Rev. J. G.. Dickey is interesting
himself in behalf of the family of a
brother minister in a nearby town
which is especially deserving. The
minister was taken sick some time ago
and upon examination his trouble was
found to be tuberculosis and the
family, wife and five children, are
left without support other than aid
given them. The minister was sent
to Dunseth for treatment and the
family is being cared for by the
Congregational church and others.
The local Congregational church will
present the case and take up the
matter next Sunday evening and Rev.
Dickey would be glad if as many as
possible would take a personal inter-
est in the case.
The Methodist ladies have just
reason to be proud of their annual
fair which they held in the armory
on Tuesday afternoon and evening:
The unique display Of dainty hand
made articles was arranged in three
booths at the east end Of the hall,
the one farthest over being in charge
of the Standard Bearer girls. This
booth was prettily decorated in Jap
anese fashion, with lanterns, etc. The
girls were gowned in kimonas, to
accord with the general scheme.
Three long tables were arranged in
the front end, where a most appetiz-
ing supper was served to hundreds of
people. The dainty handkerchief
which Mrs. Woodrow Wilson donated
to the Standard Bearer girls for their
booth, was purchased by w. L. Rich
ards for the sum of $500. The ladies
figured that $3.50 would probably be
the amount cleared from their supper
and sale.
