Telephone Co. was Jjeld last Saturday at

directors.

badly was the animal hurt that he was
unable to get up for some time.
Of course we were all shocked and sorry
to hear of the destructive fire in Heming
ford last week. Shindler, Frohnapfel, Bal
luo and the other unfortunate business
men in that block have befriended many
of the homesteaders in this neighborhood
in the strenuous past and we wish we were
in a position to offer them all something
more practical and material than a cold
expression of sympathy.
We hear there is to be a tri-wcekly mail
service on the Marsland-Ashbrook route,
beginning April 1st. Those of us getting
our mail over that route are glad of this,
but sorry we are to lose our jovial, good
hearted Fleet, the present carrier. It
costs the man in his position nothing to
be accomodating and helpful to the patrons
along such a route, and Mr. Fleet has
made for himself a host of friends by be
ing always pleasant and thoughtful of the
needs and pleasures of the homesteaders
during the trying months of the passing
winter and we will miss him. In fact he
has made even the children love him.
Dillard Ryan's pony fell with him last
Saturday, ( but the little fellow escaped

to be careful riding their horses over the
icy prairies. M. Stack.
