3 May 4.-Chas. E. Anderson has sold
40 acres of land on Church hill, south
of the Swedish Lutheran church, to
the N. P. Ry. Co., for $500. This is

back again for about $500.

The attack made on the Rail Prairie
correspondent in the last weeks issue,
by Marietta Hamilton was a sad
reflection on the dictator. She claimed
the report that she resigned from the
Woodland Circle club was a false one.
There was a meeting of said club
called for April II, 1908, and all
members were notified to meet. Miss
Hamilton did not attend, as she
declared before a member Of said club
the evening previous, that she did not
care or want to belong to said club any
longer. So let it be called a false
report, pipe dream or whatever they
choose. Severl members of the Wood
land Circle club, claim Miss Hamilton
resigned in October 1906. AS for
those 'pipe-dreams'' she refers to.
they must have originated with
herself, as I am sure the Rail Prairie
correspondent has had none of them.
so could not possibly have published
Eany Of them as local news.
Respectively,
