AMUSEMENTS.

J. Z. LITTLE'S WORLD.

This play was presented to a very poor house at the Dalton, last evening.
The scenic effects were fine. The scene of the sinking ship and the raft
scene afterward were of special interest. Indeed the audience watched with
bated breath, the passing ship on the rolling water fearing, it would not
see the raft.

TRUE BLUE.

This entertainment at the opera house on Friday and Saturday evening, a
benefit to the boys of Co. G. will be a good showing by home talent.
Everybody go.

A GOOD RECORD.

The quarterly conference report of the Methodist church Monday evening
showed a very good record for the past quarter of Rev. J.W. Walker's labor.
There has been twenty-two accessions to the church and the charge is in a
flourishing condition financially and otherwise.

_____

Saloons are running in full blast in nearly all the small towns as well as
the larger ones, but no man has the courage to open up in Marcus. It is just
as difficult to run a saloon in a community where the sentiment is against
it as it is to suppress the saloon in a community where the masses are
favorable to it.

MARRIED.

COLLINS-YOUNT-At the home of Mrs. H. M. Black, on Thursday evening, January
29th, 1891, Rev. J.W. Walker officiating, Mr. E. E. Collins and Miss Clara
Belle Yount, both of this city.

CARD OF THANKS.

We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to our friends and neighbors, who so
kindly assisted us in our sad bereavement. Mr. and Mrs. A. Sulser.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS.

SENEY:

Mr. and Mrs. Al. McArthur of Leeds are here visiting her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Wm. Lancaster.

John Emery of Sioux county brought in some large porkers last week for J. E.
Eldridge.

Miss Maggie March from Kingsley came home last Friday and remained over
Sunday.

Mr. J.E. Eldridge is fast establishing himself as the king dealer in stock
for Seney. He made another purchase last week of thirty-five head of fine
steers.

Last Tuesday morning the gallantry of Mr. Wm. Jackson was observed by all of
Seney's young men. Who are now willing and anxious to break a snow path
clear to LeMars for our popular school ma'am.

The Quarterly meeting services held her Saturday and Sunday were conducted
by Presiding Elder G.W. Pratt. All those who failed to hear the sermons of
Saturday evening and Sunday morning missed a treat that this place is seldom
favored with. Mr. Pratt is a man of deep, broad views, and also possesses
unusual executive ability, as was clearly show in the Quarterly conference
of Saturday afternoon.

The old soldiers of Seney desire to thank Mr. John Beely, furniture dealer
of LeMars, for his very liberal reduction made to them in their purchase of
the beautiful chair for the March anniversary last week. Whenever any of the
parties concerned need anything in his line, they will not forget his
kindness or fail to remind others of his generosity.

The special meetings that have been in progress here for the past four weeks
will be continued, so far as we know at present, one more night. The pastor
has labored for the people during the four weeks just gone by, fervently,
prayerfully and with true sincerity of heart. He has borne a burden that
many would have lain down, yet through God-given strength he has remained
loyal to the cause of his Master.

REMSEN: (From the Bell.)

MARRIED-At the Catholic church in Remsen, Monday, January 26, Mr. J. Maurer
to Miss Lena Hamang.

Miss Kate Meis, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Shultz, for about a
month returned to her home at Dyersville last Monday.

An officer, armed with a warrant of arrest, came from Akron to Remsen
Thursday of last week, found his bird in the person of Heller Bentz and took
him along. It is said that, while in Akron a fortnight before, Heller stole
a valuable overcoat. Remsenites are sorry the miscreant did not steal a
horse rather than a coat.

MARCUS: (From the News.)

Mrs. Morgan, Mrs. John Straw's mother, who has been on a visit here the past
few weeks, returned to her home in Rockford, Ill., Thursday last.

MERRILL: (Special Correspondence)

LeMars Sentinel, Friday, February 6, 1891, Page 4, Column 3:

DIED:

Jackson--Tuesday, Feb. 3, 1891, of congestion of the lungs, little
Harvey, the seven months old babe of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jackson.

The angels came and plucked the little bud from earth, and carried it
to a land of perpetual sunshine; there to blossom where no frost or chilling
wind can ever touch, or blight, or wither.

One of our great minds has truly said, "T'were vain to try to gild a
grief with words", but we can grieve with and for the sorrowing ones. It is
all a friend can do. God, alone, can comfort this afflicted family, while
they feel so sorely the loss of their little darling.
