Last Friday was Mrs. Elizabeth Pullman's birthday anniversary and during the afternoon and evening a goodly number of her friends and relatives spent a few hours with her."Aunt" Pullman received several nice presents. We understand that it is not proper to mention a lady's age, but in this case it is absolutely necessary. Last year Mrs. Pullman said she was "Sweet 16" and claims she is getting younger every year, so of course she is 15 this year.
The pupils of the high school enjoyed a wienie roast last Thursday down at the creek. They were chaperoned by a number of teachers. We understand that Prof. Spilman is somewhat of a foot racer.

George T. Rew tells us that he has close to a thousand acres of corn on his ranch eight miles east of Silver City. Mr. Rew and his son-in-law
James Burgoin, are of the heaviest cattle feeders in western Iowa and this large amount of corn will not last them a great while.
