an unusual party one day last week

Looyensa, Westfield residents and
Overland Telephone Company Of
ficials, were in Linton Monday on
/ business Tor their company. While
here they ordered new call.sheets
for their subscribers, and the same
shows nice increase in the list.
| GzUrpe Naramore was down from
Braddock Tuesday night. He had
a well.defined bunch Of trouble on
the way. Several miles northwest
of Linton the rear axle of his auto
mobile broke and ne was forced tn
leave the car and come to town for
help. Thee. Bremen went lack
with him and hauled the disabled
car to town.
One day this week the local post
office mailed seventeen sacks of par
cel-post packages. The Christmas
season has kept Uncle Sans postal
department jumping and ii will not
be surprising should many packages
be somewhat delayed in transit. 1t
would seem 10 be almost super
human task for any organization to
handle the extra amount of work
which is being thrust upon them by
the Christmas rush of packages
Here it is Christmas-and we
haven't had any wint .r yet. Of
course, we may have some before
spring, but we have done pretty
we'll considering that east. west ard
south of US the people have suf-
fered. Colorado has had two ter.
rible billiards.. The East, too, has
had its troubles. Texas had two
fierce floods and cold weather. The
i Dakotas have pursued the even ten
or of their way without interrupt
ton. This week is as nice as the
others. A little cold, but clear.
i The Record has received report
to the effect that Frank Has died
recently at the home of his parents
at Glendale, this state, Of typhoid
4. fever. We have heard no further
particulars. A couple of weeks ago
/ he was taken home from Hankinson,
IN. D., where he was located, and
was then in serious condition.
i Frank was at one time engaged in
!; the lumber business in Linton and
was we'll known. There will he
much sympathy for his widow, Frank
having been married only a few
months ago.
Linton churches remembered the
!. young folks on Christmas Eve with
a tree and appropriate entertain
ment. Owing to the fact that the
Record was to go to press a little
early this week to allow the Record
!: force to watch for Santa Claus, we
are unable to give any extended re-
'.|port of the church doings. However.
1--we will be gladto give a reasonable
|amount of space to each church
|Inext week whose pastor will furnish
us with the facts concerning the
, programs.
There is stray pocket-book-
and alI--in the Record office. Some
one evidentl, came in topay bill
: with a well-defined idea that it was
J, a custom of the printers TO take all
he had before calling it square. AS
a result he most likely dropped his
wallet and went away without wait.
: ing for change. Now, If such an
Unusual thing had happened to
brothers Colburn at Hazeltun. OF
Mccormick at Braddock, we should
1 expect the matter to be closed in,
cident. But with US it is different
We believe that we are an exempli-
: Efication of MISUNDERSTANDING
newspaper men closely akin t.
: angels. We certainly wouldn' keeI
the wallet and say nothing about it
