KIRON

Ben found time to drop in and shake
hand and tell US that he will soon
leave with his family for South Da-
kota. He is one of the old settlers
in this neighborhood and will be
missed.
Mrs. Eva Grard and son Of Schles-
wig, drove TO kiron Tuesday with a
load of pop corn which they sold to
our dealer, G. A. Norelius.
Richard Johnson, of Denison, made
Kiron a short visit on Tuesday.
Miss Ollie Larson, who was an APP
plicant for the position as teacher in
the grammar room at the high school
at Ute, was notified last week of her
acceptance and appointment, and will
enter the new duties in September.
While our people are greatly pleased
to learn of her deserved success in
securing this position, they equally
regret that it will take her away from
Kiron. Ollie is first class teacher
in every sense of the word, and Ute
will profit in more than one way in
having her coming to their town.
Quite rain, wind and hail storm
passed over this locality on Monday
night last week, and did consider
able damage to crops. Near town
no damage was done to speak of, the
corn leaves were somewhat beaten
but not enough to damage the crops.
Commencing about two miles east and
at width of about two miles the
hail portion of the storm travelled in
q southeasterly direction leaving many
grain and corn fields in ruined con-
dition. Among the farmers who lost
more or less of their crops we're Aug.
Girman, Gust Stehr, John Pithan,
Chas. Ernie, Some of these carried
hail insurance and will be reimbursed
to certain extent.
If the News had taken half as
much pains in ascertaining the true
cause of the death of the horse as it
did in the nonsensical way of report
ing it, it would have proven some
news to its readers, instead of a mess
of sheer sillinss.
c. B. Larson returned home on
Wednesday from several days bust
ness mission at Council Bluffs for his
firm.
Mrs. P. E. Nordell very pleasantly
entertained the Womans Sewing Cir
Gle at her pleasant home in Old Kiron

Nordell, E. j. johnson and Edwar'
johnson and the Misses Alice Sand
berg and Lydia Lindbloom spen
several hours at Odebolt on Frida,
evening.
The editor of the Odeboit Chronicle
had this to say about our town in hi
last issue. 1--WE hadn't been in Kiro
for several years until last Frida
afternoon and hence we were surpris
ed to find such a pretty and prosperou
village. A number of modern home
have been built in the last few years
and with nicely kept lawns, profusio
of roses and flowers Of all kinds an
trees properly trimmed, the residenc
streets make a handsome appearance
Kiron is the center of rich territor
and enjoys fine trade.
