The New County History.

Announcement was made in these
columns several weeks ago of the
proposed new history of Winneshiek
county. Messrs. F. l.. Hislop and f.
NJ. Armstrong are now engaged in col
lecting the data for the second or BIZ
ographical volume and taking orders
for the work, which will consist of
two volumes, one strictly historical in
character and the other containing BIZ
ographical sketches of residents of
the county. The compiling of the first
volume will be in charge of Mr.. E. c..
Bailey. His entire life has been spent
in this county in newspaper work,
and the two former histories of the
county were written for the most part
by his father, so that he is the logical
man to extend the work at present.
AS advisory board j. B. Wist, Prof.
c. K. Preus, Ben Bear, H. j. Green,
Fred Biermann, l.. B. Whitney and
DR.. p. NJ. Jewell of DEBORAH and G. A.
Meyer have been asked to assist him.
The work will be amply illustrated
and will be a complete historical and
biographical history of the county. 1t
VIII be a valuable addition to every
home

ice. w. r. Shea is now county audi

becomes county superintendent, sue
ceeding Prof. Sigurd Rogue, and will
have Miss Karen Brandt as his as
sistant. C. N. Houck succeeds N. Will
Willett as county attorney. Alvin
Pfster of Locust is the only new SUI
pervisor, the terms of j. s. Williams
and j. P. Kuhn beginning Jan. /,

Injuries Received at Fires.

During the fire which destroyed
Mrs. Paul Larsen's residence Friday
night, George Hislop received a pain
full injury. The Hook and Ladder
truck was being rushed to the fire,
pulled by Barth's automobile, and
when the latter was cautioned to slow
up and did so suddenly, Jim" stuck
his finger in the way as sort of
shock absorber when the ladder truck
tongue collided with the auto and it
was so badly mashed that he has been
carrying it about in a sling since. w.
j. Hogan also received a black eye
while helping to carry out the furni-
ture.
Sunday morning after the fire on
Water street, P. c. Bloomfield STUN
bled over one of the hose lines and
fell to the pavement, being badly
stunned for a moment, and receiving
black eye and bruised face.

THE OLD AND THE NEW.

Tomorrow never comes, they say,
And yet a year is day,
AS we shall know tomorrow.
Tonight the old year goes to rest,
His thin hands folded on his breast,
His withered lips together pressed,
And with him goes his sorrow.
Tonight, ere gray the morning grows,
An infant, still in swaddling clothes,
Will come to earth to greet us.
The bells will clamor at the gate,
Will shout aloud: You're late.
You're late!"
Within his hands he holds our fate,
Yet, laughing, comes to meet us.
An old year goes; new year comes
The sound of bells and muffled drums
Are ever close together.
The borderland 'twixt life and death
Is but a step across the heath.
One spans it in a single breath
Be dark or bright the weather.
Tonight the old year folds his wings
Lies down to sleep among the kings
That wait across the river.
To nineteen twelve we say "Gooby!'
To nineteen thirteen, drawing nigh,
For mercy we may vainly cry
And time goes on forever.

SOME EARLY BOOKINGS.
Three of the Highest Glass PrOduc-
lions of the Kind Coming to
DEBORAH This Season.

Opportunity will be given during
the next few weeks to see some more
mighty fine theatrical productions at
the Grand. The managers have been
presenting some splendid companies
this season, but the best are yet to
come Among them are the famous
Aborn Opera Company in THE Be-
hemian Girl" which comes here in
March in their own special train from
a week at the Shubert Theatre, Min
neapolis. This company is unques-
tionably the highest class opera COM
pany touring the country, and we are
venturing the guess that DEBORAH
will be much the smallest city it has
ever appeared in. 1t is a magnificent
production that will be seen here.
1t has been some time since we
have had high class colored organ
ization in DEBORAH, and the engage
ment of The Sunny South" with
twenty-five of the best colored artists
travelling, will be popular one. This
is also the best company of its class
on the road, and will no doubt give
good satisfaction here. The date is
Feb. 14th.
Another great production that has
been booked is THE Modern Eve"
one of the most spectacular theatri-
cal offerings of modern times. 1t has
been a difficult matter to book it for
DEBORAH, but the management have
succeeded in getting them for the lat
ter part of the season. There is no
more popular production en- tour than
"A Modern Eve"

A Busy Place.

The egg and poultry house of VOL
dunn Bros has been very busy place
previous to the holidays, in the poul-
try line. In five days before Christ
mas John Woldum and Hans Hanson
packed and handled 10000 pounds
of dressed poultry, packing. over TO-
900 pounds in two days. During the
season they have shipped over 2OO,-
900 pounds of poultry, all of which
is graded by weights and shipped to
Buffalo, N. Y, where the eggs, in
which they do an enormous business,
also go. On the Saturday before
Christmas they had over 5000 live
birds on hand, and on Monday dres-
sed over 1900 This gives some idea
of the big business done by this con-
Germ in the poultry line, which is only
a side line to their egg BUSINESS.

j. A. Ross Laid in the Tomb.

The respect in which the late
Joseph a. Ross was held was mani
tested on Sunday at the obsequies of
this good citizen-the funeral was
among the most largely attended
ever held in the village of Princeton.
The remains were conveyed from the
home of Mr.. S. Peterson, where Mr..
Ross passed away, to the Congrega-
tlonal church, and there the solemn
funeral rites were observed, Rev.
Fisher preaching very appropriate
sermon and paying high tribute to
the worth Of the deceased. A quar-
tet added to the impressiveness OF
the service by rendering several
beautiful vocal selections. Floral
tributes in great profusion, including
emblematic wreaths from the G.. "A.
f., Masons, and Odd Fellows, were
laid upon the bier. The funeral pro-
cession to Oak Knoll was many
blocks in length and was headed by
the members of Wallace T. Rines
post, No. l42. Next came the Odd
Fellows and then the Masons, the
obsequies being under the direction
OF the latter. At the grave the
ritualistic solemnities of the Odd
Fellows and the Masons were per-
formed and all that was mortal of
our good old citizen and friend was
laid to rest.

Tuesday evening from Willmar,
where he arrested Chris. Larson of
Long Siding for attempting to con-
vey mortgaged property from the
state. The Princeton State bank
caused the detention of Larson's car

due the bank, for which it held a
chattel mortgage on cattle, horses
ana machinery contained in said car
at Willmar. The car was billed from
Mllaca to Aberdeen, S. D. This
should prove a lesson to others at
tempting like performance.
