A wrestling match was one of the
excitements in our neighborhood last
week, the home boys coming out VIC

why such sport was practised. He
said the young men were training for
the fall campaign for hand shaking,
as the numerous candidates will
make the rounds with friendly greet

Dakota arrived in town last week
bringing three car loads Of horses
and household goods with them.

glad indeed to welcome these people
back into our part Of the state.
We feel that the only way they could
have bettered themselves by the

Kandiyohi County instead Of Meek
er County. Mrs. Carders will be re-
membered as Miss leila Williams,
daughter of George Williams, who
