Excerpts from the Herald of
Years Ago

Last Saturday Bert Dickerson
was badly hurt while working with
the Neal wood saving outfit. His
left hand was accidentally caught
by the rapidly revolving buzz saw
and seriously mangled. The thumb
and one finger were nearly cut on
and the muscles Of the forearm cut
and torn. The wound was dressed
by a physician and the patient is
doing well as could be expected.
The first regular meeting OF the
Congregational Brotherhood was
held at the church last week. There
were fifteen members present and
an ENJOYABLE and profitable time
was had. The time for the adj
mission ii charter members was ex-
tended to December and every
man pledged himself to put forth
his best endeavors to bring in at
least one new member at the next
meeting. The officers announced
the standing committees and re-
commended Rev. F. H. Oehler as
the teacher of the Bible study
class. Mr.. Oehler explained that
until such a time as he could Sc
cure some one to take charge OF
the Junior Baraca class he would
not be able to take the class. The
Brotherhood elected him to the po-
sition with this understanding and
suggested that he name an assist
ant teacher. He appointed Jas. A.
Norris to that position. John J.
Boobar, of Washington, D. c., who
by special vote was made chart
er member at the previous meet
ing of the Brotherhood, gave halt
hours talk that was very enter
tanning and helpful. The meeting
adjourned at nine o'clock all feel
ing that a good start had been
made and that the Brotherhood is
bound to grow and become a big
factor in the life of the church.
The next regular meeting will be
held on Monday evening, Dec. 7.
Civil Engineer M. J. Cleveland
surveyed and plated, Ward
Springs" last week. All the land
Mr.. Ward owns fronting the lake
was included in this survey and
gave him 80 lots. The grounds
have been nicely cleaned up and
this work which has been going on
since August has greatly improved
the appearance of this nature fav-
ored spot. These lots will be put
on the market as soon as the plat
is filed and received. The ar
rangement and division of the
grounds was left wholly to Mr..
Cleveland's good judgement and
the result was highly pleasing to
Mr.. Ward.
On "Wednesday evening of this
week, Nov. IL, Mr.. and Mrs. E.
E. Compton celebrated the TWEEN
tieth anniversary of their wedding.
Their coy home in this city open
ed its hospitable doors on that oc-
casion and fifty friends and &C
quaintances accepted the invitation
from the worthy couple to assist in
the festivities of the evening.
Since the last issue of The Her
aid, it transpires that the nation
al election was more of a Taft en-
dorsement than at first thought.
Missouri now is in the republican
column, and the Taft and Sherman
vote in the electoral college, will
be over 800. Congress is repab-
lican, though the democrats made
substantial gains. Cannon is re-
elected by a majority of over S.
900. Hughes majority as govern
or of New York, is $4,000 or more.
Burke, (dem) was elected govern
or of North Dakota by nearly s.
600 over johnson. John A. john
son, OF Minnesota has a majority
of $1,000 or more over J. F. JAG
OLSON. The legislature is republi-
can, though the democrats made
gains. Henry j.. Emmel, of Mel
rose, has a majority of 562 over
Gustav Levorson for the legisla-
ture.
