Gollmar Bros. circus had wet, cold
day for their Cresco..d date, the rain in the
morning preventing the attendance of
those who must drive any considerable
distance; but despite sthe discouraging
weather, nearly 5000 people witnessed
the afternoon performance and small
err yet good sized, crowd We're present
in the evening. The show fully met
all expectations, being clean and well
conducted and most courteous corps
of employees throughout. The circus
performance was devoid of any special
''thrillers" but from start to finish
both rings and stage were constantly
occupied with high-class acts Of every
variety.
The New Era also publishes letter
from the State Superintendent asking
Mr.. McCook to act as one of the read
ers of teacher examination papers un-
der the new state examination law, in
which Mr.. Riggs writes: Eve are anx-
ious to secure the most competent
board of readers possible, hence we are
making our selections with the greatest
care. The pay offered for this work is
small, butwe have thought many of our
best educators who will not be other
wise engaged during the first half of
July might be willing to assist us, not
so much for the money as from desire
to help inaugurate the new certificate
law under the most favorable condit-
ions.
Last evening number of friends
lperpetrated surprise on Mr.. and Mrs.
John Culbert to celebrate their fifth
wedding anniversary. They descended
upon the unsuspecting home about nine
o'clock and until late hour the hours
were pleasantly spent in progressive
cinch and the careful disposition of a
dainty lunch in which several, includ-
| ing the writer, signally distinguished
themselves. Before the company de-
parted they presented Mr.. and Mrs.
Culbert with a beautiful picture as
souvenir of the occasion and John, was
giuen so many attentions and ct ceteras
that he came down town the next
morning still smacking his lips in bliss
full remembrance.
Elsewhere we publish an item from
| the Elma New Era announcing the re-
moval from Elma of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
R. McCook, who have received merited
promotion to the Shell Rock schools.
Although we rejoice in the success of
these worthy young people, we sincere
ly regret to see them leave the county.
Mr.. McCook has always been active,
and efficient among the ranks of the
county's educators, and in the councils
of the political party with which he
affiliated, was always aggressive and out
spoken in advocacy of genuine Demo-
cratic principles. When such young
menleave for other fields it is distinct
loss to the community and county in
which they reside.
