July IL, 1907.
There was quite a scattering by our
people in celebrating the 4th this
year. Probablyssome OF the most ear
nest and enthusiastic was a patriotic
meeting by some of our Seniors down
at the old Shore place.
Theodore Torberson came back
from the west in time to hear the
eagle scream. Theodore says he saw
a good deal, but he didn't run across
anything like Grand Valley. OF
course we didn't expect him to do
that.
Mrs. Bernhard Torberson visited
with relatives in Norway township a
few days last week. We did not get
around to tease Bernhard about max
ing up a good dinner for us. He could
no doubt have done it alright, but
don't believe we miss it in thinking
that he is glad anyhow that we didn't
show up.
There was a small gathering enjoy
ing the hospitality of Charley Hanson
and bride last Sunday. We under
stand that Charley assumes his posi-
tion as head of the household with
modest dignity, while his sweet COM
panion-well we must refrain from
saying anything to create vanity.
Miss Carrie Hanson celebrated In
dependence Day with friends in Sioux
City. We were afraid she would have
staid longer than she did, but were
of course not at all disappointed on
her return.
John Peterson went down to Ne
braska to wear the colors of Old Glory.
That was no way John, when there
were those right here who were great
ly missing your jolly and happy dis,
position for the occasion.
Grand Valley was represented in
the confirmation class at Moe last
Sunday by Tinka Olson and Rose
Reierson.
There will be preaching at the
church here next Sunday at IL. a. m
Noticed some of our ladies out driv
ing last Sunday all by themselves
How is it with our boys, don't they
care for recreation of that kind? o.
didn't you girls give them a chance
Anyway it did not look as interesting
as it might to a news correspondent
Now boys don't lose courage for fea
that your names might appear il
the columns of this paper, for WI shall
not report you any less than we Cal
help.

Fairview

The glorious 4th Of July is passed
and Of course we all had a good time,
Some went to Beresford and some
went to the picnic across the river
from Fairview where, the steamboat
Nora carried passengers over.
The Fairview Bachelor has no de-
sire, we understand, to enter the mat
Frimonial market by the advertising
route. He prefers the good old FASH
Toned way which says: 1.-TWO souls

that beat as one.n When this heay-
emily condition arrives call a minister

Ole Eneboe has been at work paint

GOV, VAN SAINTS ADDRESS,.

'0r the Eagle bird to soar, and the
principal event was the patriotic adj
1ress delivered at the auditorium by
Ex-Governor VanSant before a SPLEEN
did audience OF men and women vino
enjoyed his speech, his patriotism
and his love for President Roosevelt.
Governor VanSant Is something Of a !
trust buster and knows what it means
to run up against corporation millions
from his experience with the great
"merger." He stood by his guns un-
til he had demolished the merger
breastworks and forced a dissolution
Of the anti-competition combine. He
referred TO this matter briefly in his
review OF national conditions, and
going back into revolutionary history,
presented to the. audience Elijah
Clark Sears, a son OF the revolution
over 1O2 years Of age. 1t was scene
worthy of artists brush when Gov.
VanSant asked the audience to stand
up and give three cheers for the man
whose father and two unclesh had serv-
ed under Washington in the wal that
made us a free and independent ma
tiOn.
Canton has a son and a daughter Of
the revolution and there Is no other
city In the nation that can say as
much. 1t had been arranged the day
before the 4th that Mrs. Col. Brown,
mother OF Mrs. Linn aged IS, and Mr..
Sears should occupy seats on the aud
itOrium platform when Gov. Van
SAINT spoke and tilat tiley were TO
come to the auditorium in Mr.. W.
r.. Stories new auto. Mrs. Brown
was unable to be present but Mr..
StOrle found Mr.. Sears waiting for
him when he called. Mr.. Sears en-
jOyed his first ride I'm an auto and MI.
StOrie vas proud to convey the old
gentleman to q fourth Of July cele-
bration 1O2 years after he was born.
There were no steamboats,, nc rail-
roads, no telegraphs and a very limit
ed mail service when our grand old
man first saw the light Of day down
In old Connecticut In 1905. Mrs.
Shields, daughter OF MI. Sears, sat
with him on the. platform. When
Gov. VanSant introduced him and
asked the audience to rise in his
honor 1t was q patriotic scene not du-
plicated In the United States for we
believe there Is no other son Of the
revolution living. Gov. VanSant led
the cheers and the ladies' responded
with waving handkerchiefs and Mr..
Sears made q short speech. After
listening to a song by Mrs. Anderson,
the Dakota Queen OF song, the old
gentleman was escorted from the aud
itOrinm and took a seat beside Mr..
StOrie who took him home at 30 mile
speed. Governor VanSant In his adj
dress brought great applause from
that big audience when he said lie
was and Minnesota was for the re-
nomination OF President Roosevelt
because the nation demanded 1T, and
that sound and safe commercial and
financial conditions could only be as,
sured ~ placing Theodore Roosevelt
In the White House for another term,
and again the audience applauded.
AT the conclusion Of the program
G0vernor VanSant was congratulated
by many for his splendid address, a.sa
Especially for his expressions with ref
terence TO the President.

MINERAL SPRINGS, Texas, Jan. l.
One hundred and twenty nine years
is said to have been the age Of Aunt"
Dorcas Harris, a negro woman, who,
had she lived until today, would have
seen parts Of three centuries. The old
negress lived until the week Of Christ
mas and 1t is people who have known
her for years that say among her remi-
niscences nothing pleased the old dar-
ky more than to relate the assertion
that she had known George Washing
ton and had seen him many times in
her early youth. She was born in 1777
and was a resident Of Palo Pinto Coun-
ty when the Oldest settlers came here
shortly after the Civil War. The old
woman was buried here.
