Remembered by His Neighbors.

One of the pleasantest country gath
erings of the season was held on
Thanksgiving evening at the home OF
County Commissioner Ole Knudson
in Orrock. Mr.. Knudson was 66 years
old that day, and his neigbhors knew
it, and about 40 of them, including
some of the old settlers, got together
and went to his home and gave him a
genuine surprise. The evening was
delightfully."- spent and the guests left
a number of material reminders of the
pleasant occasion. Mr.. Knudson is
rightfully held in high regard by all
who know him, and it is their wish
that he may live to enjoy many more
such gatherings. Elk River Star
