BUCK GROVE ITEMS.
!. x *************:

Jim Jones, OF Denson, was a bust
ness visitor in our town Tuesday OF
last week.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. 3. Albertson went
to Manila Sunday for a visit. Mr.
Albertson returned in the evening
but his wife remained for few days
visit with relatives. She came back
Wednesday afternoon.
Mrs. Dee left Tuesday for her new
home at Council Bluffs. She went
with Jim Jones to Denison Tuesday
and Wednesday Mr.. and Mrs. Jones
accompanied her to Council Bluffs.
where they left her nicely situated
with the Sisters of Mercy, where she
will have every comfort for the rest
of her declining years.
Mrs. Clarence O'Meara and Mrs.
John P. Welsh and Mrs. A. F. Bon
ney were all day guetss at the hos
pitable home of Mrs. Byron McMullen
last Wednesday. Mrs. McMullen has
a pleasant country place, one mile east
of Buck Grove, and her many friends
esteem it quite treat to have an op-
portunity to spend day in such de-
lightful spot The ladies all did JUS
tice to an elegant dinner and are an
Xiously awaiting the opportunity to
do so some more"
The work on the cement bridge just
west of town is progressing finely and
is nearly done. They are putting on
the ratings now and 1t is certainly a
fine piece of work and the county
may be well proud of it.
Mrs. Tilda Newman left Wednesday
afternoon for Bismark, N. D., where
she will spend the winter. Her daugh-
ter Ola Hadgell is teaching near that
place.
Miss Hattie Vogt and cousin, Miss
Neubaum, came down from Charter
Oak Friday to attend the dance.
Miss Bernice Bonney, who is teach
ing in Schleswig, started for Buck
Grove Friday after school was out,
taking a freight to Ute, but the train
was late and she reached the latter
place just in time to see the passen-
ger train pull out and pass her at the
crossing. That was certainly aggra-
waiting as she had to stay in Ute all
night and come down to Buck Grove
Saturday morning, reaching here at
9:O5. She had to drive to Arion Sun
day afternoon to get the train for Den
ison in order to reach Schleswig the
same afternoon by driving from Deni-
son. Rather a roundabout and eX-
pensive trip to go 20 miles, This is
where an interurban north and south
would be good thing.
Mr.. John Anderson, who used to be
resident of this section for number
of years, died at Council Bluffs last
week at the advanced age of IS years.
His remains were brought to Buck
Grove Sunday and buried beside his
wife in the cemetery here. He leaves
several children to mourn his loss.
The dance Friday night was quite
we'll attended and was very pleasant
affair. Buck Grove is getting quite a

find a nicer lot of young people any

nilla and Defiance.
