N. E. Bjerke and sister, Ida, autoed
to Andover Sunday and spent the day
with their sister, Mrs. Chris Solberg.
Andy Drone returned from his trip
Saturday morning and resumed work in
the barber shop. 1t is limited that he
is serving an attachment on some Nil
property north Of town.
Mrs. Augusta Blaha, Of Waubay,
and Miss Borbara Schanbeck came up
Wednesday morning and were the
guests of Mrs. Frebelkorn till Saturday
evening when they returned home.
We notice our friend F. H. Ihrke
won first prize in a cement guessing
contest. When Fred guesses at any
thing you just as good give 1T to him
first as last as he'll hit it every time.
Will Huwe, carrier on route two, has
had to give over the business to his
substitute for a time on account of
sickness. We understand the physi-
clan says he is threatened with typhoid
fever, but he is in hopes he can break
it up.
Mrs. VIM. Fink, formerly Bertha
Petrich, died at her home west of town
last Thursday night of pneumonia. She
was only sick a few days and her death
was a great shock to the community.
The funeral took place at the German
church north of town, and her body was
laid to rest in the Bristol cemetery.
She leaves a husband, one child nearly
a year old, and a large circle of rela-
tives and friends.
A complete surprise was sprung on
Alice Butler last Saturday evening
when nearly forty Of the young folks
of Butler and vicinity dropped in on
her at the hore of her parents Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. w. Butler, thn occasion
being her Goth birthday.
To say a jolly time was had would be
putting it very mildly. The evening
was spent in music and games, enliv-
ened by abountiful repast furnished by
the guests, and all present voted it
was good to be there. The numerous
and beautiful presents bestowed upon
Miss Alice attested the confidence and
esteem in which she is held by the
entire community. May she enjoy a
hundred more like occasions is the
wish of the Budget.
/
i notice by the Webster World that
Paul Dueree disputes the Butler Bud
get wherein it said he had moved back
onto his farm west of town. If Mr..
Duerre thinks that he has not moved
when the Budget says he has, we are
very sorry. 1t must be a difference in
opinion for which we are not respons-
IDLE. The Budget cannot retract its
statements for it would be setting a
very dangerous president. In fact
there is nothing so demoralizing to a
newspaper as TO keep retracting its
statements. We aim to have every
thing reliable in the columns Of the
Budget, except the editorials, they are
ike an attorney, a plea before a jury.
Married, at Clark October II; 1911.
Harry Hanson, of St. Paul, and Miss
Florence Hollingsworth, of Butler.
The leading event of the season, in
IN the social life Of Butler took place
last Monday evening when a reception
was given the young married couple at
the home Of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Orion Holingsworth.
The rooms which had been beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion with
autumn leaves of various hues, were
crowded with happy guests to the num-.
bsr OF fifty or more. Games and best
wishes, congratulations and getting
away with the good things which had
been provided for the inner man caused
the time to pass SO rapidly they wished
some Joshua would command the moon
to stand still so the parting hour would
not come so quickly.
A beautiful writing desk was given
them as a token Of good will.
The groom is a young man about %
years Of age, and comes highly recon-
en0 as . man Of sterling integrity.
and good business faculties. The bride
was born and has grown to womanhood
hsre, beloved and respected BY al.
We understand they win make Web
stsr their future home. The Budget !
joins their hosts Of friends IN wishing
