Frank Hewes has been visiting in
Dickinson for some days. Since>leav-
ing the city 9 or 10 months ago, he
has been all over the United States
and crossed over into Mexico once

Mr.. and Mrs. L. D. Gray have re-
turned from Oregon and propose to
make Dickinson their permanent
home. This will be good news TO
their many friends in this locality.

grandson, Ernest, VIII ogoes to the
home of relatives in the Oakdale
country for the summer. Mr.. Gray
will re-establish himself in the broom
manufacturing business in Dickinson
He makes n of the finest quality of
brooms on the market and the people
of this part of the state will surely
be loyal to a home product which will
soon be on sale.
Josh Fisher has been busy for some
days looking up the owners of dogs
Mn the city. Heretofore about one
half the people having dogs in their
possession have escaped taxation.
This is unjust, to those who do pay,
and Mr.. Fisher proposes to see that
every person having a dog in his pos
session takes out a license for 1914.
1.-The law says that any person having
IA dog in his possession shall procure
a license. Those who want to do the
right thing will see the city auditor
at. once, providing they have not al
ready done so, and take out a license.
The Evangelical services have been
running full blast the past week at
the Methodist church. Evangelist C.
F. Weigele has been appearing be-

services was a sort of a skirmish, but

ones. The special song books are
winning favsrwiiths The crowds which
are rapidly taking up the new hymns.
Mr.. Weigele has a strong voice and
with the assistance of a good quar-
tette makes the special music a fea-
ture. If you. want to hear a preacher
preach, go and hear Weigele.
Everybody enjoys more than any
thing; else seeing his friends and &C
quaintances before the footlight. That
is why there is always a grand
scramble for good seats when a home
talent play is given. Mr.. Bob which
will be presented at the Opera House,
April "a is a mighty interesting play
to begin with-one of the bright, wit
ty, wholesome kind that leaves a good
taste in the mouth and makes you
feel you have received your moneys
worth. The cast includes the best
dramatic talent Of the city.
