Two children of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. McCrary are at the home of their grandmother, in town, quite sick, but not seriously.

Dr. Dean Sundayed in LeMars. His dental office is well patronized. Indeed he seems to have all the business he can attend to.

Messrs. McLane & Hayden are putting up a building near the depot in which they will conduct a restaurant and lunch counter business.

The contractor, Mr. J. F. Atkinson, who is just finishing off the new school building, expects to put in a winning bid on the new hotel job in the spring.

Everybody says the addition to the school building improves the appearance of the original house instead of disfiguring it. And what everybody says must be true.

Married: At the home of the brides parents, near Lohrville, on Thursday, Nov. 7th, 1889, Wm. Jukes, of Malta, Ills. And Miss Maggie McDonald, of Lohrville, Ia. A very pleasant and enjoyable occasion. It was in the presence only of the immediate relatives. E. G. S.

Obituary: Lilly McDaniel was born Aug. 24, 1889, in Fairfield, Iowa and died at her sisters’ Nov. 4, 1889. the funeral services took place at the house seven miles north of Lake City, Tuesday, Nov. 5th. Her remains were interred in Lake Creek Cemetery by the side of her parents.

The Sherman barber shop is to be refitted. The boys will move up stairs while the work is being done.

The ball at the Opera Hall last night was well attended and well enjoyed. It was a splendid party in every regard. The Townsend Orchestra sustained its reputation for good music and all went well.

Mr. St. John to-day moved into his new quarters basement of the Stophlet-McMillen block. The new place is fine, arranged with bath rooms, hot and cold water, on modern plans. The St. John barber shop and bath rooms will prove very popular and be a source of good profit to its owner.

In the case set for hearing in one of our Justice’s courts, the other day, Toliver was counsel on one side and J. Brown McCrary on the other. The case didn’t ”go round” because each client got scared at the other and left the country. We refer to the Martinne-Havens case. Must have been a might hazy case.

The new Presbyterian Church at Auburn will be dedicated on next Sabbath (Nov 17) There will be services in the morning at 11 o’clock and in the evening at 7:30. Rev. T. S. Bailey, of Cedar Rapids, will preach the services. The Presbyterian people of this place will have no preaching in the morning on account the dedicatory services.
