"No, this one here isn’t afraid, but I got one at home that is," was the man’s reply.

Professor Lloyd Davis left last Saturday morning for his home at Red Granite, Wis., after closing his second successful term as principal of our schools.  Mr. Davis has decided not to return next fall, a fact very much regretted by his friends, and those who were aware of his ability as a teacher.  During his two terms of principal-ship he has brought out school to a degree of perfection and it is hoped that his successor, whoever he may be. will be able to continue the work where Mr. Davis has left it.

Rev. J. Reiff was pleasantly surprised by a large number of his parishioners and friends at his home last Sunday evening, the occasion being his 40^th birthday. As a token of their esteem they presented him with an elegant office chair purchased of August Hammler.  It is needless to say that the evening was enjoyed by all, for Mr. Reiff as well as his better half are very pleasant and capable entertainers, in whose presence anyone is bound to feel at home.  Among those present from away were Rev. Kemena and family of Nasonville and Rev. Lange and family of Loyal.

While Dr. Schulz was returning home last week Wednesday night he noticed a light in Max Opelt’s store and upon investigation found that burglars were at work within.  Securing his shot gun and on returning he noticed three men leaving the store.  He commanded them to halt and refusing to do so he opened fire which they promptly returned.  In all about 15 shots were exchanged, the burglars finally taking to their heels. So far as could be ascertained, little or nothing was missing from the store.
