Victor GUSTS and C. r. Lundell
| went in to Chicago Saturday evening
with stock shipments.
A travelling salesman, who has traV'
eled over this line for several years,
stated at the depot one day last week
that what surprised him was the
great amount of all kinds Of freight
nnloaded at kiron and according to his
| observation and estimation there was
| no other town on the line that could
| beat it.
Charles Johnson, Of Alcester. S. D.,
spent several days in kirOn attending
10 business and getting acquainted
with our people.
The Gust Meyers sale Tuesday drew
large crowd and his effects sold at
fairly good prices, Mr.. Meyers and
family will soon leave for Minnesota,
where he has purchased farm,
Chas. Skarin, Eldridge Larson and
Roy Eckman returned home Wednes-
day morning from their trip to Chi
cago, where they marketed cattle.
The Mission Sewing circle met with
Mrs Otto E. Clauson Oh last Thurs
day afternoon with an attendance OF
over sixty. AS it was it's annual meet
ing the work for the past year was re-
viewed and the reports conveyed
most encoura ging figures. Mrs. Otto
Clauson was reelected leader and
Mrs. f. l.. Anderson assistant.
Arthur Jacobsen came home Friday
afternoon for an over-Sunday stay, re-
turning Monday morning to his COL
lego studies at the DenisOn college.
On Friday evening some over sixty
gathered at the home OF Miss Esther
Anderson to spend the evening with
her. AS they had not made her aware
Of their coming it was complete sur
prise. After the guests had all made
themselves at home, Rev. A. Young
berg, in a shore speech, told her the
object of the visitors coming as they
did unannounced to spend the evening.
and to show their appreciation Of her
services as organist at the Mission
church, and in his concluding remarks
presented her with a sum of money in
behalf Of his visitors. After several
short speeches and listening to sew
eral songs and selections of music,
the ladies served a lap lunch they
had provided. Esther, as we'll as her
guests, will remember the pleasant
event for a long time.
Some of our farmers went TO Deni-
son one day last week and were pres
ent when the county supervisors con-
sidered the Four Mile Grove road
question. For long time the bridge
over the Boyer on this road has been
cut, much to the inconvenience Of the
travelling public. 1t is the main road
leading to Vail and tC the timber south
of the river, where large number OF
our tax payers and farmers own tim
Der pieces. The matter has at re,
peated times been brought up before
the board and at one time large pc
lition was sent them by our tax pay
ers to put in a new bridge. Very lit
lie attention. the board paid to all
these demands and finally after all this
time they met last week and decided
TO yacate the road. This is an unjust
and most unsatisfactory piece of work,
which a travelling public and the ta2
payers have now to be contented with.
While it favOrs a few who will be
benefited by it, it will be at the eX
pense of quite number who own
timber pieces in the grove who will
either have 10 make number of miles
around to get to their timber or else
dispose OF the same 10 the land own
ers on that side OF the river for what
they can get out of it. From all re
ports, steps may yet be taken to have
the decision OF the board revoked.
