Happenings

Mr. W.E. Stoebe and Miss Lena Weisbrod of the Fenton neighborhood were
married last Thursday.

The Democrat regrets to learn that Dr. Beatty of Mallard has been quite ill.
He is, we are glad to report, improving.

Mr. Sullivan, who resided in the vicinity of Mallard, recently died at
Foley, Minnesota. He was the father of Mrs. A.H. Steil of Mallard.

Anton Berkeland of Fenton is home from Highland Park, having finished a
course in engineering at that institution. We glean from the Fenton
Reporter.

The West Bend Journal reports that John Wickman recently sold his farm near
Bancroft and has rented a place near Rodman. He is moving onto it this week.

Mrs. J.A. Mormon recently enjoyed a visit from her father, Mr. Hawk, who
lives in Wisconsin. He left a short time ago for Charles Mix county, South
Dakota.

E.J. Scott has rented the P.C. Neary store building. It will make him a fine
room. The location is choice. Mr. Reihsen will soon move out of the
building.

Charles Albee, who lives six miles north of Sumner, was in Emmetsburg
Thursday evening. he was on his way to West Bend where he resided a number
of years ago. He says that real estate values are about the same in Bremer
county as they are in this locality.

P.E.C. Lally of Denison, wlll known to many of our local citizens, was taken
to Rochester, Minnesota, a few days ago where he will undergo an operation.
It is claimed that he has cancer of the intestines. He is said to be very
much discouraged.

W.H. Coakley moved on to his father's farm in Great Oak township last week.

P.H. Donlon was at Graettinger Wednesday to see his brother Peter, who was
on the sick list for several days.

William Conlon and his partner, Mr. Olson, have sold their store at Terril
to C.J. Applequist of Dunnel, Minnesota. Mr. Conlon is postmaster at that
place.

H.S. Mosher of Walnut, Iowa, was in Emmetsburg several days during the past
week looking after real estate interests. He returned home Wednesday
evening.

Nels Simonson was at Bode the last of the week conducting Mr. Beebe's sale
of clothing at that place. He is very capable for this line of work. He had
good success at Bode.

Clarence Hayes of Nevada township bought two fine Shorthorns at the Shaffer
sale held at Estherville a short time ago. Mr. Hayes is a very successful
cattle breeder and spend considerable money in keeping up his herd.

John Spilles was up from Fern Valley township Tuesday evening of last week.
He is one of the prosperous farmers of our county. He owns 240 acres of
choice, well improved land and the best part of it is he does not owe a cent
on it.

Edward McNally reports that he has handled 132 abstracts since January 1.
Some of them, of course, were for parties who wished to make loans, but most
of them were for transfers of real estate. Other officers have doubtless
done a large business. This has been a good year for the abstracter.

H.R. Hanson has moved onto the O.H. Rindy farm in Independence township. The
owner of the place does not live in this county.

John Scott has rented the Daily building east of the McCarty & Reichard
harness building for a garage. He was unable to secure a large building.
Emmetsburg needs a nice large auto garage. Who will build it?

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas O'Connor arrived home from Quincy, Illinois, Wednesday
morning. They brought with them Mrs. Timpe's only child. Mrs. Timpe will
remain at Quincy for a short time to look after business matters, after
which she will come to Emmetsburg to spend a few months with her parents.
Mr. O'Connor reports that he did not see any snow at Quincy or for some
distance this side of it.

Mrs. Martha P. Reese and her mother, Mrs. Dora L. Haugstuen, of Graettinger,
were in Emmetsburg Saturday. Mrs. Haugstuen will sell her home at that place
at public auction March 15. She will soon accompany Mrs. Reese to her home
at Los Angeles, California. The latter has lived at that place for several
years. She likes the climate. Mrs. Haugstuen has been suffering from
rheumatism and she hopes the change will benefit her. Mrs. Reese reports
that residence lots adjacent to her home in Los Angeles, which could be had
for $35 six years ago, are now bringing $2,000.

Ed Schmidt came down from Graettinger Saturday to remain for a few days. He
has been under Dr. O'Brien's care for some time. He is, we are pleased to
report, getting along nicely. His father, Peter P. Schmidt, left for Amery,
Wisconsin, Friday evening. He bought a farm at that place during the fall.
Mrs.Schmidt and the children will leave for their new home this week. Mr.
and Mrs. Schmidt lived in this city for some time but later moved to
Graettinger. They are among the most deserving and respected people of our
county and all who know them will, we are sure, regret to learn that they
have gone to Wisconsin to reside. The Democrat hopes they will prosper in
that state and enjoy their new surroundings.
