Mrs. Askew is the talented sister of Mrs. J. A. Sutton, of this place, and many will remember her sweet voice and winning ways. She spent the greater part of last year in Nashua, leading the choir in the Baptist church and was engaged in other church work. She has been making her home with her parents in Rock Creek Station since January.

Mr. Fred Schank, the groom, is the son of Ed Schank, of this place, and was one of the boys who went out from here about a year ago with the Forty-ninth to uphold the honor of our country and in liberating a down-trodden people from the tyrant's yoke. He had only just returned from Havana. By curious coincidence he was married on the same day that his sister, Nora, was, she not knowing of his marriage till later.

Mr. And Mrs. Schank are expected in Nashua soon, although it is not definitely known as to where they will make their future home. The Reporter wishes for them many years of happiness and usefulness in their married life.

All loyal sons of soldiers of the civil war are invited by the G. A. R. of Nashua to participate with them in Memorial Day exercises on Tuesday, May 30.

The services of these same loyal women the next year attracted the attention of others, and the custom from year to year has grown until today thousands show forth a loving spirit by paying homage to the sons who died that their country might live. – Ex.

Horses are Good Property – The man who owns several good salable young horses nowadays can afford to feel well pleased with himself, while he who quit raising them when the prices dropped a few years back has much to regret. During the past two years there has been a gradual but steady advance in prices and now the conditions of 1885 to 1893 are again in sight.

Here are three instances of recent date which show that the horse is good property to own. Last week John Seegmiller sold to Erick Anderson who is buying for the eastern market, eight head at an average price of $137.50. These horses Mr. S. had picked up during the past month or six weeks and it goes without saying that he realized a good profit on the deal. Some two weeks ago R. Simpson purchased a handsome gray horse which he intended to put into his livery barn. Mr. Anderson also bought that one, paying $135.00 for it. Last Saturday Fred Thomas was compelled to refuse $100 for a little 4-year-old that he has been using as a driver.

As an evidence that horses are not in the country it may be stated that out eight horses sold from the Anderson barn on a recent Saturday, six were purchased by farmers for farm work, and on a recent Saturday 5 out of 6 were taken by farmers. In other words farmers are buyers as well as sellers – Decorah Republican.

The horse then curlycued around vehicles and predestrians, scattering them right and left, alternately in the street and on the sidewalk, until the buggy caught onto the Reporter sign post and broke loose from Mr. Horse, who, somewhat sobered by the sudden jar, cantered into the middle of the street and was stopped.

Springer, of New Hampton, came Friday, armed with his fishing rod, and although in an interview he disclaimed any intentions of taking any of our fish from the Cedar but only just to kill time for a day or two, yet, seeing him in the company of some of our local fishermen, we judge that he was successful in killing time rather than fish.

Home and Abroad – The report that Ed Arnott was married last week, is false. In a letter to his father he stated that he was at Lake Minnetonka and having a great time. The day on which he wrote he had been fishing and had succeeded in landing over a hundred of the finny tribe. The seems rather incredulous to the average Nashua fisherman, who may fish all day and then bring home only a few rock bass.

Just as the noon passenger was coming in from the south, he started to drive across the track from the stock yards, not seeing nor hearing the approaching train almost on him.

In due time the company departed for their homes, wishing Miss Jennie many such birthdays.

Home and Abroad – Allen Wait met with a painful accident last evening in which he came near losing the sight of one of his eyes. It seems that Henry Smith had a small air gun in his hand and pointed it at Mr. Wait and snapped it not knowing it was loaded, and the shot, a BB struck Allen in the corner of the eye close to the nose. He immediately went to Dr. Horton's office and the doctor proceeded to probe for the ball, which he did not succeed in getting however, as it was buried so deep down toward the base of the brain. He thinks that is not likely anything serious will result from the wound. The sight of the eye will probably not be impaired as the shot did not touch the eye ball.

Home and Abroad – The committee appointed a few weeks ago to solicit funds for the base ball club and the band have met with flattering success in their efforts, some $? Per week having been raised for the ball club and about $9 per week for the band, with a number of $1?? contributions for the season. It is hoped to rais $2 a week more for the ball club so as to insure the success of that organization. The will have some outside talent to strengthen the team, F. Brockwell of Cherokee, having been secured for shortstop. Mr. Brockwell played in a Chicago club last season and is considered a good player, either on shortstop or in the box. The --- appointment of the committee to work for their benefit was enough to set the band on its feet again, the boys going at it with enthusiasm. They have put in a month of good hard practice, several new instruments have been purchased, a number of new pieces have been learned, and next week the band will give its first open-air concert, probably on Friday evening. The program will be published in next week's Reporter.
