THE PARK ASSEMBLY.

The first annual assembly pro-
gram at Willmar is being looked
forward to with genuine interest
by the people of city and co 1ntry as
we'll as by many of neighboring
communities. In view of an early
harvest, the dates selected early last
spring are unfortunately somewhat
late. Judging by the years last
past, the committee believed that
the dates set would bring the as
sembly two or three weeks before
harvest begun in earnest. The ear
ly bookings Of talent prevented any
change of dates later. But even as
it is, there will be good attend
ance Of farmers who feel interested
in making success of the Assemb-
ly. This is evidenced by the fact
that some Of them are buying sea-
son tickets.
The Assembly is in no sense a
private enterprise. The park was
acquired as a public benefit and the
permanent success of the Assembly
will have value to the entire COM
munity that can hardly be overesti-
mated. Willmar people as rule
are eagerly looking forward to the
opening session next Wednesday
and are doing everything they can
to assist in getting ready for the
event and to entertain the visitors
that will come TO the city. A COR
dial welcome awaits all.

The Georgeville T. A. S. meets
at Georgeville on Saturday evening
July 16.
The recital given by Miss Jua
Sonstegard under the auspices of
*'Fremtiden's Haab'', the young
peoples society of Gausdahl church,
was a grand success. The church
was filled by an appreciative audi

London sextette and the Belgrade
quartette were we'll rendered, also
the solos, instrumental and vocal,
by Miss Rykken and Mr.. Babcock.
The work of Miss Sonstegard was
the chief feature of the evening.
This is the first time she has been
heard in her own neighborhood
since she was a mere girl. The
naturalness Of her manner, the alb
sence Of all affectation, the quick
change from one character to a.
mother, the richness and flexibility
of a voice that is under perfect con-
troll make her work one which is a
rare pleasure to listen to. Her
reading Of edward Storm and
the feeling and sympathy that she
put into the rendition of that
grand old poem was treat to
people who often hear their moth
er tongue carelessly spoken. Miss
Sonstegard goes to Sissetion, S. D.,
on Monday when she will give an
other recital in the near future.
Horatio Landlord King, the
southern writer, has spent week

is at Fargo, N. D.. i'll. He will la
ter visit Sisseton, S. D., where his
marriage to Miss Sonstegard will
