berly News Notes.

i y -hlmDeTlN was WlQt
awake with excitement and also in the
full sense of the term Monday night
when a large company of suspicious
looking characters doomed up, as IL |
were from no place in particular, and |
made themselves conspicuous on the !
streets. Where they came from no
one knew, nor where they went about |
two hours later. They disappeared as
they came mysteriously and quietly, |
probably satisfied that they were not
welcome even though some thirty odd
husky farmers gathered in the course
of twenty or thirty minutes to greet
them. The word of their presence in
the vicinity was scattered by phone
and automobile to the farms about
Kimberly and night guards were put
on the job of patrolling the sections
Kimberly's new night man took care
of the town. Nothing further came of
the excitement.
Kimberly is soon to be paved city.
Aside from nearly all of Main street
being adorned with new paved walks
and crossings, over a half mile of
sidewalk has been constructed in the
resident districts. Plans are now un-
der way to grade Main street from
curb to curb next fall along the en-
tire length of the street. This grad
ing will be done with a view to paving
the street in the future.
