R.B. WATERS of Grand Meadow township, planned and perpetrated a neat surprise on her husband last Sunday on the occasion of his birthday anniversary. She invited in a goodly number of guests who most heartily enjoyed the sumptous dinner and the fine social season following. Those present to participate in the happy event wish Bert many happy returns of the day.

[abstracted] The bankers of Allamakee co. held a special meeting at Waukon...One of the main objects...was to complete the organization of the county vigilantes committee...Dennis COTA of Waukon was chosen as Chief. The vigilantes in this county have been on the job for some time and are already equipped with arms and ammunition...shot guns, rifles and pistols and before long chief COTA will have the boys assemble for target practice and will round them into shape so they can hit the bulls eye every shot. The vigilante system is considered the most effective means of warding off bank robberies...no attempts have been made to rob the banks of this county...due to the fact that the vigilantes have been on the job in Allamakee for the past several years. The officers of the Allamakee Co. Bankers association are:
L.O. BEUCHER, Postville, President
S.W. LUDEKING, Waukon, Vice President
J.H. LARKIN, Lansing, Secretary
G.M. KERNDT, Lansing, Treasurer
