Mr.. Emil Stegeman is at last i'm
proving from his severe illness, being
able to sit up for few minutes every
day.
The Marsh Engineering company
have finished the cement bridge west
of town and it surely is fine one.
George Highly, the engineer in charge.
is to be congratulated on the excel
lent work.
Earl Chase has bought 12O acres Of
good Iowa land northwest OF town, but
expects to stay at home for the pres
ent and work the home place.
Reiff & Hamer bought a car load Of
potatoes, which they sold out recently
lat IS cents a bushel, and could have
sold many more if they had had them.
The potatoes on the home market
were too high, some asking as much
las $3.50 per bushel.
Misses Tessie and Nellie Sullivan
were around and took up collection
from the members of the Catholic
church here and succeeded without
any trouble whatever in getting 500
in cash, which was sent to Rev. Father
Lynch last week, as an expression of
good will and affection from his pa
rishioners here. The ladies deserve
Ia great deal of credit for doing the
work and those who donated must also
receive credit for doing so.
The dance at the hall Friday even
ing, under the auspices Of the Catholic
church, was not as we'll attended as it
should have been, owing to the busy
time of year. The young men picking
corn every day don't feel much like
dancing nearly all night There was
"a very nice crowd for good time, not
too crowded for the dancers, and the
music was fine, being furnished by the
Hahn orchestra, assisted by talent
from Manning. Mr.. Willis Virgins, of
Dow City, donated pair of mems
shoes which were ratified off and
brought the sum OF $4,000. Mr.. Asmus-
sen donated a pair OF mems shoes and
a pair of ladies' shoes to be given to
the two best walters in the prize
waltz Mr.. Ed Mccartney and his Sis
ter, Francis Mccartney. The money
received after paying all expenses
amounted to about $500, all of which
was given to Father Lynch for whom
the proceeds of the dance were in
tended. Too bad it wasn't more, but
with the 500 given as donation by
the parishioners, it makes tidy little
sum and we hope it will give the gen.
tleman as much pleasure to receive it
as it did his friends to give it; if so
he will be quite content.
Frank Hahn sold his moving picture
machine and bought an Edison, and it
surely is an improvement over the
other. 1t isn't many towns the size
of Buck Grove that can have home
moving picture show every week and
we appreciate it. Keep it up, Frank.
Mr.. Herman Neubaum has been laid
up few days with severe cold, but
is now able to be out again.
Louie Arndt and his bride came up
Saturday evening from Defiance to at
tend the moving picture show, and
after it was over went down to the
Jasper Hams home to stay all night.
The young people knew about it and
got together and gave them a rousing
charivari Louie and Bernice were
equal to the occasion and gave the
visitors what they asked fora free
or course everybody Will
have a good time and Louie will pay
the bill
Bernice Bonney very unexpectedly
has a vacation, owing to the fact that
the large school building at Schles-
wig burned to the ground last week
OF course school has to be
temporarily suspended until seats and
books can be procured. 1t is a great
loss and comes at a bad time of year,
as it is not good season to rebuild.
Meanwhile four teachers are out OF
work and those who could go are at
their homes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Eldridge Bryan re-
ceived visit from the good old stork
October oath, who left them baby
boy to bless their home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Sewing. of Ute.
are guests at the Byron McMullen
home.
