An infant child of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Smither, who live one mile south
of town died Thursday from convulsions, due to measles. The funeral
services were held in the Congregational church conducted by Rev. J. W.

who was taken so suddenly, was the pet and favorite of all who knew her.
The Musical and Literary League held at the Congregational parsonage
Tuesday evening passed off very pleasantly. The society was permanently
organized and is now an assured success. The following officers were
elected: President, Mrs. J. W. Chaffin; vice president, Miss Isabelle
Steele; secretary, Miss Clara Knowles; treasurer, Miss Grey. Miss
Steele and Miss Grey were appointed a committee on program for the next

town together and we wish it success.
It is with regret that we learn that the presiding elder has concluded
to remove Rev. Mr. Klepper from our town and send him to LeMars to fill
the place vacated by Rev. Mr. Pardee. Mr. Klepper has, we think, done
more for the Methodist church of this place than any other minister we
ever had and it is with sorrow that we see him leave us. The people of
LeMars will find him to be a broad minded, kind hearted, Christian
gentleman, one who puts his whole strength and energy into his work, and
whose only thought and desire is to advance the great cause of the
Christian religion and point out the way of truth and righteousness. We
congratulate LeMars in getting a good man.
