If anyone else has any little tidbits like this laying around on the same
pages as your obits,etc., please feel free to post and share with others. A
couple of sentences sometimes pack a lot of information.
I especially liked the tidbit below where it looks like N.A. Lind paid too
much for a bunch of bull!!!!!!!!!

during the past week visiting with Master Willie Nolan.

Dr. W.P. Sherlock came up from Keokuk Tuesday to visit his parents and other

We regret to learn that Mr. and Mrs. James E Brennan, of San Francsco, lost
their infant daughter a week ago Friday. This is sad news to their
Emmetsburg friends.

Mr. and Mrs. Alex Peddie arrived home from Houston, Texas, yesterday. We are
glad to learn that Mr. Peddie had a fine rice crop on his big plantation
this year.

L.G. Baker and J. Hagerty, of Spencer, were Emmetsburg visitors Saturday.
The were on their way home from Iowa City. They have been attending the Iowa
university.

John Breen, of Gettysburg, South Dakota, is visiting his sister, Mrs. M.F.
Brennan. He has resided in Potter county for over twenty years and has done
well there. One of his sons is county auditor. There is deep snow in that
part of South Dakota at the present time.

Mr. and Mrs. Edward Burns, who had been guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
John Drummy, left Saturday for DeSmet, South Dakota. Mrs. Burns is Mr.
Drummy's sister.

Mrs. Frank Russell of Whittemore, came to Emmetsburg Saturday and met her
nephew, Walter Gardiner, who drove to Ayrshire with her. She will visit
friends in that vicinity for a short time.

Mr. and Mrs. Seth Smith and son Homer, of Ruthven, have gone to Colorado
where they will spend a month. Mrs. Smith's health is not good and she hopes

A copy of the first number of the Mallard Leader has reached this office. It

The Whittemore Champion says that while in Chicago last week, John Wegener,
of Fairville, invested in an automobile. The machine is a four-cylinder,
35-horse power machine, with top and complete set of extras. It is said to
be a very fine rig.

It is reported that N.A. Lind, of Rolfe, bought a $1,620 bull a few days
ago. Some breeders of fancy cattle have a method of hoisting prices that is
often surprising. However, suckers are often caught by it. If Mr. lind paid
$1,620 for the animal, he must have the money to burn.

Mr. and Mrs. E.M. Hughes will leave tomorrow morning for Egan, South Dakota,

sister of Mrs. Hughes. From there they will go by way of Sioux City to

a wide circle of friends will accompany them to their new location.
