Married Fifty Years
Mr.. and Mrs. Ole D. Paulson
Celebrate Happy Event.

Surrounded by a group of low
ing relatives and friends to the
number of about 40, Mr.. and
Mrs. D. Paulson celebrated their
golden wedding last Sunday
afternoon at the home of their
daughter, Mrs. Hans L. Stavig.
A most DELIGHTFUL time was en-.
joyed, including sumptuous
dinner at about two O'Clock. Rev.
K. N. Rude made some appro-
pirate remarks and happy pre-
sentation speech in rendering a
purse of gold to the bride and
groom in the name of the doners.
This worthy couple was mar
ried away back across the sea on
Oct. 9Th, 1868. The bride was
Miss Bertha Erickson, and the
wedding took place at Hadland,
Norway, where both bride and
groom were born. After being
married about Is years Mr.. and
Mrs. Paulson came to America,
the land of plenty. They located
in Lac qui Parl county, Mimi,
where they lived for about 10
years, when they came to Day
county, this state. There they
remained until eight years ago,
at which time they came to this
city to be near their daughter.
They have two other daughters,
Mrs. Andrew Johnstad of One
Road and Mrs. Carrie Martinson
of Herried; also one son. Peter O.
Paulson of One Road; Is grand.
children and two great-gr and
children. Mr.. Paulson is II
years of age and his wife is 7S.
Both are in fairly good health
for people of their age, and it is
the wish Of their many good
friends that they may have
many more years together in the
journey of life.

A Redfield Comment.

The Redtield correspondent of
the Minneapolis Journal says the
prediction is being freely made
that if the fight for governor is
between Richards and Byrne,
that Richards will beat the gov
ernor. The correspondent says
that Governor Byrne is criticised
on the ground that his appoint.
ments are not strong as a rule
and that he is overbearing and
takes his position too seriously. "
And the correspondent adds
His interview against the get-to-
gether meeting at Sioux Falls
turned some republicans against
him for it was felt that it was
Within his power to cement the
party and win a second term for
himself without trouble. His
critics say he sinned away a
great opportunity" The trouble
was of course that Crawford
and Byrne both figured that
their best interests lay in divid
ed party. and that if the repub-
licans should ever be reunited.
they would look to different
class of men for leaders. The
fact that Crawford and Byrne
both came out in the same vein
practically simultaneously would
Indicate pretty clear under
standing between them.
An effort is just now being
made to give out the impression
that Governor Byrne is not
friendly to Crawford. This is to
be taken with grain of salt.
Mr.. Byrne has always supported
Crawford when Crawford needed
him and he will do the same
thing in the coming primaries.
The governor may find it good
politics to have the impression
go out that he is not friendly to
the unpopular Crawford but this
will not fool those who follow
politics closely. Mr.. Byrne is a
very cold blooded and a very
selfish man and he is never for
anybody very strong, except
himself, but he may be depended
on to give Mr.. Crawford as
cordial support as he ever gives
anybody.-Argus Leader.

Circuit Court Affirmed
Exploding False Charges by Jor'
geuson Against Sissetonians.

In October, 1911, G. r. Jorgen-
son acting as attorney for An
drew Johnson, brought two suits
in the circuit court, one against
Nels K. Olberg, and the other
against Nels K. Olberg and Henry
S. Morris, for the purpose of re-
covering back something like
$4,000, which johnson had paid to
Olberg and Morris as part OF the
purchase price of half section
of land in this county,
Mr., Jorgenson with his char
acteristic modesty claimed at the
time the defendants, who are
reputable business men of the
city, had made a very coarse at
tempt to rob and defraud john
son out of the money that he had
paid on these contracts by after
wards and without the consent
of Johnson selling the land to the
Union Investment Company Of
Minneapolis, and that Jorgenson
proposed to renew the thrilling
drama Of St. George and the
dragon in his usual able and
fearless manner.
When the case came on for
trial before Judge McNulty at
the December, 1911, term of
court, the evidence showed that
Olberg, one of the defendants,
had borrowed some money of the
Union Investment Company on
the contract and notes which had
been given by Johnson, and that
in order to make the assignment
of his rights executed a deed to
the Union Investment Company,
which almost any lawyer or bus
mess man would understand
would really constitute mort
gage and not conveyance of the
title to the land. 1t was also
shown at the trial that upon Mr..
Jorgenson writing a letter to the
Union Investment Company with
reference to this matter, that they
told him that they had taken the
deed simply for the purpose of
security and in order to make
the collateral available and did so
with full knowledge of Johnson S
rights and that they would be
very glad to have Mr.. Johnson
make the payments due on the
contract and they would see to it
that he secured good title to the
land.
Upon decision of Judge Nc
Nulty against Johnson, Mr.. Jor-
genson took an appeal to the
supreme court and Mr.. Morris
received word this week from
Pierre that Judge McNulty's de-

WE Will Be ENTERTAINED
Sisseton School Plans Good Time for the
Public this Winter.

