weeks threshing to be done here
yet, even if there is fine weather
every day.
2 Mrs. 0. Lindquist, who has been
+ staying at her daughters home in
. Kenmare, N. D., since last spring,
came home last week. She reports
that A. }. Nilsson is building a big
store at new town in that local
ity.
Rev. C. johnson held services at
the meeting house last Sunday fore
noon and evening.
Rev. C. O. Peterson of Long
Lake held his farewell services at
the Roselillian schoolhouse Sunday
. of last week. He intends to move
to another locality.
T. Our storekeeper, Lars, now has
his store filled up with winter
goods. Call at the store and see
his big stock.
On Tuesday of last week the re-
mains of Emil Lindquist were laid
at rest in the Christine cemetery.
He was the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Erlck Lindquist. Emit was taken
sick while working in Duluth some
six months ago. He came home,
but kept getting worse and then
went to hospital in St. Paul,
where he died on Sunday. The
body was taken home on Monday
and buried the next day, as stated.
He leaves father, mother, four
brothers and SIX sisters to mourn
his early death, beside number of
other relatives. He was about
nineteen years old. Rev. Lundberg
of Svea officiated at the funeral.
The bereaved family has the SYM
pathy of us all in their sorrow.
Another funeral occurred at the
Christine chruch last Sunday, when
the young boy Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Aug. Anderson of East Lake Lii
liam was laid at rest in the Chris
tine cemetery. The little boy was
two years and nine months old at
the time OF his death. The cause
of death was summer cholera.
Rev. J. O. Lundberg officiated.
The bereaved family has our sin
cere sympathy.
Just a the threshing machine ar
rived at Ole Blomquist's place the
other day, little girl made her ar
rival, but whether she was of any
assistance in helping care for the
thresher so deponent knoweth not.
Anyway, Ole was wearing 4x6
smile all day so we take it that the
little girl was welcome. We hope
Ole will not forget the customary
"smoke Sticks for such occasions
made and provided.
j.. Farmers are wishing now that
they had seeded barley on all their
l. grounds last spring, as the price is
the highest it has been for IS years.
They say that at that time it
touched the dollar mark. Well,
we can't kick on the prices for any
of our staple products these days.
E. Palmlund, a prominent old
farmer living just over the line in
Renville county, suddenly disap-
peared last week. He had been to
Olivia on Monday and attended an
'auction sale, and about nine o'clock
in the evening started for home.
The horses arrived at home about
midnight, but without their driver.
On Tuesday a big party of men
went hunting for him, and they
kept it up all week, without find
ing any other trace Of him than his
hat, which was lying on the road
one and a half mile this side of
Olivia. The buggy and team were
all right, so there could not have
been runaway. The dashboard
was partly broken, indicating that
he had fallen out over it or been
pulled forcibly out Of the buggy.
Every slough in the vicinity has
been dragged and also ever ditch,
without avail. This is certainly
the greatest mystery that ever was
heard of in these parts. 1t is said
that Palmlund was partly intoxi-
Gated when he left Olivia. 1t is
guessed that he either started out
to walk and got lost, or else was
murdered and hidden somewhere.
We hope he will soon appear alive
and relieve the intense anxiety of
