Emmetsburg Democrat
Palo Alto County, Iowa
4 Dec 1912

Mrs. N. ADAMS and daughter , Miss Josie, departed for Seattle, Washington
Monday morning. They went to Minneapolis and left over the Great Northern.
Mrs. ADAMS has a daughter living in Seattle.

Walter McBRIDE, formerly foreman of the Reporter office, and who was later
editor of the Armstrong Journal, has accepted a position in an office at
Langford, South Dakota. He and Mrs. McBRIDE have already moved to that
place.

A few days ago George MAYHEW of Everly was hit on the head by a 50 pound
concrete block which fell from a ten foot wall. It merely inflicted a slight
scalp wound. Mr. MAYHEW would evidently make a good prize fighter.

Mrs. NELSON and son of this city enjoyed a visit a few days ago from her
daughter, Mrs. M. SKOWBO of Armstrong. Mrs. SKOWBO was very ill for some
time but is quite a bit better. Her many local friends hope for her
permanent restoration to health and strength.

The first issue of the Armstrong Journal under the management of Ted TIERNEY
presents a very neat appearance. Mr. TIERNEY is a good fellow and a good
printer and he will give the Armstrong people a newsy, ably edited
newspaper. The Democrat wishes him success in his new field of labor.

Carl C. COVELL of Cylinder was in Emmetsburg Friday. He was getting some
sale bills printed for his big sale Friday, December 13. He will have a
quarter page ad in our next issue. He informs us that he is positively
closing out everything. He and his brother-in-law, A.A. HATCH, have
purchased the A.W. FINUF hardware stock at Curlew and will soon take
possession. The Democrat wishes the new firm success.

KOLLASCH-WALSH
At the Catholic church in Whittemore Wednesday morning, November 27, 1912,
occurred the marriage of Mr. P.W. KOLLACH and Miss Ella WALSH. Rev. Father
DULLARD performed the ceremony. The bridal couple was unattended. After the
ceremony the bridal couple drove to the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Edward WALSH, where a wedding breakfast was served. In the evening a
dance and reception was held at the opera house in honor of the
event.-Whittemore Champion.

Lower Rates on Beer.
The dailies report that the freight rate on beer from Sioux City to Iowa
points will be reduced from 50 cents to 25 cents per hundred. The change
will take place on December 1. The reduction is made at the request of the
Sioux City brewers. Heretofore Omaha brewers have been able to make
shipments to Iowa patrons at lower rates than are allowed to home firms.
This item will be good news to those who enjoy their bitters regularly.

FANDEL-ROHMANS
This Thursday morning at the Catholic church in Whittemore takes place the
marriage of Mr. George FANDEL to Miss Laura ROHMANS. Rev. E.L. DULLARD
performs the ceremony. A wedding reception will be held at the home of Mrs.
M.W. FANDEL during the day in honor of the event. Mr. and Mrs. FANDEL will
live on the old HIGGINS homestead during the coming year. - Whittemore
Champion.