In accordance with the custom
of the last few years, the Sisse-
ton high school has again un-
dertaken to arrange for a num-
Der of entertainments during the
winter season. Such an under
taking should be regarded as a
public enterprise and should
have the combined support of
every citizen of our city. Prac-
tically everyone in town recogniz-
es the value of Iyceum Course,
but few people are willing to go
to the bother of arranging for
the talent, seing that the course
is properly advertised and
handled and above all, guarantee
that it shall be financial success.
1t then someone is willing to
take that trouble off your hands,
you, the people of Sisseton, ought
to be willing to patronize such an
enterprise. Every person needs
a chance for recreation and en-
joyment, and in a town like Sis
seton there is not any too much
opportunity for the enjoyment of
a pure, wholesome, educational
entertainment. The Lyceum
Course that has been provided
this season offers you such a
treat, and it offers you a treat
, along different lines. We have
tried to arrange course which
is we'll balanced and which vet
offers variety for all tastes;
though none of it will hurt any.
one. The course consists of two
musicals, two lectures, car
toonist and impersonator, and a
magician; six big numbers in all.
A description of the numbers
and their dates will be given be-
low:
The first number on the course
is the Rounds Ladies' Orchestra.
with Herbert o. Rounds as
manager. This number is with
out question, the best number on
the course, and is also the most
expensive. [ think | can safely
say that it is the best musical en-
tertainmens that ever appeared
in Sisseton, and if you miss this
number you will miss rare Cd.
portunity to hear something of
note. The Rounds Ladies' Or.
chestra are known all over the
United States, and have ap-
peared several times in South
Dakota. They have appeared at
the Big Stone City Chautauqua
and whoever has heard them
there will recommend them most
highly. This fall they were one
of the chief musical attractions
at the South Dakota State Fair
at Huron. Mr.. Rounds who is
the manager Of the company, is
an eminent baritone and enter
tainer, while Flora Sprague
Rounds, the director, is Ameri-
cas- greatest lady bell soloist.
This is not a Few company but
they are seasoned in the school
of experience; have diplomas
from hundreds of satisfied audi.
ences and are versatile organi-
zation. Their programs are
classy, standard and popular, and
they have one thousand pieces in
their repertoire; they give vocal
solos, duets, quartettes, instru
mental solos, readings, imper.
sonations and monologues, be.
sides the regular orchestra
numbers. Now the regular price
of a single admission to this en-
tertainment is seventy.f five cents
$3.50, about one third the price
of season ticket. Buy your
season tickets before the first
number and get to attend the six
numbers for the price of three.
The second number on the
course is lecture by Harold
Morton Kramey, famous Novelist

Lecturer. The story of his life
is full of red -blooded events AS
thrilling and interesting as any
page torn from any of his books.
He has been a cowboy, reporter,
editor of city newspaper, officer
in the Spanish war, and a
writer. His pen, his unyielding
fight for better things in city
government, and his speeches
embodying his life's philosophy
sent him to the platform where
he has shared honors with some
, of the country's best known
! orators. Hear him in his lecture
Rags and Rainbows," Nov. 19.
On December 19, get ready to
laugh, Perry Carter is coming to
town. Mr.. Carter is the popular
cartoonist of the Minneapolis
Tribune, and will give an eve
ning's entertainment telling
stories in pictures and in words.
His years of varied experience
as a newspaper man have furn-
lshed him with a wealth of rich
material for his programs. The
originality of his work is always
striking. He impersonates the
characters of his stories. An
entertainment by Carter is like
fascinating story, now humor-
Gus, now serious, it's presenta-
; tion embracing the art of the
artist, the poet, the story teller
and the actor, with great
honest smile for the background
of it all.
