how many human beings were con-

stunted and crooked men of the mines,
for they did not dwell within the city.
The soldlery was In evidence, mostly
upon steeds that were more sturdy
than symmetrical. On the return
across the palace lawn Con had noted
a small party OF women, closely yelled,
moving toward the fountains. Their
robes were of figured stuffs. the ends
OF their head-vells drifting white. Two
coffee-colored giants had walked be

BUYS OLE SELNESS FARM
Sam Hanson, of Glenwood Became
The Owner Last Thursday.

Last Thursday another good Win
neshiek county farm was sold, when
Ex-Supervisor Ole Selness disposed
of 81 acres in Hesper township, to
Sam Hanson, Of Glenwood township,
who now lives on the Victor Ruen
farm. Geo. p. Ode, the land man
made the deal.
Possession will be given March
first. The Selness farm is now oc-
cupied by Mr.. Thorsen.
This farm has an extra good set
of buildings on it. The residence
is fine modern one, with gas lights,
steam heat, etc. In fact it is a
very desirable farm and will make
Mr.. Hanson a fine home. 1t sold,
we understand, around $3.50 an acre.
Mr.. SeIness departed Thursday
night on his return trip to his home
at Glenwood, Mimi, where he runs a
240 acre farm and has been located
for two years past. He is doing
fine up there, which will be good
news to his many friends here, who
were all pleased to see him.

DEBORAH WINS FIRST GAME
Local High School Football Team
Defeats Maynard Eleven By
25 to 0.

The Decorah high school football
team opened the local football sea-
son here last Saturday in game
with Maynard Consolidated School,
defeating them by score of 20 to
o. Although the first game of the
season, both teams showed mighty
good fight and made many excellent
plays. Although the invaders were
larger men, on the average, and also
were more experienced, the Decorah
boys were little too fast for them.
The first touchdown was made by
Darwin Alyger, quarterback for De-
corah, in the first eight minutes of
play Alyger also made successful
goal kick. The other Is points were
made by William Olson, Decorah's
right end, two of the touchdowns be-
ing made on passes and the other
from a tumble of Maynard's.

BUYING LOTS OF STOCK
G.. Il. Pearson in the Local Stock
Buying Field Again.

1t will be good news to many
farmers throughout Winneshiek
county to know that G.. t. Pearson
is again buying stock on the local
market. For the past two years Mr.
Pearson had been operating on the
st. Paul market, and spending most
of his time in st. Paul union stock
yards. But his home farm and busi-
ness required more of his time and
he has decided to devote all of his
time here, and will buy cattle on a
large scale from now on. He has
been shipping from four to six cars
a week out of Decorah, and the
farmers he has bought from are
well pleased with his prices and
treatment. Mr.. Pearson is a
thorough stock man, and no novice
at the business. He knows good
animal when he sees it, and another
thing that works good to his credit
he is on the square and every man
who sells him stock can feel secure
in getting a square deal from Pear
son. Those kind of men are an as
set to any community, and we be-
lieve that every body who ever
dealt with Mr.. Pearson will be more
than ready to deal with him again.
