A ten-months.od child in the L. P.
Ettesvold family has been quite sick
the past week and Dr.. Fitzgerald
comes out from Morris regularly to
ease the little fellows pains. 1t is
hoped the malady will yield to treat
ment.
St. Valentines day was we'll OBJ
served in Alberta and the mails were
loaded with membranes for friends
and foe alike. The comic picture pre-
dominated this year probably because
times are said to be hard and there is
war in the air.
Icy walks last Saturday caused men
and women to navigate carefully on
the streets and to hug friendly lamp
posts in manner that caused consid-
cradle mirth. George Mcclellan and
Hilman Maanum sustained hard jolts
when they capsized but no serious &C
cidents are reported. Ashes and sand
were sprink!ed over the walks.
At least one local merchant is 60
ing to be very careful in cashing
checks for strangers hereafter. The
other day a we'll known farmer renter
appeared at his store and presented a
check IN the amount of SIS which
was later returned because no funds at
the bank. The offense is a serious
one but in this case will probably
adjusted in manner satisfactory to
both parties concerned.
The card party and social entertain
ment for hubby given by the ladies at
the opera house Monday night was
one of the social successes of the sea-
son. About eighty people enjoy ed
the program. The leading feature
of the evening was progressive cinch
and Mrs. P. H. Foley and Henry
Gorth captured the high scores. The
refreshments served were delicious
and of variety that tickled every
palate. 1t was a night when hubby
was in his glory and several of him
are already talking of getting up an
entertainment for Friend Wife.

PEPPERToN

Frank Bach entertained a number
of the boys at his bachelor quarters
last Monday evening.
Owing to the bad storm last Sunday
there were no services at the German
M. E. church.
The roads were quite bad in some
places last Monday. Mail carrier
Olson thot so when his rig came to a
! dead stop in the deep snow near the
old Will Richard place and it took
him some time to get started again.
Mrs. VIM. Bach and Mrs. Frank
Andert visited with Mrs. John Ortman
at Morris on Tuesday of last week.
On Wednesday evening, Feb. 10, at
the home of the BRIDES parents &C.
Cured the marriage of Miss Audrey
Prichett to Mr.. Ellsworth De Boer
of Fairmont, Ill. The wedding was
very quiet affair only a few friends
being present. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. VIM. Gammelien
after which a dainty supper was
served. Miss Prickett came from
Nebraska with her parents and other
members of the family somewhat over
two years ago and has lived in Pep
perton during that time. Mr.. and
Mrs. De Boer will return to Fair
mont the latter part of the week and
will be at home after March 1st.
A very interesting and enjoyable
social was had at the h1me of the
Misses Carolyn and Sadie Schlattman
last Friday evening. An interesting
and very amusing feature of the even
ing and which was a good test of the
sense of smell was game in which
dozen or so small bottles were in.
troduced each containing a LIQUID of
some sort. They were passed around
one after another and each guest after
smelling of the liquid in the bottle
wrote down on a slip of paper what
he thot it contained. This was more
confusing than one would imagine.
For instance kerosene was taken for
gasoline and one person tho familiar
with the smell of carbolic acid could
not tell what it was and one did not
recognize peppermint.
After having for some time banged
away bravely at tin pans and various
other musical instruments the captain
Of the charivari band last Wednesday
asked to see the bride. But after
having been admitted into the pre-
sence of the fair young bride and the
stern looking groom, the young captain
became very much abashed and forgot
his little speech. After waiting for
some time and seeing that nothing
was to be hoped from their paralyzed
captain the band quickly elected an
other captain who made a short i'm
promptu speech after which they were
treated to wedding cake and cigars.
