NELS M. SWENSON

The Ringo Lake community was
thrown into gloom Of sorrow
Tuesday evening of last week, when
Nels M. Swenson, one of the most
prominent and respected citizens OF
that locality, was called away tc
his eternal home. leaving wife and
five children.
About year ago Mr.. Swenson
suffered stroke of paralysis which
confined him to his bed, but from
which he partially tho slowly re.
covered, and hopes were enter.
tanned that he might become well
man again. But such was not tc
be. He was overtaken with a sec.
ond stroke at about 6 o'clock last
Tuesday afternoon, which proved
fatal in a few minutes.
The deceased was born in Sweder
June 3, 1859. He came to America
in 1880, spending the first six years
in Illinois and Indiana, coming tt
this county in 1886. On June 16,
1891, he was united in marriage tt
Mathilda Olson, daughter of the
late Arne Olson Sagholtet Of Lake
Andrew, in which town he has since
made his home.
The funeral took place last Thurs
day afternoon at the Swedish In,
theran church of New London, Rev
Seastrand conducting the last sac
rites. The church had been tastil,
draped for the occasion. Rev. Gus
tafson of Wisconsin, who was pres
ent, opened the services with scrip
ture reading and prayer. The choil
rendered two Sings. The remain!
were laid at rest in the Lebanon
cemetery.
The bereaved family has the sin
cere sympathy Of all in their ire

The Tribune is planning special
tour to the Minnesota State Fair
and Twin Cities this year, to leave
Willmar Thursday, Sept. 8, in the
afternoon and returning the fol-
lowing Saturday. The excursion
will be personally conducted and
chaperoned and all details in regard
to accommodations will be arranged
before the train leaves Willmar.
AS now planned, fifty persons will
be taken care of, and it is case of
first come, first served"
The advantage Of an excursion is
that the participant has absolutely
nothing to worry about III regard
to accommodations and transporta-
ton; has good, jolly company with
people from home and will be able
to see more enjoyable features dur
ing the time than would be possible
were he or she struggling about
alone. 1t is possible to get better
accommodations for party than
for single individuals. Where the
itinerary includes a long trip by
street car a chartered car will be
Used, thus obviating the jostle and
jam incident to the State Fair
crowds. Will you be one with US?
We will vouch for that you never
made more enjoyable trip to the
cities or covered more ground with
as much comfort while there. Here
is an outline Of the program for
the trip as prepared:

After the sale of the articles made

The net proceeds were forty dol

WHEN "cus" SHOWED UP LATE.
His Excuse Was One That Few of the
Tribe Could Make.

The average newspaper reporter is
young man generally not possessed
of too much money and who con-
siders himself lucky II he is able to
square accounts from week to week.
But there is one newspaper reporter
in New York who does not have to
bother about financial problems. He
rides down to the office of his paper
every day in his own automobile. The
young man is the son of wealthy
iron manufacturer. He is reporter
of the common or garden variety on
an afternoon newspaper and so far
has managed to hold on to his job
He showed up so late at his office
the other morning that his city editor
inquired, somewhat sarcastically,
whether he thought he was working
on morning newspaper.
The cub tapped his highly polished
tan shoes with his slender cane,
flecked a bit OF dust from his clothes
and struck the city city editor dumb
by replying:
well, you see. my man failed to
wake me up on time"
