lsnery business hsre the last three
or four years. The groom is employ
ed in the Friis Meat Market at Kim
ballton. He has leased a new house
a couple of blocks south of the

The Elkhorn folks are sincere
well-wishers of the young couple
as they embark on the long journey
of life, and may it have as much
sunshine and as little shadow as is
necessary to make life pleasant and

SAD AFFuCT|ON OF
I MRS. NELS CHRISTENSEN

We learn with much regret that
Mrs. Nels Christensen of Cameron
township suffered a stroke of par
alysis a few days ago that appears
to affect her entire right side. 1t
is consoling to know however that
the stroke was not hard one and
is promptly responding to, treat
ment.
All her life Mrs. Christensen has
been an active energetic woman, e.
yer alert to the up-building of her
home and the improvement of her
neighborhood.
Being a great church worker her
influence in her community was
ever for good, and her voice in the
conferences of the VI. E. Church al
ways commanded the respect which
| it deserves.
Since 1875, Mrs. Christensen has
been a fixture on the farm they
now occupy, with the exception OF
a few years rest in Omaha.
| She has seen tha transformation
OF the pretty prairie into waving
fields OF grain, and she did her
share to transform it.
Let us hope that her recovery
may be permanent and that her
years of happy life may be many
and free from pain and embarrass-
ment.

Congratulations for Brownsville :
Our city deserves TO be congratulated.

Is a great step forward for the city.
With the adoption of a modern char

form of the commission plan, Browns
Vile may date her rebuilding. With the
brilliant future which Brownsville I'M
doubleday has ahead of her, it only
needs a charter of this kind 10 make
y Of the most conspicous examples
Of progressive and successful munich

1t only remains now for the COM
mittee of citizens selected at Saturday
election TO draft a charter cmbodyinr
the best features Of the commission
form. and submit the same for adop-
ton. The personnel of the committee OF
citizens selected for this highly i'm
portant task gives assurance that their
work will be- well and conscientiously
done. Let rs hope that there may BE- no
delay IN carrying ont the work.
