Vernon Center, November 49,
Mrs. Henry Long OF Sterling is help
ing her daughter, Mrs. Fred Elem
ming care for Mrs. Hollenbeck, wht
last week had the misfortune to fal
md break her leg below the hip
considering her great age, forty eigh
years, and the location of the break
makes the case more serious. At bes
there are many painful, restless
weeks ahead of her before she viii
| be able to move and the time passes
| heavily for her. Many cards, letters
etc., are being sent her which help tt
break the monotony of her confine-
ment.
The first number of the lecture
course has come and gone. The enter
tainment given by the Entertainment
trio of the Ithaca Conservatory Con-
cert company was as varied as it was
pleasing Miss Marie Dilworth, VOC
alist, and accompanist, Miss Pear
Besaw, violinist and accompanist and
Frederick Pratt, reader, was alone
the worth of the seasons ticket.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Meixell of Pc
quot, Mimi, are spending several
weeks visiting their mother, broth
ers, Claude and Ed, and sisters, Mrs.
Laura Mead and Mrs. Alice Bates and
their families. 1t is a very happy get
together of the "clans" and
thoroughly enjoyed by the numerous
participants.
Messrs. Homer Miller, Arthur Mat
son and Charles West attended the
Knights of Pythias banquet at Lake
Crystal Tuesday evening as guests
of John McMahon.
Axel Halverson returned from a
visit to the Mayo clinic, Tuesday
evening. The doctors found that Mr..
Halverson's limb, which is the seat of
his trouble, was much better than it
was at his last visit in July. Mrs.
Halverson and son who stopped in
Owatonna to visit friends, returned
also.
Mr.. and Mrs. Millard Busby were
passengers on the noon train last
Saturday to Webster City where on
Sunday they attended the funeral of
Mrs. Froling, an old neighbor and
very dear friend. They returned home
the first of the week.
Worlds Temperance Sunday was
observed last Sunday evening in the
Methodist church with union serv
ices, which were quite largely attend
ed and the program was the most
pleasing one ever given on such an
occasion. Mrs. Eastman read the
CO. ipf,r WI
from the book of Daniel, preceding
the reading she interestingly told the
story of King Johovakim taking Dan
iel, Hanoniali, Mishael and Ozariah to
be trained for service and that they
should be fed with the richest of
viands and the costliest of wines and
how Daniel refused to defile himself
with the Kings meats or the wine and
how he proved in test of ten days
by simple living and with only water
for drink was far ahead of Incorporate
living. This was followed by prayer
by Rev. Koch. The program, "The
Saving of Daddy which consisted of
readings and vocal solos, held the
closest attention of all. Mrs. Leafle
Warren and Mrs Will Rambo gave
the reading of this delightful little
story, interspersed with the following
solos which were appropriate to the
story "If / were Voice" and "The
Battle Song,'' by E. w. Washburn,
"The Temperance Line" by G. M.
Warren, "The Mothers Prayer" and
"Will 1t Pay by Mrs. Robert Fate, all
of which were most beautifully rend-
cred by these three noted soloists.
Collection was taken while the song
Cali Hail the Power of Jesus Name"
was sung by the choir and congrega-
tion The benediction was then given
by Rev. Koch.
Fred Mertersdorf accompanied two
carloads of stock to st. Paul Thurs
day for the Equity people.
Rev. F. M. Rule was the guest a
few days this week of Rev. and Mrs.
Koch. Mr.. Rule, who was worker in
the Methodist churches Of Minnesota
for over thirty years as pastor and
presiding elder of this district, is well
known and greatly loved and remem-
bered throughout the county by the
older inhabitants, is now resident OF
jamestown, ILL.,, where he is connected
with a Methodist college in that city.
Time has dealt kindly with Mr.. Rule,
his splendid physique, his kindly and
benevolent countenance and charm
ing personality make him person
once seen, never to be forgotten, and
was quickly recognized by many of
the villagers who had not seen him
for years. His visit to Minnesota,
where he expects to be for sometime,
is made in the interest of the Ham
line college campaign of raising $780,
900.
Miss Louise Award, who has been
a guest of Mrs. Porters for the past
six weeks, left the first of the week.
Miss Award will spend the winter
months with her three sisters in
Mankato, GAINESVILLE and Barnesville.
1t is rumored that Miss Award will
return to the village in the spring
and occupy her own cosy, modern
residence. 1t is sincerely hoped that
she may decide to do this and become
a permanent resident here again.
Bert Wilson, who is down from
Mawer, Sask., on very important per-
sonal matters, spent few days this
week with his sister, Mrs. c. M. War
