Another Surprise Party.


fall and winter, and more pleasant
! diversion, in which both young and old
! may find amusement and recreation is
hardly conceivable. Last Saturday
evening brought about another Of these
friendship gatherings which was per-
haps one of the largest and most inter-
esting In the series this winter. This
time it was Mr.. and Mrs. e. P. johnson
who were the victims of the communi-
tvs sociability. The festivities were
carried on at the Congregational church
In town, which was filled with over one
hundred persons. Rev. Drotts, the local
minister, was present and acted as
leader during the evening. A well Sc.
lected program including short
speech, Rotations and a number OF
beautiful quartets, duets and solo songs
by local talent was given and dainty
luncheon: was served. An envelope con-
tanning 81 was given to Mr.. and Mrs.
Johnson as remembrance from the
guests. 1t will be remembered that Mr.
johnson a short time ago had the mis-
fortune Of badly mangling his left hand
when coming in contact with moving
circular SOW, thus loosing one finger,
and as a consequence will be unable IT,
do much manual labor the rest of this
winter. 1t was mainly this incident
which induced Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Vor-
seth to again set the wheel rolling.
That their efforts in bringing about this
ms rtv hn Nv
testified by Saturday evenings audi
ence.
A report this week states that j. S.
Rafteseth has. purchased quarter Sec
ton of land located in the western part
Of Sec. %, from a party in Thief River
Falls. If this report proves true, the
Rafteseth Bros. now own over one Sec
ton of land northwest of town and it
will be the largest estate in this neigh
borhood.
Sven SwensOn left on Monday even
ing for Newfolden to look after his land
affairs.
Messrs. Racine Olson and Henry
Wendt, of Holt, were in this vicinity
last Monday to secure signatures on
their second petition to the Governor
for the division of Marshall county with
the county seat to be located at Holt
Their first petition failed on account Of
lack Of valuation, this however now
having been remedied by the annexa-
ton of the new county of the townships
of Viking and Marsh Grove further
west. Concerning this proposed divi-
sion the opinion. of the people in this
locality seems to be somewhat divided.
A certain class is opposed to any divi-
sion, basing their disapproval upon the
necessarily higher taxing rates, as we'll
as no direct beneficial outcome to the
township in case Of. division Others
are inclined to favor the Holt petition
rather than that Of Middle River, Holt
being more easily reached than Middle
River both by car and rail-. Still others
favor division regardless of county seat
location, their arguments being that a
to secure honest representation at the
county seat and the only way this can
be accomplished is by the forming Of 4
new county. Another design, which al
though new, seems to be gaining rapid
~ in the public favor is the annexation
Of part Of Marshall county to that of
Pennington. So far this plan is only 4
meditation, but it seems as if some day
an attempt may be made in this direc-
ton. Pennington county is smaller in
cepting that, of Red Lake, and has a
splendid county seat. Thief River Falls
draws trade from a large territory in
eastern Marshall county and has direct
railway connections with the greater
part Of the new proposed county, ex-
cepting the extreme eastern and nor
thern part which lacks more modern
thorOughfares, but which nevertheless,
would find the Pennington county seat
within easier reach than the present
Marshall county seat. However, for
this plan to materialize, would mean
the joint consideration of both Penning-
ton and eastern Marshall county, and
without doubt it would mean direct
financial saving to both.
The Rindal Ladies' Sewing Society

son last Tuesday afternoon. The meet
ing was we'll attended and a pleasant

ing will be held at the home Of Mrs.
A. s. Axelson on Tuesday, Feb. Bird.
