Hartford Miller, of the firm of Mil
Ter Bros. of Sabula, was in Bismarck
Wednesday. The firm operate a
handle factory at Ssbula. and Mr.. Mil
Ter was here looking over the field
with a view of moving their plant
here. We understand that Mr.. Mil
Ter decided on moving their plant
here, and in addition to this they
would also consider the leasing of the
electric light plant and put it into
operation. We hope that this will
come to pass. bismarck Gazette.
A very pleasant evening was spent
at the Valley Inn Friday when a bunch
of t%wenty-one young folks entertain
ed Mrs. Frank Carroll, who is visiting
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Fisher. The evening was spent in
dancing and at eleven O'Clock they
were called into the dining roo
where delicious sandwiches and coffee
were served. Halloween decora-
tons added to the beauty of the large
table. At a late hour the guests de-
parted, all declaring they had spent
a most enjoyable evening.

The Centerville base ball team
journeyed to Ironton on last Sunday
to play q ball game with the Ironton
team, which had previously been
arranged at the request of the Iron
ton team, who according to the usual
custom guaranteed the expenses of
the visiting team. The day dawned
rainy, but with some prospect of it
clearing later in the day, SO the team
i~ourneyed to Ironton via service cars,
but they failed to locate the Ironton
team, only one member showing up.
The trip cost the home boys about
fifty bucks, but their only disappoint-
ment was because the Ironton team
failed to show up and take their
medicine. The Centerville team have
never ~"funked" when they matched
a game; likewise they have never
+ tasted defeat. They will probably
/ play the final game of the year with
Salem next Sunday .-Centerville Out
