A large class was confirmed at the Lutheran church last Sunday.

The ice is out of the Mississippi and navagation will soon be resumed.

Bert BURDICK expects to be "at home" in Des Moines after this week.

Mike MURPHY of West Superior, was in town Tuesday.

Miss Mamie GILSON, of Marshalltown was here visiting relatives this week.

Clara LIEBENSTEIN is the new German speaking saleslady at Luhman & Sanders.

Carl MEYER has erected a fine new barn on his residence property on the south side.

Miss Belle PRESCOTT, teaching at Forest City, spends a week of her vacation at home.

Mrs. Wm. BRAINARD, of Chicago, is visiting the BRAINARD families in the Bethel section.

Elmer MARSH and Frank TULLER went to Dakota Monday night.

Wm. KLUSS' late harness apprentice "jumped the bounty"(or the train) Wednesday night and went west to grow up with the country.

The editor's wife, who has been an invalid for a long time, is tryig the effect of electric baths, going to Cresco once a week for that purpose.

Mrs. M.E. TALCOTT and baby returned from their long stay in South Dakota last Monday, we are glad to learn both much improved in health.

Wanted. To hire a good man with family, used to farm work. A choice of two houses to live in. Inquire at this office or of John HAMMEL, Jr.

Mrs. KERR has received by mail a beautiful wreath of lilies, direct from San Diego, California a loving Easter remembrance from Mrs. E.T. HENDERSON.

Miss Lizzie LUKENBILL returned from Chicago on Tuesday, having spent two weeks in the city, selecting goods and learning the spring styles of trimming.

By not being able to read the "copy" we made a sad mistake in Mr. LONGSETH's name, last week, but he was married just the same and will live just as long.

Geo. LULL has sold his five acre tract on the SHROYER place to Gene STOCKMAN for $775.00. It looks as if Gene was going to marry and settle on it.

Wm. MOTT and Geo. LULL have been converting some of their shade trees into fire wood. The example ought to be contagious. Now that the trees are so large there are far too many of them, either for health or ornament.

Mr. and Mrs. G. STAADT, Mr. and Mrs. Henry POESCH, Wm. THOMA and Atty. BURLING went to Elkader overland on Monday, all except Mr. BURLING returning on Tuesday. It was not an extremely pleasant trip the way the roads are.

Orin GORDON has returned from his first trip to Chicago. He thinks the town is a little larger than Postville and some of the buildings are a little higher. He says the Iowa building at the World's Fair gets away with them all on decoration.

DOUBLE WEDDING.
At the residence of the bride's parents, In Postville, at high noon, on Thursday, March 30th, 1893, by Rev. LaRoy S. HAND, Mr. John M. THOMA and Miss Addie E. HARRINGTON.
At the same time and place, by the same, Mr. Charles A. HARRIS and Miss Alida HARRINGTON. All the parties were born in or near Postville, and many good wishes will follow them to their new homes. A pleasant company graced the festivities and the bounteous feast was enjoyed of all. On behalf of the Review we desire to extend congratulations and wish all parties represented above long life, happiness and success in all that makes human life worth living. The home and the associations that cluster around it comprise most of the happiness that the world affords; and just in proportion to the ability of our young friends to make home the pleasantest spot on earth will they succeed in carrying out the will of both God and man in instituting the sacred relation of marriage, which makes an ideal home possible. Always be kind, forbearing and loving and you will never regret the solemn obligations you have taken today. "So mote it be." We acknowledge with thanks the receipt of some delicious cake.
