l.. j. ANDERSON DEAD.
Well Known DEBORAH Horseman
Passed Away Friday Morning.

The many friends of L. ]. Ander'
son, the well known DEBORAH horse.
man were grieved to hear of his
death Friday morning. He been all
ing for several days and had been
under a doctors care at his rooms
over the Knorr harness shop. Mr..
Anderson was taking medicine pre-
scribed by the doctor, and it is pre-
sumed that he got up to get his
medicine, when he fell and passed
away before aid could reach him,
heart disease being the direct cause
of his death.
Louis j. Anderson was born June
3, 1868, in Allamakee county, Iowa,
on the farm owned by his father,
taken up from the government. His
parents were John c. and Mary An
derson, being pioneers of this state.
There he grew to young manhood
and mingled with the boys of the
neighborhood and was one of them.
At the age of seventeen he went
out into the world to see what the
world had in store for him, visiting
several of the western states, also
going to Australia twice. For a
number of years he lived in Califor-
mia, being in business there, re-
turning to his home after eight
years.
Shortly after his mothers death
in 1890, his father sold the home
farm and the family moved to Wau-
ken. Shortly afterwards Louis came
to DEBORAH, where his home had
been for about twenty years. Dur
ing his sickness friends and near
relatives did not realize or learn of
his condition, as he was no hand TO
or tell others his troubles. |
During the years of his residence |
in DEBORAH he conducted a feed sta

THE HORTICULTURAL PICNIC.
Held Sunday at the John Harter
Home i'm DEBORAH.

The annual picnic of the Winnie
shiek county Horticultural Society
was held Sunday, July 4, at the
home of John Harter in this city
About seventy members and invited
guests were present, and the incle-
ment weather kept many more from
attending.
The first on the program was a
picnic dinner on the lawn at one D.
m. 1t goes without saying that
there were many good things to eat
on the menu.
In the absence of President E. w.
Cutting and Secretary o. o. Lomen,
Mr.. L. L. Caldwell was appointed to
fill both offices pro tenn, which he
did very dreditably. Mr.. Cutting
was obliged to absent himself from
the meeting owing to conducting an
Odd Fellows funeral service that
afternoon. Mr.. Lomen has been i'll
all spring.
The invocation was given by DR..
Lakeland and the address of well
come by Supt. H. E. Miller. Atty. E.
j. Hook responded in a pleasing
manner to the address of welcome.
The next on the program was
pleasing vocal selection by a qua1-
tette, and then Mr.. Harter gave
history of the everlasting straw
berries; also spoke about the neces-
sity of spraying to raise good clean
fruit. Mr.. Harter also favored the
audience with several fine piano Sc
lections.
Senator L. NJ. Enger was next on
the program and gave a short talk

Walk On 1t.

People passing the Willis & Ness
furniture store for the past week
have observed a piece of linoleum
4 @x6 feet square laying on the &C.

Some passed around it, while others
walked on it. That's what it is
there for, to walk on, just to dem
onstrate it's good wearing qualities.
1t is something new in linoleum and
is said to be non-destructible. At
any rate it will certainly get a good
tryout to demonstrate its quality.

ton was given it has remained on
the walks for months with hundreds
of people walking over it daily, and
still didn't show very much wear.

A GOOD BAND.
And What it Means to a Town. Ey.
erybOdy Should Uphold the
Band.

Once in a while we hear a fellow
carelessly say: What good is a band
to town, anyway" Well, first take
an inventory of the fellow who
made the remark. You may have rea-
son to allow the silly question to go
unanswered. But, regarding the re-
mark more seriously, let us say that
a good up'to-date band is one of
the most useful things a town or
community can possess. 1t is one
OF the best advertisements a town
can have. A good band has mark
ed the location on the map for many
town. Emerson says something
about the world making a beaten
path. Well, good band will make
the roads leading to the town
beaten paths, even though the towns
other attractions be not numerous.
Every merchant is benefited by a
good band, especially a concert
band. Hundreds of people come to
town to attend the delightful enter
tainments and they combine shop
ping with this pleasure. The pro-
motors of business and municipal en-
terprises always have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that their civic dem
onstrations from time to time will
be successful, because they have a
first class band to lead the way and
attract the people. The churches
are provided with orchestras and
special musical numbers on ami
versarys and other occasions The
social functions of community are
more satisfactory and decidedly more
pleasure because musicians equal to
any occasion are just close by. A
band composed of able players-like
many bands in the state-is a tower
of strength to any town or section
of the country. 1t cultivates the pub
lie ear to high class of music, and
does it right at your own door, too.
Every enterpriseing citizen will
boost the band OF his town where
ever he goes"
