WATERFOWL, spent Sunday in this vici-
nifty. Misses Verna and Alta Jones
went per night train Monday to Ham
line, Mimi, to resume their studies at
the Hamline University. -. A. Dill
man went to Madison Saturday and
the same day accompanied home Mrs.

ment at the hospital. Editor Downie

! day afternoon and made the Item .
brief fraternal call. The brother was
q spillin' over with carnival enthusi-

err for Thursday next and two mOre...
A number of Milbank live-wire citizens
accompanied the Eagle Band on q trip
Tuesday to Revillo and other towns to
help advertise the Harvest Carnival to
be held at Milbank September 26, n
and %. The party made the trip in
autos, there being fourteen in the pro-

we'll they may come again and often.
Summit Signal:
VIM. Croker. wife and daughter,
Of st. Paul. came out last Saturday
and visited over Sunday with his son,
Ed. Mr.. Croker is one of the Mil
waukee's popular passenger conduc-
tors, and has many friends here who
are always glad to greet him.. Miss
Hettie Maxfeld, of Milbank, left for
Candy, Mimi, last Friday, where she
has accepted a position as teacher in
the public schools at that place. Miss
Hettie taught in our schools the past
two years and was very successful in
her work. 1t is to be regretted that
she decided nOt to return to our school
this year, and our people feel they
have lost one of the very best teachers
our school board had ever been able
to secure. The schools of Candy
should congratulate themselves upon
securing the services of this able in
structor. She numbers her friends by
her acquaintance here, and the COM
munity. as a whole, wish her Gods
speed in her new location. Ralph
Wiley, on Friday, Sept. g., closed n
of the largest cattle deals ever known
in this section OF the state. He sold to
| Banker & Deniston and sears & Gold,
at Redwood Falls, Mimi, 223 head Of
cattle, netting him the nice little sum
Of SO, 483. IS. He also sold two sad
die horses for 800. This deal surely
puts a very large feather in Ralph's
cap and crowns him king Of the cattle
dealers. He is a hustler without an
equal. He has his eagle eye out all
the time, and that is what brings home
the goods. If we had a few more men
in this community like Ralph Wiley,
the hills in and around Summit, which
now are barren, would be dotted with
cattle. Ralph says this deal is only
drop in the bucket as to what he will
pull off later. Here's hoping you
will make a million, Ralph, and may
success be yours in every deal you
make. Enterprising citizens of Mr..
| Wiley's type is what makes a busy
and prosperous community.

samples of his second crop of straw
