BANCROFT.

Banker Mason has sold the Grot-
john half section IN Spirit Lake town
ship TO w II. Williams, of Rock
Rapids, Iowa, who will take posses
sion of the farm next fall. The sale
was made on the day following the
blizzard and was a strenuous PROPOSE
ton. II was necessary that a person
al inspection should be made and the
two gentlemen started to drive to the
farm. The high drifts made it prac-
tically impossible for the horses which
were abandoned and the journey
made on foot. They made the trip Of
seven miles and return in about six
hours, looked the tract over and clos
ed the deal 1t requires a sitter pro

Badger Saturday to attend the meet
ing of the Danish brotherhood in the
evening, and informed the reporter
for this paper that the Brotherhood
expect to erect a hall the coming sea
son for their use at Badger, says the
Arlington Sun. The large majority
of the brotherhood live north of Ar
lington, and Badger will be more
central as a meeting place than Ar
lington, A lot already has been bar
gained for, and it is intended to put
up a substantial building the coming
season that will form a comfortable
lodge home, and at the same time
serve as a public hall for the village.
The lodge is strong in membership
and financially well able to finance
the undertaking. A building forty
