Mr.. and Mrs. p. E. Flodine OF Dow
City were Denison visitors on Sat
urday. Mr.. Flodine mas sold his farm
one mile east of Dow City, and ex
poets to move to California. Mrs
Flodine's health is much better in
the California climte, which is the
main reason for removing from Iowa
About twenty couples of the younger
set gathered at the Hotel Denison
Thursday evening of last week, and
enjoyed a private masquerade ball
The music was furnished by Barborka
on the harp, and also on the violin
accompanied by Miss Hazel Ransom
The costumes were very comical and
caused much merriment. About ten
o'clock the masks were taken Oft and
| dancing was continued until about
| twelve o'clock. All report a fine time.
| Chris Lorenzen returned last week
from Joplin, Mo-, where he has been
for the past two months looking after
the interests of wholesale drug COM
pany of which he was in charge. Chris
has not decided what line of work he
will pursue in the future and at pres
ent is taking much needed rest We
trust that he may find an opening
in Denison as we would regret the
loss of this estimable young man and
his family from our community.
Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Lister who
have been visiting at the Tom Lister
home in Denison left last week for
Spencer, Neb. where he will have
charge of the Chicago and Northwest
ern station. Spencer is town of
1900 inhabitants and the promotion
to this position means considerable
to Spencer as it means a considerable
increase in salary with two
or three men under him. Mrs. Thos.
Lister accompanied them as far as
Omaha returning home Thursday.
The city council at Sac City are
taking up with earnes.Ness the prop
osition of paving eleven blocks in
the business section OF that city as
we'll as several outlaying blocks. The
Sac City Sun is commenting on the
action taken by the council and pre-
diets that the resolution of necessity
will pass and that the streets in ques-
ton will be paved next summer. Den
ison should not allow her neighboring
towns to outclass her in improvements
of this nature.
The council of Sac City has taken
final steps to pave streets in the bust
ness portion of the city next season.
Paving has been delayed for year in
Sac City because of the several stages
of contest such an undertaking must
undergo in every town. Now, how
ever the work will be contracted for
and go ahead without further inter-
ruption. The people will never regret
the decision of the council and with
paving that beautiful little city will
be in a class by itself.-Carroll Her

Mr.. and Mrs. Milton McAhren are
at Rochester MINI. where Mrs. Nc
Ahren underwent an operation the
fore part of last week. Mrs. Lane
Goodwin of Sioux City will go to Sioux
City to take care of little Elizabeth
while her mother is confined to the
hospital We are pleased to report
that the operation was successful and
every indication points to a speedy
recovery. Milton will remain at Ro-
chester several days longer before re-
turning to Des Moines to resume his
work with the wholesale shoe COM
pany.
Banker Fishel was up from Dow
City Thursday calling on friends.
While here he made the Review Office
a pleasant call and informs us that
the citizens OF Dow City have raised
money to meet the expense Of paint
ing the Lincoln highway signs on the
route through Dow City and for con-
siderable distance in each direction.
There seems to be more real enthus
iasm in Dow City over the Lincoln
highway than we have here in Den
taken to mark the highway in this
vicinity, and not a single sign is in
evidence.
The Northwestern railway finished
the work of installing the danger bells
at the sand pit crossing west of the
city and at the Conyne crossing east
of town on Wednesday last. These
bells are automatic and will warn
travellers of approaching trains from
either direction in ample time so that
there will be no danger of an accident
if people will only Ned the danger
signal. The signals have been install
ed at considerable expense on the part
of the Northwestern but no doubt it
will prove to be money we'll invested
and will be the means of averting fu-
ture damage suits.
Mr.. Ed. Nelson has been busy the
past week moving his stock of harness
from the old harness shop into his new
building which has just been complet-
ed While Mr.. Nelson has not arrang-
ed everything to suit his taste as yet,
he will be pleased to have his friends
call and inspect his new quarters.
This new brick block is a decided i'm
provement in the business district
and Mr.. Nelson is to be congratulated
upon his public spiritedness in build
ing up the city. The entire ground
floor will be occupied by the harness
shop and we understand that the upper
floor has been rented by Clement J.
Welsh, our new lawyer.
Miss Eunice Dobson was down from
Deloit last Wednesday and returned
home with the five passenger Ford
