Miss frankie Faul returned to Gil
bert, Iowa, to resume charge of he
school at that place after spending the
Thanksgiving vacation in DenisOn will
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Faul
The board of supervisors were il
session yesterday for the regular De
cember meeting and the day was spen
in allowing claims and paying county
officers. No important business came
up for discussion and the board ad
journed late in the afternoon.
S. P. Jacobsen, the proprietor of the
Denison bakery, has recently erected
a handsome electric sign in front OF
his place of business on Broadway
Mr.. Jacobsen is real live booster for
Denison and is for Denison first, last
and all times, which is exemplified
in the name he has chosen for his up
to-date bakery.
A deal was closed the fore part of
the week whereby Willis Virgins
disposes of his business block in Den
ison to r. H. Wheeler of Manning the
deal being made through J. w. Miller
jr.
We are not advised just what Mr..
Wheeler intends to do with the prop
erty or whether Mr.. Virgins will
lease the ground floor room in which
his new grocery store is located. This
property is very desirable being locat-
ed in the heart of the business district
and at the price which it sold will
doubtless prove to be good invest
ment.
r. A. Norris was adjudged bank
rupt in the federal court at Council
Bluffs on Monday forenoon, as we
notice from the daily papers circulat-
osition by r. j. Kelly is accepted by
the creditors, the case will have to
take its grind through the court. We
regret that this is so as We had hoped
Tie matter could be adjusted and the
business retained here.
A jolly party of relatives and friends
took Thanksgiving dinner with Mr..
and Mrs. T. E. Pearson at the Hotel
Marion. The company consisted of
the families of r. E. Pearson, H. A.
Carpenter, Rev. +. P. Williams, E. L.
Barber and DR.. Townsend Pearson and
wife of Glenwood and Mr.. Waterman,
of Carlsbad, Canada. The elegant
five course dinner was served in a
manner rejecting great credit on the
hotel management.
DR.. l.. NJ. Coon and Lou Romans re-
turned last Friday from Battle Creek,
Mich, where they have been for the
past few weeks at the sanitarium. DR..
Coon informs us that Mr. r. A. Romans
of Aberdeen, S. D., was operated on
at Battle Creek the fore part of last
week for adhesions in the abdomen,
and that the operation was most sue
cessful. Mr.. Romans has been suffer-
ing from stomach trouble for some
time and his many friends here are
in hopes that the operation vii. be the
means of his regaining his health.
The community will be surprised to
hear that Mrs. Helen NJ. Smell was op-
Grated upon on Monday night for a
malignant growth on her breast, which |
she recently discovered. Not until
three weeks ago had she the least sus-
picion that she was the victim OF such
1 trouble, but upon consulting sur
seons she was advised that it was of
sufficient Importance to warrant an
operation. The operation performed
IS said to have been successful and
The most fattering hopes are enter
short time.
The Knights of Pythias held their
'egular election of officers in their |
odge rooms Monday evening and at

hat there are twelve schools in the
county that are not supplied with
eachers for the winter term, which
'egan December 1st. A special exam
nation was held on Monday and Tues
lay of last week and it was hoped the
'acancies in the county would be
lied. Only six took the examination
nd only two received passing grades,

ieved. Superintendent Olry says that
he same condition prevails through
ut western Iowa and he has received
many inquiries for teachers from 9TH
