Miss Lizzie Solberg quietly
passed away on last Sunday,
May 3rd, after a lingering attack
of Tuberculosis, of consumption
of the lungs. Her remains were
interred in the Norse Lutheran
cemetery, on last Monday, in the
presence of a large assemblage
of sorrowing relatives and sym-
pathizing friends, Rev. J. K. Rys-
tad conducting the last sad rites.
General sympathy is felt for the
bereaved parents and relatives
in the demise of such a highly
respected and lovely young lady.
But we must all, sooner or later,
bow to the inevitable.

ready for the machinery to be
installed.

May is indeed cool, so far.
The frost on April 30th did con-
siderable damage in places. The
corn was more or less frozen,
where the ground had been rec-
ently plowed or cultivated, most
of it was frozen beyond recovery.
It is also thought that wheat has
been injured in places. Consid-
erable cotton was frozen, but it
has since been or is being re-
planted.
A girl recently arrived at John
Cowen’s.
Mrs. M. C. H. Olson, Roy V.

Nearly all the volunteer oats' (re-election)
