The principals are Mr.. and Mrs. enry

Nineteen Birthdays i'm so Years

A letter from w. C. Turner, who
is now located at Little Falls, Mimi,
says: ! send you notice of doings here
and wish you would publish it for the
benefit of numerous friends in Web
ster. We are established here and
have a nice home of our own.
The reason for cutting the notice
from the Little Falls Daily Transcript
was that you editors have so many
unopened papers go to the waste
basket.
Five generations were well repre-
sented Thursday evening at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. C.. Turner on
Second street northeast. The occasion
was one of considerable significance
owing to rhe fact that Grandpa Turner
was so years old upon that day and
only having celebrated nineteen birth
days during that time. He was born
on the 18th of February, only having a
birthday cnce in four years. Those in
attendance from u of the city were
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Turner, of Fargo,
and Mrs. Dan Knight, and son of Sis
seton, S. d., together with Mr.. and
Mrs. E. B. Griffith and family and Mr..
and Mrs. f. F. Turner and family, of

served and Gradpa Turner was the
recipient CT many congratulations from

brance from the family. 1t is hoped
that he may live to enjoy many more

Mr.. and Mrs. S. L. Potter, who

arrived home Sunday night and report
a most enjoyable winter. They did
not stay quite as long as they intended
for Mr.. Potter developed a case of the
grip and then, of course, there was no
place like home.
During their journeys the gentleman
tells us that they went through some
very good country and some not 5
good. Saw a most delightful winter
climate. Had the pleasure of the
Oregon fruits. Thinks the forty acre

mit-Aberdeen. Double
Track to BE Laid.
Other Changes

There will be much doing between
Aberdeen and Summit during the COM
ing summer. The greatly increased
business of the Chicago, Milwauk ee
and ST. Paul road since it has put in
its trans-continental lines has made it
almost impossible to get the freight
from Aberdeen through the hills to
Summit over the single track and their
business has been constantly on the
increase. Had there been a good crop
last year they would not have been
able to have handled it. The company
realizes this and is now going to put
in double tracks from Aberdeen to
Summit and will lower the grades all
along and make many other improve
ments. 'Put in a new depot at We b.
ster' We hear somebody ask. No!
Not unless this one burns down. But
let us be thankful for the many good
things we are to receive.
This is no hot air proposition this
time. The line is being surveyed from
Aberdeen east.
A party of surveyors were in Ortley
yesterday and established new gravel
pits in the hills on this side which will
be opened Immediately.
A work train is already on the job
between Aberdeen and Groton and the
concrete crews are establishing sta
tions.

NUMBER 80
An Invitation

AS the Day county member of the
Sterling committee, ! hereby extend a
cordial invitation to the citizens of this
county to attend a meeting at the
opera house in Webster, on Friday,
March %, 1912, at s o'clock p. M, at
which time Hon. Thos. Sterling, repub-
lican candidate for the office of United
States Senator, will deliver an address
on The Politics of the Day.
For the promotion of his interests
we have organized a voluntary associ-
alton whose motto is: "Men of high
ideals and sound principles for public
officials" In Sterling we have such a
man. 1t is my good fortune to have
been personally and intimately
acquainted with him for many years,
and | krow that his qualifications as a
statesman are of the best, his ideas
are high and his purposes grand. He
was an early pioneer in South Dakota,
and for over thirty years his best life
and labor have been given to the pro-
motion of the welfare of u people.
In his work, in both private and pub
lie life, and as a law maker, law
enforcer, and law instructor he has but
few, if any equals. He is a reform
republican, hut not an extremist. He
is a pleasing and forceful public
speaker, not a bombast.
Come and hear him.

with thirty candles-we were not told
whether it was thirty for each one OF
both. The whole party enjoyed every

Red Lights in Webster

This will be a surprise to many, but
they have come to stay. For years
the telephone company and the city
administration have been trying to
devise some means of easily reaching
the police when there was a call came
for him in the night. 1t remained for
Walter Ross to solve it and the plan
was quite simple. He has hung two
red lights in the middle of the street
a block apart. When a call m for
the police, central turns on the light,
which brings the copper at once to
headquarters which are at present
located in DR.. Herman's office and the
phone is answered. 1t will be a great
advantage over the old system of hav-
ing to go out and hunt the officer in
the street. 1t went into operation
Tuesday night.
