Forum: Gilbert Elliott returned home
on Saturday from term at the Dakota
Business college at Fargo and will re-

here. An appropriate discourse was
delivered by Pastor Dean of the M.

the children and song service by a
selected choir. The pulpit and plat
form were handsomely decorated with
flowers All the services Were inter-
testing and impressive.
Sunday last Mrs. John Boos cele-

of her family residing here and sever

was one of twenty five years acquaint-

was served in the good old fashioned
way. Her age. as with all women, is
an indeterminate number, and we can
only say that she is after 20 and before
so. She looks to be long distance
from the latter number Nature has
dealt kindly with her and we hope she
may enjoy many more like occasions.
