Early mass' I suppose. Charley Reed and family moved Monday to his mother’s farm. It takes something worse than a blizzard to stop Charley. Charley Salts moved one day last week from Winfred Pullins’ fanb to the Knowlton farm northwest of town. He is going to work for Jas. Walters the coming season. , Chris Morgenegg and Samuel Holme attended the Borntrager sale Monday. They purchased a cow apiece.
