The Democrat wishes them many years of health and happiness as residents of Emmetsburg. Mrs. Paul SCHENDEL was called to Wilmot, South Dakota, Friday by the serious illness of her mother, Mrs. HOYER. Capt. and Mrs E SOPER left Saturday evening for Tampa, Florida, to spend the winter. They will also spend some time at Hot Springs, Arkansas. Miss Lucile LAMBE of Graettinger returned to Dubuque last Thursday to resume her studies at Mt St Joseph Academy. R.H. MILLER and A.E. FRINK of the Cylinder neighborhood were business visitors in Emmetsburg Monday. Both were pleasant callers at the Democrat office. Mr .TISHENBANNER, the well known good road booster, has been appointed postmaster of Gilmore City. He seems to know something about politics as well as good roads. The Democrat is pleased to learn that George E LONG, editor of the Manson Journal, who recently underwent a surgical operation for cancer, is doing nicely and that his chances for recovery are considered reasonably hopeful. Two brothers of young BURKE, who was killed near Graettinger last week, arrived Monday morning to take their mother's remains home with them. The funeral will be held at St. Mary's, Kansas. The news of the accident must have been a rather sudden blow to the brothers and other members of the family. The annual meeting of the shareholders of the American Savings bank of Graettinger was held January 7, 1913. The directors elected for the ensuing year are J.A. SPIES, E.A. BAUMGARTNER, John GRAETTINGER, Preston FUHNESTOCK, Fred SPIES, C.C. LARSON and J.B. LAMBE. It was decided to increase the capital stock to $20,000. Mr. B.A. FUNK, son of Hon. A.B.

An excellent cut of Mr CARROLL, formerly of Curlew now of Marshall, Minnesota, appeared in Sunday's Register and Leader. Mr CARROLL has for sale about 10,000 acres of choice land in the vicinity of Marshall and he is doing a fine business. The Democrat is pleased to learn of his prosperity. Wednesday evening the Spencer basket ball five defeated the Company K team at the Armory by a score of 22 to 21. Teh game was a fast and interesting one. The members of the Company K club apparently did not make a very good showing until the close of the contest. With only ten minutes left to play, Spencer was leading by a score of 22 to 5, but the local players gingered up and almost overcame the visitors' lead. The members of the Spencer quintette were gentlemanly fellows and play good basketball. BROWN and FOY played forwards for the Emmetsburg team, with KETCHEN and NOLAN at center and BEEBE and DENEEN as guards. Lloyd REFSELL arrived in Des Moines Monday from New London, Ohio, where he had been visiting friends for two weeks. There has been considerable snow in Ohio during the present winter. Mr REFSELL spent a couple of days at Cleveland. He says it has become a very large and decidedly prosperous city. Many of its leading business houses are as good as can be found in Chicago. The new Statler hotel can not be surpassed by any house west of New York. Mr. REFSELL visited his brother at Grinell for a day before coming to Des Moines. He has been promised a good position in the lower house of the legislature and will doubtless remain there until the close of the session. Dr. KULP has been quite successful in securing positions for our Palo Alto citizens. Friday L. REIHSEN received a telegram from Mr. HALBACH of Milwaukee stating that his white Plymouth Rock cockerels and hens had won most of the better class of prizes at the International Poultry show at Springfield, Illinois. Mr. HALBACH is a wholesome hardware merchant at Milwaukee. He owns a small poultry farm near that place. Mr. REIHSEN bought his eggs of Mr HALBACH when he first commenced to raise white Plymouth Rocks. Over 255 birds were exhibited in the several classes at the Springfield show. Father NUGENT of Des Moines left for Europe Sunday evening in company with his brother, Attorney NUGENT, and Father ROMANELLI. They will remain abroad for several months. Jacob HENG, who has been visiting relatives in Fairfield township since Christmas, will leave Friday for Barnesville, Minnesota. He and his brother John own a big farm seven miles from that place. They had good crops this year. Land sells in that locality for $35 to $50 per acre. Mr and Mrs M.L. BROWN will leave for Los Angeles, California, to-morrow where they will remain until May. Mrs. H.C. SHADBOLT will accompany them as far as Deming, New Mexico, where she will spend several months with Mrs JACOBS. The Democrat hopes they all have a pleasant trip. Mrs. John McCORMICK, Sr. is still very ill at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J.D. HIGGINS of Great Oak. No hopes are entertained for her recovery. WERE MARRIED WEDNESDAY Mr James Blaine McALLISTER and Miss Manda A KERBER Mr James Blaine McALLISTER and Miss Manda A KERBER were united in marriage at the Congregational parsonage in this city last Wednesday evening at four o'clock, Rev. J.E. BRERTON officiating. They were unattended. They left on the evening passenger for Sherlock and Waverly where they spent a few days visiting relatives and friends. They arrived home Monday evening. The bride is a daughter of Mr and Mrs John KERBER, who live a short distance east of this city. She is a young lady whose pleasing personality and many excellent qualities of mind and heart have endeared her to those who know her. All will, we are confident, be delighted to learn that she is able to remain permanently in our community. The groom is a son of Mrs and Mrs E.R. McALLISTER, who are among the well known and worthy pioneer residents of our locality. He is a young man of decision, industry, and true worth and will no doubt, in due time, win his way to the front. Mr and Mrs McALLISTER will commence housekeeping on one of the A.W. WAGNER farms in Great Oak township. The Democrat wishes them the many and substantial blessings they so well deserve.
