However fond one may be oi
walking in the country, = definite
object provides an added pleasure
1t may be curiosity as to how
eighty-year-old Mr.. Preso and his
wonderful collie are getting on up
on Shutesbury Road. 1t may be the
desire for a snapshot OF the lallS
in Amathyst Brook. Or il may be
the need for branch OF mountaln-
laurel to hang in the old powder
horn over the fireplace. To me
at least, a country walk has con
siderable OF an added charm when
go somewhere and back.
Such an objective point was furn-
ished us one Sunday last Autumn

called the old Randall Place, and

old lilac bushes guarding the door

is an ancient private burying-

measure, fancy, for the ghostly
character attributed to the old
house.
1t was once the home Of per
sons in comfortable circumstance,
that is evdent-a relic of days
when greater prosperity dwelt il
our hills. A hint OF modelling after
the caves testifies to sense OF re

with all its gray weather-beatet
grimness, exhibits that grace o.

formist stability that distinguish
many old New England farmhouscS

The interior architecture we dis
covered to be peculiar fashioned no
doubt from the personal needs OF
the builder, and not according to
any established rule. In the cNteu-

cellar stair, cleyerly concealed, and
two rooms, each with a fireplace.
In the main portion OF the house
there is square entrance hall with
an extraordinary enclosed winding
staircase leading to the floor above,

enter the front door, is the old

many a wedding and funeral, with
chaste, white painted woodwork.

winter in the fiat over the Citizens
Bank. The following account of the
wedding is taken from the Spring
Valley Mercury:
A quiet home wedding took place
at the home of Mr.. Theodore Raabe,
on New Years Day, at high noon,
when his daughter, Laura, was unit
ed in matrimony to Mr.. Harry J.
Quigley, Of Morris, Minnesota; Rev.
Spencer Baker, of Rossville, Illinois,
performing the ceremony.
Miss Lillian Raabe sang Gertrude
San Souce's when Song is Sweet"
just before the ceremony. The bridal
couple entered unattended, to the
strains of Mendelsshon's Wedding
March, played by Miss Vivian. Dur
ing the ceremony Miles, "Aubade"
was rendered softly.
The bride wore handsome gown
of sheerest lawn embroidered with
rose buds, and carried bouquet of
bridal roses.
A three course dinner was served
by the brides sisters. The rooms
were decorated with evergreens,
American beauty roses and pink car
nations.
The out of town guests were Mrs.
Ernest Westerberg, of Alexandria,
Mimi; Mr.. Asbury Quig1ey, of Itch
field, Mimi; Mr.. Theo. Laessig and
Mrs. Ella Kingsley and daughter, Luz
cile, of Minneapolis; Rev. Spencer
Baker, of Rossville, Illinois; Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin Axness and little son, of
Grand Meadow, Minnesota; and Mr..
and Mrs. J. e. Cole and little daugh-
ter, of Morris, MINI.
The bride has grown to woman
hood in our midst and has taught
school in this state Tor several years.
The groom is a successful business
man in Morris, where they will be at
home to their many friends after
March 1.

ately for Chicago on their wedding

WILL HOLD BIG SALE
OF DUROC JERSEY SOWS
Agricultural School Will Offer Fine
Lot of Gifts to Public Next
Week

The West Central School of Agri-
culture at Morris is making arrange
ments to hold a public sale of Bred
Duroc Jerseys Sows on Friday, jan
uary 10, and forty head of fine bred
gifts will be offered. This sale will
be held in the large, steam-heated
pavilion at one o'clock and already
many farmers have signiied their in
tention to be present and take ad-
vantage of securing some extra good
sows.
In offering this sale of bred gifts
for public appraisal, the school is do
ing so for several reasons. First, the
= number of sows to be sold justifes
sale rather than the disposal of them
by private sale. Then again, they
are very anxious to comply with the
request of the government to aid
farmers in every way possible to in
crease their hog production for 1913.
1t is patriotic duty to produce as
many hogs during the coming season
as possible as the country is far
short of normal production and the
European countries are creating
tremendous demand for the pork of
the United States. The government
has practically guaranteed price
of 100-pound pork thirteen times the
price of bushel of corn. At this
figure, there is a guaranteed profit to
be made in hogs.
At this sale the school is offering
the best lot of gifts ever raised on
the University farm. They are big,
strong and growthy with the best of
feet and legs and they represent the
best of breeding to be found in the
county and have been pronounced
equal in individuality and breeding
with the best of our Duroc breeders.
This superior lot of gifts should be-
come the foundation of many i'm
proved herds in Minnesota.

NEW SOCIETY WILL DO
SOCIAL SERVICE WORK
New Organization Perfected by
Catholic Women Of st. Mary's
Parish

The Catholic women of st. Mary's
parish have perfected the organiza-
ton of a society to be known as the
Guild of Catholic Women. This So
ciety is the first of it's kind in this
community to undertake general
social service work in its many
phases.
The many cases which have come
to the attention of the Guild during
its brief existence have encouraged
the members to greater effort and
have amply proved the need of such
an organization.
The Guild aims at doing charity
and relief work, and in such way
as not to encourage dependency.
The welfare of children, their
health, education and immediate
surroundings out of school will re-
ceive close attention. The society
wishes to cooperate with all official
authority in all corrective measures
and in every movement for social
welfare and moral uplift. The Or
ganization wishes to be of service to
all needing kindly administrations
and the members wish to make
known their desire to be helpful to
the entire community and will glad
~ welcome the assistance Of any in
dividual or of any existing societies
interested in the work.
Cases needing attention will be
carefully investigated if the heads OF
the particular committees are noti-
fed.
