery.

he left for Minneapolis again
and persuaded them to look him
over the second time with the
result that he was accepted,

but like every other village she
has some "knocker." Nothing
under the sun, so we are told,
was created without purpose,
but just what use a village has
for a "knocker" we have yet
to learn. Of course there is
that old saw about every
knock" being boost etc., but
then every boost ought

first citizen as authority. What
is the result? Two citizens try

citizen who got religion at the
late revival and felt it his Chris

other mans wife that he had
seen her husband walking
down the street in the company
of a buxon peroxide blonde the
