MILLNERVILLE MENTION
(Special Correspondence)
Old Millnerville acquaintances will be interested in known that Will Waddle, of Webster, S.D., has been named county judge for Day county, where he has lived and practiced law for many years. Being the senior member of the Day county bar, Governor Tom Berry appointed him when the vacancy occurred.
Labor Day was ideal for entertainment and family gatherings, but most of the country folk kept right on laboring, as usual.
The older son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Luce is attending Central high school in Sioux City this year. Allen, the younger boy, still has some vacation left, as the Stony Point school burned and must be replaced before school can reopen there. Mrs. Luce, who taught for some years at the Stony Point school, is the former Gladys Knapp, so this item will interest Millnerville.
Since the intense summer heat, Mrs. C. L. Knapp has been considerably better of her ailment, and while still more or less stiff in the joints, is now not suffering so much pain. This is good news to her friends, who are not used to seeing that very active lady unable to get about.
