About as slick a piece of work as
Lintonites have seen for many a day
was the moving of the Petrie store
building north from one Of the lots
on which the new two-story and
basement structure is to be erected.
Some dimension stuff. some creased
planks and a few jackscrews placed
horizontally did the work. The
plan was that of A. U. Ostrum, the
old-timer competent mechanic who
always thinks out" his lob be-
fore he begins it.
A letter just received by a Lin
ton lady-friend of Miss Mae Dorm
sife says that by.a recent fire she
lost her millinery stock and fixtures,
as we'll as the building. in which she
rented several rooms. The amount
OF insurance, if any, was not named
in the letter. Miss Dornsife resides
in Tekoa. Wash. The fire is sup

carelessness of one of her tenants.
who was smoking.
Mrs. Rush and Miss Lizzie Rush,
of Williamsport. were visitors in
Linton Friday. The young lady
has an incipient attack of appendici-
tbs. and it is thought that an opera
ton will have to be performed. The
Record Office received welcome
visit from these pleasant and hos
pitable early settlers. The term
early settlers" hardly applies to
Miss Lizzie, as she did not settle"
in Emmons county until several
years after her parents came here.

new Emanuel church of the Evan
gelical Association. eight miles
northwest of Linton. will be devot-
ed to the service of the triune God.
The Rev. August Huelster. of Kas-

G. E. Williamson. of Charlton,
Iowa, one of the proprietors of the
Moffit town-site. was in Linton Mon
day evening. The gentleman circu-
lated a quite unique hand-bill relat-
ing to the sale of lots at Moffit.
The 'dodger. " like the town, is tri-
angular in shape and is very attrac-
