Rev. John Dignam and Senator L. A.
Simpson left Dickinson at a late hour on
Wednesday Of last week for a business
trip to Hettinger. They made a nice
auto run to the Adams county seat in
about three hours, arriving at their desti-
nation in the early evening. They re-
NAMED at Hettinger Thursday and
started on the return trip Friday morn
ing. There was a regular blizzard in
the country south that morning but Fr.
Dignam and MI. Simpson faced the
storm and headed for home, making fair
progress until they neared the North
western ranch, where the machine got
stalled in a drift. They put up
for a time at Jackson's and made the
rest of the trip with a team, arriving
home Saturday evening.
The leap.year dance given by the
ladies of St. Johns church at the opera
house on Tuesday evening was a grand
success. The hall was crowded at an
early hour. The ladies were not slow in
filling out long lists of values, two-steps,
three-steps, ETC., and the gentlemen
hardly found time for a smoke between
dances. The Ladies' Guild served an
excellent supper on the stage and every
part Of the program was carried out very
nicely. The music was good, the. people
were pleasant and all who attended had
an excellent time. The only difficulty
was the lack of floor space. The ladies
are greatly pleased with the result of
their efforts, which added s78 to their
funds.
Mayor and Mrs. Dan Manning left
Thursday afternoon for an extended trip
through Illinois, MI. Manning's native
state, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and
Florida. The mayor rather thinks he
will find eating chicken from silver
dishes in Dixie a pleasant contrast to
hard tack from his fist IN those same
states in the Cos. Several friends of
Mr. and Mrs. Manning gave them a
pleasant ~ surprise at the depot and
sent them off with a real wedding rice
shower. A handsome bouquet, presented
them in the Pullman, and the goodbyes
of FIR. Dignam were arranged to give
credence to the "newly wed" idea.
The opening supper given by the
Methodist ladies in their new rooms in
the church basement was most literally
%patronized and we'll deserved all the
compliments it received. Mrs. A. H.
Deiters wa chairman of the committee
and was assisted by Mrs. Hugh Roberts
and Mrs. F. D. Wilson, while every
member of the society was a special
committee of n to see that all guests
were speedily served with the choice
viands prepared. The tables were pref
tily decorated with vases of pink and
white carnations and ferns, which with
the flowers sold from the fancy booth,
were the gift of Mrs. Deiters. Mrs. w.
T. Nickel and Mrs c. w. Blakely pre-
sided over the fancy booth, where many
pretty articles found ready sale, and de-
licious homemade candies we're dis
pensed for a money consideration by
Misses Ruby Roberts and Hazel Wilson.
To Mrs. Wilson Eyer was assigned the
cashiers duty and her balances showed
total receipts s122.3o with a net sum wei
expenses of slo7.35.
Rev. o. T. Just announces that he ex-
poets to leave with his family in about
six weeks for Vancouver, B. c., to which
place he has accepted a call from
the Mission Board of the Evangelical
Lutheran Synod of Ohio to take charge
of the work in that city. There has been
but very little done in the German
branch of the work in his new field, which
we are confident will be strengthened by
Mr.. Just's faithful services. Every MEM
Der of the several churches in charge of
Mr.. Just in this county is his enthusiastic
supporter, and the family has scores of
friends in this city who are very sorry to
learn of the coming change. MI. Just's
successor has not been selected.
