have been so successfully treated as
to be ready for active service, A. E.

Rev. r. r. McKaig arrived from
Geneva, Wis, last Monday to accept
the position of county secretary and
engage in Y. NJ. C. A. work in Kings
bury county the coming year. As will
be remembered a county organization
was perfected last spring early but it
has been impossible to secure a good
to take charge until now. Rev.
McKaig recently resigned his position
as pastor of the Methodist church at
West Concord, Mimi, to engage in
Y. M. G.. A. We understand that Mr..
McKaig will make his headquarters
in Lake Preston, the railroad con

to cover the entire county better from
this point than at either of the other
towns.-Lake Preston Times.

Guy Shaw, a young mar from
Oldham, was brought 10 this city, the
part of last week upon the
charge of insanity. The board gave
the matter a hearing Monday and
adiudged him to be insane. The
young man is quite violent at times.
1t seems that he has been attending a
theological seminary and while there
was a very hard student. Over study
put him to the bad mentally. Later
he came back to Oldham and went to

Unfortunately he attended some spe-

hoped that treatment at the hospital
will effect a permanent cure. He is
a young man who is spoken of as
honest and industrious.
The annual stockholders meet
