Miss Emeline Scribner closed the ridge school Friday and returned to her
home in LeMars.

Decoration Day was very quiet here, even the customary ball game being
omitted.  The quiet was more like a Sabbath day, though a display of the
nation's colors was not forgotten, they floating from the business
places and some homes.

We noticed with regret in last week's Register-Tribune that B. F. Round
has severed his connection with the paper.  It impresses the writer that
neither of the firm, Round or Smith, were exactly born with a silver
spoon in their mouths or ever whiled away much time on flowery beds of
ease, but that whatever honor or success has come to them they have won
through persistent hard labor and by steadily pulling up stream against
a strong current.  We honor those to whom success comes in that way.

C. M. Rasmussen has been quite seriously ill the past week.

Miss Mabel Eberly was a Sioux City visitor last Saturday.

Our market place presents a very busy appearance these days, and the
good price for corn is helping farmers out in great shape.  There were
forty teams standing on the market at one time Wednesday morning.

We received a letter from B. G. Crumrine, who is at Hemet, Riverside
county, Cal., with his sister and brother.  He had just finished
building a cottage for the latter and was planning a trip to eastern
California.

The wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Buchter at their home
east of town, Thursday, was a very pleasant social event.  About forty
friends responded to the invitations.  A sumptuous dinner was served
from noon until all were waited upon.  The day was ideal for a lawn
party and the afternoon was spent playing games and in social chat.
Guests from a distance were: Mrs. Runnels and Mr. and Mrs. Kearns and
little son from Shelby county, Iowa, the former being a sister and Mr.
Kearns a brother of Mrs. Buchter; Mr. and Mrs. William Stokes and
children, who were on their return trip from a winter's sojourn in
California.  The host and hostess were presented with some choice and
beautiful gifts in silverware.
