Palo Alto Reporter
Emmetsburg, Palo Alto, Iowa
Friday, Dec. 24, 1897

-Mrs. W.J. Brown has been enjoying the fine sleighing of the past few days in
the fine new cutter.
-Born to Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Reed, Monday, Dec. 20, 1897, an eleven and one half
pound boy. All concerned are getting along nicely.
-The E.D.W. Club met with Mr .and Mrs. Consigny last Monday evening. A nice
social evening was enjoyed by all. The next meeting will be with Mr .and Mrs.
C.W. Hodgkinson.
-Kaufman brothers have put in a clothing house at Austin, Minn, which for the
time being has been placed under charge of H.K. Flom of this city, who left on
last Saturday to take charge of it.
-In an oratorical contest at Iowa college last Saturday, Dwight McCarty took
third honors. This entitles him to the chairmanship of the state committee.
Dwight's many Emmetsburg friends are rejoiced over his success.
-Monday afternoon Ned Hartshorn had a runaway. He was out driving and in turning
a corner the cutter upset and spilled him out. The horse became scared and ran
away, doing some damage to the cutter. Otherwise nothing was hurt.
-Miss Nellie Shadbolt entertained about twenty of her young companions at her
home Friday evening of last week. The young people were entertained in a royal
manner, and went home feeling that Miss Nellie made a charming hostess.
-Mrs. and Mrs. A.A. Wells of Osgood are enjoying a visit from their daughters,
Mrs. Jennie Cady of Iowa Falls, and Mrs C.N. Cook of Burt. The Guests will
remain a week.
-The free cooking exhibit at Dealy & Cos. store, during the first three days of
the week was quite a success and Mrs. Clark is certainly an adept in the
culinary art, and her pies, puddings and cake are very toothsome. They are made
from a mince meat which is prepared for that purpose. The mince meat retails at
ten cents a package, and will make two large pies.
-J.F. Neary has disposed of his stock of goods to a gentleman from Marothon this
state. He puts in his goods at cost, and takes it in exchange a farm in Vernon
township at a certain price per acre. Whatever the difference in the invoiced
price of the goods and the farm, Mr. Neary will continue to sell the goods for
some little time, and will then remove them to some other place.
-W.E. Wilson returned from Des Moines Wednesday evening. He will move with his
family to Oregon in the spring.-- Free Press.
-A. Younie will start for Loveland, Colorado, on Monday, where he will visit his
two daughters and their families. He will be gone about two weeks, and when he
returns will bring Mrs. Y. with him.-- West Bend Journal.
-J.W. Hanson has let the contract for delivering ten cords of rock on his block
in the southeast part of the city and will, we understand, erect a fine
residence as soon as work can be commenced in the spring. It is an old saying
that there is no great loss without some small gain, and while Palo Alto Co has
lost a most efficient sheriff, Ruthven will gain a most welcome citizen.-- Free
Press.
