GREEN BUSH.

Who said it couldn't rain?
Frank Grow is now employed on the
farm of Frank Weinberg.
Services will be held in the Green
bush Catholic church next Sunday.
Many of our citizens we're seen on
the streets of Princeton last Saturday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Grow spent
Sunday with Mr.. and Mrs. John
Grow.
Clyde Robideau, Sam Shaw and
Art Leander played ball at Foley on
Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Bounton spent

Fradette. ...
Mrs. r. A. Ross was visiting with
her daughter, Mrs. A. E. Grow, one

Miss Conroy of Anoka is to be our

of good luck.
Mrs. j. II. Grow spent last Thurs
day and Friday in Princeton with c.
A. Grow and family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Il. Sager and family
and Mable Levi spent Sunday at the
Andrew Peterson home.
Chas. A. Grow, proprietor of the
Princeton hotel, was calling on rela-
tives here last Sunday.
Mrs. Nels Robideau and Mrs. John
Odegard spent Friday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. A. E. Grow.
We would like to know where Sam
Shaw held the hammock down last
Saturday evening. Will you inform
US, Sam?
After the rain storm last Friday
night every hill of corn in this COM
munity seemed to say II love the sun
but oh, you rain!"
Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Grow and Mr..
and Mrs. R. A. Ross spent very
pleasant day at the home of Louis
ROCKFORD last Sunday.
Mrs. John Odegard of Santiago
spent few days last week visiting
relatives and friends in Greenbush.
She returned home last Saturday.
Among the callers at Mr.. and Mrs.
G. S. Crows last Sunday were Mr..
and Mrs. John Zimple, Albert and
Cecilia Blair and Albert and Fred
Newman.
j. A. Allen of the Kansas City Oil
company was selling kerosene oil in
this locality a few days last week.
From reports he has sold large
amount throughout the country.
After months visit with relatives
and friends here, William Dilley de-
parted for his home in Carlyle,
Mont, last Thursday. Neil Grow
has gone with him and intends to
stay about three weeks.
Nels P. Robideau took load of
potatoes to st. Cloud last Tuesday and
obtained dollar bushel for them.
The variety was Early Ohios and they
we're excellent potatoes considering
the dry weather conditions.
We think some of the Greenbush
people are of the opinion that since
firecarckers we're abolished in some of
the cities on the Fourth that they are
going to make up for it on frewater.
But consider that frewater is not
equivalent to frecrackers, and next
time you 60 to town buy bunch of
crackers and keep the sidewalk.
This neighborhood was visited with
a heavy thunder storm last Friday
night and Saturday morning. The
rain fell in torrents steadily all night.
lightning flashes sizzled through the
skies in close proximity and the very
heavens seemed rent asunder as the
mighty rumble of the storm gods
chariots echoed across the billowy
surface of the clouds. The rain pene-
trated the dry and parched soil to
about the extent of five inches and
was certainly a great help to grass,
la.e potatoes, corn and all growing
plants.
Greenbush has something to be
proud of. She can boast on having
yet relic of the civil war. To this
very day William Normandin has
hat that his great grandfather wore in
the civil war. The fact that the hat is
in good condition today and is now
being worn by Mr.. Normandin GER
tainly goes to show that it is of good
material. The rim of the hat has
been somewhat shattered with bullets
but it still keeps off the rain. Such
noble characters as Mr.. Normandin
and his army hat are surely worthy
of mention.
