an auto Monday evening and called
on some friends.
Miss Minnie Peterson, OF Vail, came

Mr.. Sykes, Of Manila, an automo-

Sidney Bonney made quite a trip
Thursday on his motorcycle, going
from here to Manning, Arcadia, West
Side, VAIL etc, but finally had a
brea kdown and had to leave his ma
chine near West Side until he can get
repairs.
We had quite little wind storm
here Thursday afternoon. 1t carried
several boards off of the top OF the
west end of a corn crib clear over east
of said crib and deposited them on
the ground near the elevator. AT the
same time a chimney was taken Oft
of Mr.. Hemphill's new house clear
down to the roof, besides various 9th
er little minor things. A twin sister
to little cyclone, all right.
Mr.. G. L. Caswell, O. Denison, was a
Buck Grove caller Saturday. He came
over with Mr. Boylan in an auto. They
were on their way to Dow City.
Robert Beutel came down from
Charter Oak Saturday evening for an
|over-Sunday visit with his family.
Miss Laura Russler returned Satur-
day evening after a few days visit
in Denison.
One of the pleasantest events ever
participated in occurred in our town
last Sunday. Ten children made their
first communion, five boys and five
girls. 1t was truly a beautiful sight.
The church and altar were tastefully
decorated with flowers, the interior
of the building had been freshly paint
ed, the isle carpeted and best of all
the children. Five little girls dressed
in pure white with wells and Wreaths
and the boys with new black suits and
flowers on coat lapelS were beautl-
full sight as they approached the COM
munion rail for the first time to par
ticipate of the blessed sacrament. One
could not help but envy them their
happiness and innocence. After mass
Father Lynch enrolled them each in
the Scapular and then gave them the
pledge, each one promising to abstain
from strong drink Of any kind until
twenty-one years OF age. When the
services at the church were over
number of friends and relatives of the
children gathered at the pleasant
home of Tom White, Sr where an
elaborate breakfast was served. The
celebration was for the first communi-
cants, all of whom sat at the first
table and seemed to enjoy to the full
fore them. The tables were set out
doors and it was very enjoyable after
the rain. Old and young had good
friends and neighbors could get to-
gether and enjoy each others company
oftener. Many thanks are due to Mr..
White for throwing open his home and
grounds for the enjoyment of so many
and we are sure he felt repaid when
viewing the happy children.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Omeara, of
Dow City. were here Sunday. They |
brought their son, Leo, up to make his
first communion.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Cole are the hap |
by parents of another baby boy, who
came to bless their hearts and home |
one day last week.
Miss Nellie Champion passed |
here on her way from Coon
Grove, where she has been, to Sioux
City Monday.
