We have not said much of our
affairs in the local papers this year,
because we have been to busy trying
to win the good will of our patrons.
When we started the New Jim Music
Store two years ago there were many
who said we wouldn't last five months,
but today we can say with pride that
we are still here and that we now
have more friends than ever before.
During those two years we have at all
times aimed to do the very best by our
customers that We possibly could.
We wanted the people of New Ulm
and the neighboring towns to believe
in us and to our satisfaction we can
say that we have succeeded. No one
can do business without friends and
we have tried to make these people
our friends by giving them in every
instance square deal. And we shall
continue to do SO in the future.

The Fairfax Games.

The New Ulm basket ball teams
played at Fairfax on Friday evening
instead of on Saturday as originally
advertised. The bad roads made it
impossible to drive across the country
and hence both teams were compelled
to resort to roundabout and tire
some railroad trip through Winthrop,
leaving here at s O'Clock in the morn
ing.
The boys who represented New Ulm
were Buenger, Baeker, Anthony, HUM,
Stadtherr and Dirks. The girls, who
were under the chaperonage of Miss
lockwood, were Tesna Giefer and
Flora Getting, forwards, Lauretta
Sturm and Emma Riegler, guards. and
Glesa Vedder, Trina Blauert and M ar
tina Winkelmann, centers5
The first game was played by the
girls, and although the score would
Indicate decisive victory for Fair
fax, it was by no means a disappoint-
ment, for it must be remembered that
they were pitted against one of the
strongest girls teams in the state, and
moreover they were all tired out when
the game commenced. At the end of
the first half the New Ulm girls led
with score of I to 5, due partly to
the splendid guarding of Emma Rieg-
Ter, and up to the middle of the second
half the Fairfax team had been unable
to establish a lead. In the last quar-
ter, however, the endurance of the New
Ulmites gave out and when team work
was abandoned those who were not
tired became discouraged and allowed
Fairfax to win with ease.
The boys game must have been a
sUrprisetot the people of Fairfax. While
their home boys played swift as indi.
viduals they were weak in team work
and at no time we're match for the
New Ulmites in all-round playing.
The game resulted in score of "a to
10 in favor of the visitors.
After the contest the Fairfax high
school pupils served refreshments to
their guests and showed that their
heart was in the right place even
though they were only partial victors.
New Ulm will undoubtedly remember
their hospitable treatment when the
return game is played here on Febru-
airy 18th.

District Court.

The fall term of the district CO urt
convened at the court house in this
city yesterday with Judge Olsen on
the bench. At eleven O'Clock the
grand jury was charged and William
Ruemke of New Ulm was appointed
foreman. John R. Schmid of SPRING
field acted as clerk and Arnold Gull
den, James Addy and Chas. Roeder
as bailiffs.
Very little criminal work developed
and at noon today the jury was ready
to adjourn. Only three indictments
were returned.
The petit jury assembled this fore
noon, and as good many cases
have been dismissed or continued il
isn't likely that they will have long
session of it either.

1t is now nearly two years since the
New Ulm Music Store was started and
we feel very proud of the record we
have made. Were it not for the in
terest displayed in the enterprise by
our good friends in New Ulm and the
neighboring towns we would not be
here today, for we do not expect to
continue in business where it is not
profitable. By trying to do the right
thing at all times we have had their
good will and prospered and we hope
to be able to continue to merit their
confidence. Yours to serve.
