Epping Up-To-Date Club held an
open meeting in the Odd Fellows
Fall last Wednesday. Some report
a good time while others do not re-
port at all.
We are told that N. T. Rosenquiss
was a caller at Ray one day last
week seeking information regarding
Parliamentary Law.
It is reported that the City Council
contemplates changing the names of
some Of the more important streets
and avenues in our city this summer.
What might have been very se-
rious and possibly fatal accident hap
pened last Sunday evening about nine
or ten o'clock near the railroad cross
ing N. Main St., when Harry Gem
berling and one of our we'll known
ladies formerly of Grafton, N. d.,
were returning home from some-
where. It seems that the young lady
for some unexplainable cause, be-
came tired of Harrys company and
proceeded to beat it for home alone,
and in the entangling process, it
seems that the young ladies feet be-
came unmanageable, and in a very
short time was was embracing old
Mother Earth with out-stretched
arms. We are sorry to have to re-
port this accident, also to have to re-
port that there were no broken bones.
The only serious result was spoil
ed complexion, which was, we are in
formed, as good as new before MORN
ing. Mrs. Harry advises that this
will not occur again. We are unable
to learn the name or present where
abouts of the young lady.
Ole Ellingson's goats were callers
in our city several days last week.
While attempting to cross one of our
busiest streets, Mr.. William butted
into a transfer truck. He was taken
home in an ambulance.
VIM. Haney resigned his position
in the hardware store. Bill says that
he is too heavy for such light work;
we understand that he is contemplat-
ing entering the Hot Air manufac-
turing business.
If anyone does not know what
makes the clock in the Citizen State
Bank 90, ask Snider Haney. It is
secret but Snider will tell you if you
promise.
Mrs. O. A. Wang entertained Ole
and Gilman Wang Sunday with din
ner. Since Lutefsk is out of sea-
son, we presume she served some
thing else, possibly chicken.
Mrs. Chas. Gemberling reports that
someone entered her poultry house
one day last week and made away
with dozen of her finest hens. We
feel sorry for the hens.
Our citizens are asked to lend any
assistance needed to enable the two
school teachers to open the new P.
O.. box. The combination is right
and left but they do not know which
is right.
Elling Ellingson thinks that we re-
ceive mail five or six times day or
at least he makes that many trips to
the post Office daily. "
Marie Ginther, assisted by Lille
Ellingson is spending all of her spare
time devising ways and means of en-
tertaining all the returned Soldier
boys. Lille says they seem to like
French much better than Norwegian
which of course accounts for the sad
looking waitress at the restaurant. -
Variety is the spice of life so they
say, we'll Epping is as usual in the
land. Eight diefrent teachers in four
months, Not bad for these dry years
is it?
We overheard Lloyd Mohn asking
our local ticket agent about train
connections to Spring Brook. Object
unknown.
Melvin Bjerkseth was caller at
the Harry Gemberling home on Sun
day.
Myrtle Amundson is recovering
nicely from a severe attack Of cold
feet. On the strength of this, it is
reported that there will be dance
in the Miller Hall soon.
If anyone doubts that spring is
actually here, we would refer them
to Grace Beachler. One of those thirty
dollar spring hats speaks louder than
any robin you ever saw.
Edd Rem, accompanied by Mrs.
Lewis Scott drove to the river yes
tcrday-Lewis was in Willistcn at
the time.
Annie, McCreadie was caller in
our. city today. We do not know what
she wanted as we are quite certain
she was not near the schoolhouse, but
we do hear that she is looking for
a good reliable young man; one That
is fond of children and home life and
understands the art of Domestic
Science. The principal duties Of this
same young man will be to drive a
new Buick car and visit country
schools. ...
Edd Rem tells US that he received
message from Tom today saying
that he has arrived safely in New
York after having spent several
months in France.
