One only lived a few hours and those attending Mrs. Page hardly dare hope that the other will live long. The mother is very low at this writing, but, if prayers and good care are of avail, she will get well again, as all hope for her speedy recovery. Some time ago the Misses Jennie Crawford, Alta Luke, Velora Peacock, Blanch Grange, and Flora Tuttle all met at the home of Mrs. J. O. Luke to contest their ablity at making candy for the soldier boys. The boys were to be the judges but they were unable to say who had won but were very confident their fair friends could stand right among the very best candy makers in this part of the world. They all enjoy every box which comes their way no matter who gets It and all express ex-press their thanks to the girls. G. T. Olsen has again visited our town and purchased a fine bunch of steers from local cattle men. He got three hundred head here and from the whole county we undestand about i fifteen hundred head.

She was more than pleased to see them and made them feel right at home. After spending a few hours pleasantly a dainty tea was served. All went home feeling rested and happy. |
