The news CT the death of Joseph

as a surprise Tuesday morning as it

Beauti(nl November weather.


A. G.. Martin has commenced the
erection of a commodious dwelling on
his farm in the northern part of Min
er county. 1t will doubtless be up
and enclosed this week. He will
push the matter of building as rapid
ly as the weather will permit He
does not plan to occupy it till spring.
He had the misfortune to be thrown
from a buggy last Sunday, and sus-
tanned a few slight bruises.
Jim Trousdale, like our president,
does things. The next morning after
the recent rain Jim was out in the
garden and, you wouldn't think it,
but he wa actually setting out straw
berry plants. And there were more
than a hundred of them. When the
strawberries get ripe he may need 10
keep a big dog.
Mrs. j. H.. Hall and Mrs. w. E.
Pratt, of De Smet, were visiting the
family of David Pratt on Friday last.
Supt. Seymour was visiting schools
in this part of the county the latter
part of last week, and also looking
after the official duties of school off
GERS. For those who were a little
slow in coming up to the standard, he
had a gentle reprimand neatly done
upi in a package of courteous language.
Many will be interested to know
that Walter Wilkinson has taken the
necessary examination and is order
ed to report at Minneapolis for duty
as railway clerk. Walter has been
restless on the farm, and it will be
remembered that he has been off at
different periods for considerable time.
once as engineer in a Touring mill
and once as grain buyer in the north
ern part of the state. In this, another
venture, many will join with us in
wishing him unbounded success.
Nh. and Mrs. George Buck and son
George spent Friday night with
friends on Poverty Ridge. 1t affords
us pleasure to have the old time
neighbors come back occasionally.
John Eliasson has concluded his
stay with his daughter, Mrs. G. n.
Rostad, and family, and has gone to
his home at Houston, Mimi. He spent
about three months here and gave un-
mistakable evidence of a high type of
manhood. He will be warmly well
coined should he decide to come
again.
Mr.. and Mrs. @. B. Grover, of De
Smet, broke bread with this writer
and family u day the first of the
week. Mr.. G. had been through this
locality occasionally during the past
summer with his circulating drug
store but Mrs. Grover seemed almost
a stranger here. They are always
more than welcome when they elect
to draw our latch string.

sincerely hope that the designs shown will
enable our readers to more easily select a

their Respective requirements.
The attractive home shown this week
is one that retains the square shape, which
is the most economical to build, but which
in most cases is so plain as to be distaste-
full to those who want a home that has a
distinguishing difference from its neigh
bOTs.
The large porch, with it's numerous i'm
mense columns, gives 1t a solid we'll built
effect.
Entering the reception hall, we look
through an arch into the spacious living
room with its corner fire place. The dimen-
sions of this room, 12x1S, will fulfill the
popular demand for a living room as large
