The Ladies Aid of the Methodist
church met Wednesday at the home OF
Mrs. Fred Sleight. A large attend
ance is reported due to the fact that
| it was the first time the aid has been
entertained in the country this spring
and also on account of maturing The
plans for the pure food exhibit, which
takes place next Wednesday.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. E. Serr and son, of
Prussia, Canada, were in town last
week for short visit at the home of
]. M. Ser. The two brothers had not
seen each other for some time and
greatly enjoyed renewing old acquain-
tances. While away from his Cana
dian home, Mr.. Serr also spent some
time with his parents at Quincy.
It was a case Of killing the fatted
goose when Joseph Roehl arrived home
from Montana and no fatted calf. The
neighbors were of the opinion that if
he hadn't come back it would have
been necessary to send him ticket,
as it surely disturbed their beauty
sleep to have the old goose announcing
the break Of day at all hours of the
early morning.
It would seem that business has
taken an upward trend when at least
two business places are being reno
voted this week and improvements put
in. Perry Willoughby, Of the Rich
land Advocate, is having his Office and
pressroom cleaned, kalsomined and
painted thruout, the work being done
by II. L. Anthony. When this over
hauling is completed Mr.. Willoughby
expects to put in a complete line OF
stationery and will also fix up writ
ing room which will be at the disposal
Of the ranchers and general public.
This is a much needed innovation as
it will give the farmers place in
which to write letters while in town,
to meet business friends without the
necessity Of going into the local stores
where there is always more or less OF
a crowd.

Miscellaneous Shower,

"A miscellaneous shower we en-
joyed last evening at the home of
Charles Byers on Third street in
honor of Mrs. John Cope of On
ava, when fifteen young ladies
arrived and took possession of
the house. A hair braiding con-
test was enjoyed and eleven
braids was the limit, after which
a mock marriage took place, Miss
Mablc Rosenbaum acting as the
bride, while Miss Idabel Briggs
made a splendid groom, each
being we'll dressed for the Occa-
sion. The young ladies who of
ficiated as preacher and other of
ficials carried out their part of
tho program to perfection and
were also dressed up" Con-
gratulations over music was the
next on the program. after which
miscellaneous shower was
given, at which time the bride
was presented with many and
useful gifts. AT $50 the guests
left for the depot to meet the
groom. That young man thought
at first he was to be carried away
by band of desperadoes, but
after a short spell of bashfulness
he responded to the tempters,
who all greeted him like a
brother. The crowd again gath
cred at the Byers home and after
another jolly hour departed for
bunk party at the Hoover
home on Fourth street, where
after many hours of talking and
laughter they finally did go to
sleep.
This morning the merry crowd
lphOned to the Byers home to see
why the newly-weds did not come
to the elegant breakfast that
was awaiting them and after re-
ceiving a response in the mega
tive to their invitation they later
surprised them by showing up at
the Byers home in their kitchen
aprons and started another round
of pleasure, which lasted until
nearly noon, when they left the
happy couple in peace.

hardly able to move this morn

enough, but in some manner the

an engineer with a run out of the
