R. o. Smith has moved into his
splendid new residence on Fourth
| street.
E. M. Stanton, of the Ramharter
Grocery, is back from a weeks visit
with friends at Columbia.
Oscar Rugtiv, who recently came
here from Estherville, Iowa, has ac-
cepted position as clerk in the Smith
& Phifer grocery.
The New Haven now has all the ap-
pearance of a brick front. Painting
was completed on the building this
week and Landlord O'Neill has good
looking hostelery.
Will Saulter is doing about the best
job Of street sprinkling the city has
yet had. Will is not afraid of the
water and touches all the dusty spots
in the business section.
Rev. R. T. Fulton and family are en-
joying visit from the formers mother,
Mrs. Harriet j. Fulton, of Keokuk,
Iowa. Mrs. Fulton came Immediately
from Mora, Minn., where she spent a
month with another son, who is also
in the ministry.
w. H. Watts arrived last week from
Newberg, Oregon, where he has made
his home since leaving here over a
year ago. He says he likes that coun-
try to live in very we'll, but it is a hard
place to get hold of a dollar. Last
year he went into the vinegar business
and last fall made about 10000 gallons
which he will have to keep two years
to properly sour. He is back here
trying to sell his farm-got to have
something to live on, he says-and
was rather glad he held his land here
until this time. K. L. Tangen, who
went with him to Newberg, is on a
small farm near there and is doing
quite well. Mr.. Watts left for the
twin cities and Duluth on business
Saturday morning and will return this
way on his way west.
"Proof of the puddin' is in the eatin y
and it has been proven conclusively to
The Times family that the honey bee
is just about the right thing in this
country and the time is not far distant
when few hives will be found on
most every farm. Last spring G. S.
Brown got swarm from a neighbor,
Mr.. Christianson, a newcomer who had
some success with bees where he came
from, and the. first product was taken
out Friday evening when Mr.. Brown
visited the farm. Twelve full pounds
was taken out of the upper deck in
the hive, the bees having been busy
the first part of the season in laying
in their winters supply. It was made
up in the usual way, in one pound boxes
provided for that purpose, and was of
good heavy weight and tasted excel
lent. Mr.. and Mrs. Cox have charge
of the farm and are taking a lively
interest in the bees.
Those who failed to attend the
entertainment given by Rev. and Mrs.
G. w. Lutz at the Methodist church on
Monday evening missed a rare treat.
The address of Mr.. Lutz on his trip
through Yellowstone Park teemed
throughout with eloquence and wit.
There was nothing missed on the trip
save the writer's linen duster, and Rev.
Lutz can have that next time, if he so
desires, when he visits old Riverside by
moonlight. It will be splendid thing
when angels" are Topping around in
their night gowns. The readings by
Mrs. Lutz were out of the ordinary in
their rendition and the effect on the
audience was very pleasing indeed.
| This is the way Rev. and Mrs. Lutz
spend their summer vacation, and their
stay in Oakes was made doubly pleasant
from the fact that Mrs. Lutz enjoyed
a.visit with her brother, E. H. Ferris.
They left Monday for their home at
Austin, MIMI, where Mr.. Lutz is pastor
