The entertainment and box
supper at the school building
Thursday eve. was quite we'll
attended and was a success in
every way. First on the p.o :

close of the evening from this
sale amounted to $4,000 and
some cents. We realize our
townspeople are very much In
terested in the schools and are
anxious to help In every way,
therefore It Is not necessary to
speak Of them, but we do feel
1t no more than right to speak
Of the way the B. & M. Boys
turned out and helped financ-
tally that evening. It Is certain
ly appreciated. This enter
tainment has enabled Miss
Lunnie to place In the village
school room a beautiful clock
as we'll as other needed com
forts.

Cause unknown. Mr. Hensen
had not occupied the house fo-
some time. His household
furniture was stored IN two
rooms upstairs, from where the
fire broke out. Once before

valuable possessions from his

chair and dresser. We wish to
extend sympathy to Mr. Hensen
