The band stand was moved last
week to the lots east from Main street.
The Misses Lera State and Kathryn
Denhart drove to Brookings, Wednes-
day.
The act OF improving u little city
is still in progress. Let the good
work go on.
Mrs. Guy Cunningham left Mon
day for points in the east, Philadel-
phia principally.

heter, came home Friday from Brook
ings, returning Sunday.

Mr.. Fuller will ship his threshing
outfit that is here, back to Iowa where
he has work for the engine in grading
county roads.
=. J. Hegeman was up from Brook
ings Tuesday. At n time Tuesday
afternoon our boys thought Z. j. was
a bad man but when matters were
looked into he meant good. Just a
little misunderstanding.
Mrs. Paul Brown OF Doland, ar
rived here Saturday for a visit with
her sister, Mrs. A. H.. Gazeley, and
also her many friends. Mrs. Brown
taught a year in cur public schools
and later was "hello grip for a few
months.
The 2nd ball team of White, went to
Toronto Saturday for a return game
with the kids up there. The score was
I to II in favor Of the Toronto kids.
The White nine came home feeling
that they can skin Toronto when they
come here, so even exchange Is no
robbery.
The committee is working real hard
toward entertainment OF those who are
going to spend the Fourth with US.
They are going to do their utmost to
make this celebration one long to be
remembered, and it has been said that
when White attempts anything 1t Is a
success throughout. So all those
wishing a rousing good time make it
a point to get to White.
The White base ball nine went to
Brookings last Saturday, full OF de-
termination to make a good showing
and they certainly made it. They run
up against the same team that whip
ped them so bad Is to 81 the Monday
before, but our boys done their part
without an error and skinned the
Bookings Red Socks worse than those
boys ever dreamed OF. The score was
in our favor, 10 to l.
As the few items from the White
correspondent were not seen in the
REGISTER last week we will make the
following note of the ball game here
last Monday between Brookings and
White: The game was exciting all
through but the White boys felt that
BrOokings would be too mucn Dr
them and so they were. Our bFs
had a first class excuse though, II
being the first game OF the season ma
they done themselves good neverile-
less. In the first part of the gam 1t
looked as though White was an ven
match for them but the score eded
in Bookings favor, $ to 3.
Last Thursday Decoration Day
passed by with great success. Altbugh
the weather looked threatening here
was a good crowd in town to he) us
observe the day, probably on thi ac-
count that so many did not atten the
exercises. The committee feltwell
paid for the effort put forth to lake
the day a success by the remars oil
credit given our program and theway
it was handled. All taking pat In
the exercises done themselves edit.
