behind spirited span OF drivers.
Grandma Egan has moved into the

somewhat Indisposed the latter part
of the week. However, he stayed with
his duties.
One of Robert Armstrong; black
Galloways got stuck in the mud. 1t
failed to survive the severe handling
necessary to extricate it, consequently
Robert sold hide, and the pigs got
some fresh beef.
The beauty of the w. d. Stanley
home down in the BotEa valley has
been made more noticeable by the ad.
dition of pretty front yard fence.
James East one of the oldest and
highly,respected citizens of Audubon
county has left the farm and gone in
to retirement in Atlantic. 1t is n
matter of regret to the people Of Au-
dubon county that he was unable to
find a suitable location within the
borders of his own county. However
we congratulate Atlantic.
The mail carrier on route one from
Hamlin feels very grateful for the
helpful Improvement some of the pat
rons have made in regard to the po-
sition and approach to their boxes.
He is quite pleased to note that they
are thus inclined to keep the route in
order and sincerely hopes that when
the'route is inspected the government
man will discover abundant evidence
that the service is appreciated.
HAMLIN
Pause some balmy summer morn
ing on the summit of Creamery Hill in
front of the Rattenborg residence a
few miles south Of Audubon and re-
Duke. your sordidness that you may
be able to drink in the beauty of your
environs. Beneath you to the west
ward is seen the little village OF
Hamlin nestled in the rich valley Of
the Blue Grass. 1t is humming with
the spirit OF the busy bee that has
found a honey-laden flower. That
large building belching forth volumes
of black smoke at the foot of the hill
is the Blue Grass Creamery, one of
the leading cooperative creameries in
the west. That unique building in the
north part of town is the new cement
block factory near which is seen some
carpenters putting the finishing touch
to Peter Nelson's lodging house, be-
meath which is the barber shop and
pool room. The building facing you
contains the lightning rod factory
and harness shop of Peter Juel, OPP
posite which stands the general store
of Mr.. Johnson. West of this stands
the blacksmith shop in which the sig
nificant song of the anvil is heard all
the livelong day. Across the street
from the new carpenter shop lies the
lumber yard which does an extensive
business. That big building to the
south,in front of which is seen an r..
f. d. mail cart waiting for the mail
is the hardware store, and implement
house of Johnson q Christensen. Here,
as indicated by the presence OF the
mail wagon, is found the post Office.
Then comes Olsen's hotel and feed
barn and Nelson & Bruhn's big ele-
yator, beyond which is the stock
yards where Nelson & Bruhn handle
thousands of head of hogs and cattle
every year. AS you turn away you
cannot but conclude that Hamlin is in
the first stage of wholesome boom.
Down IN HAM, ALONE
The people down in Ham lone
Were shocked the other morning,
Because the train hooved in on time
Without a word of warning.
When it came squawking round the
bend
Just like scheduled car,
The natives CAPPED in wonder
Yes, even Mr.. Darr.
The rural carrier grabbed his hat
And squatted for a rush.
Bull-throated" Johnson cried,
"What's that?''
The train. No. No. Tushl Tush,
Ia wonder people gathered bout
And cried, "for heavens sake.
Conductor is it possible
That this is some mistaken
Yes, there it stood painting with pride
Beside the little station;
No longer could il, be denied
That it was some relation.
Two things that need schedule card
TO guide their every trip,
No one, when it comes in on time,
To ASK "What is the rip?"
CARD OF THANKS.
We realize that newspaper card
on Thanks is painfully trite; yet, we
feel that it would be very reprehens.
