G. L. Mowery spent several days
at Chokio the first of the week and
during his absence George Mcclellan
had charge of the pool hall. The old
place seemed familiar with George
back of the soft drink dispensary but
the sight Of him racking up the balls
was a novelty.
William Baker made a trip to Nor
ris Monday and left some of his
money with the county treasurer in
payment of his taxes. He was &C
companied by Mrs. Baker and the
children who improved the time by
calling on friends and incidentally at
tended to some early spring shopping.
Miss Anna Braun was agreeably

young friends who remembered her

Alberta but has large circle of
friends which is steadily growing.

now Alberta has two vigorous secret
societies which promise rapid growth.

many years. At near future meet

be taken on at which time there will
be something of "blowout."
Guy Stewart gave the Tribune man
the mazuma Monday morning which
advances his subscription for another
year. Guy sold his elevator here a
short time ago but has not decided up
on his future undertakings. 1t is pos

tion when the warm days approach
and he can get about more conven-

pointed in the removal of Mr.. Stewart
and his family for they are prominent
in business and social affairs.
