Aberdeen Monday, having been
up there to remain over Sunday. DR..
Lamme is a member of the commit
tee of the Methodist church which
was recently appointed to buy a new
pipe organ for the church, and his OBJ
Ject in going to Aberdeen was to in
vest1gate the e pipe organ which
was recently installed in the Method

the gift of some eastern friends. The
local church hopes to have it's or
gan Installed within a few months,
Parties living in the northwest
part of Hanson county report having
seen a deer in the vicinity of the
church a few days ago. 1t was not
fully developed and was about the
size of a calf. A man and his wife
were driving along the road when
the deer appeared from a field and
struck of t othe west. The animal had
got too far away when the informa-
tion was spread around SO that the
trail could be taken up and a deer
hunt INDUCED in. A deer in this sec
ton of the country is something of
a novelty. The parties who saw it
declare that it was a wild animal,
and was not an escaped pet.
Sunday morning the government
thermometer went to a point 20 de-
grees below zero, and the record for
the winter so far was shattered. In

so cold. All day Sunday the mercury
failed to get above the zero mark,
and the warmest it was during the
day was two degrees below zero. This
morning the thermometer register
ed IA degrees below zero. and the
end does not seem to be yet. The
weather that can be anticipated
through January and February will
not be much of an imropvement over
the present.
