The Tribune reporters are all wide Jpwake, but what is the matter with the '-tSaaette sleepies? A large number attended the funeral *~©i Mrs. C. L. Englund which occurred 'mt Svea last week. The roads are now in a very bad '^condition and it is almost impossible to drive. The mail carrier on Route 3So. 2 did not visit us last Thursday and Friday. This was a bit of a dis appointment, but we will have to ex raise him on account of the bad roads. Some of our farmers have sympa thized with the mail carrier on route "2 and will drive the mail from an ion's, making a rcund trip and back %o said place again. Carl Williams is reported sick. -J. A.

Fondell returned last Friday from a visit in St. Paul and Minneapolis. Johannes J. Holmgren went to Watkins, Minnesota, last Wednesday. After a few days' visit with his daughter and son-in-law there, it was his intention to make a tour through the western states, including Washington and California, where he will call on former Mamie residents. If he finds the country suitable, he will probably invest in some land in either of the two states. Charlie Erickson leaves today for Ward county, N. D., with a carload of stock, machinery, and household goods. He will reside on his claim there and try if farming pays better in North Dakota than in Minnesota. We wish you success, Charlie. The Pennock & Mamie Telephone Company held their annual meeting at O. Soderholm's place last Saturday. The following officers were elected: Cl. C. Berkeland, president Albert Spring Hats for 1903 extend you a cordial invitation to our Opening of Spring Millinery including Pattern Hats and latest Novelties. Contains the season's choicest productions, all up to date, on and after SATURDAY, March 28, The Iverson's Millinery Co. The News of the County was issued Johnson, secretary, Peter Rodman, treasurer. Gustaf Yohnasson arrived here from Vermland, Sweden, last Saturday, and is at present staying with friends. He presents a robust appearance, and will probably hire out to some of our farmers. He is not from the famine district of Sweden but he says that they had an extremely poor crop around his home, the poorest for many years. Dr. C. E. McLaughlin of Willmar was called out to attend George Nary last Wednesday, who was seriously ill. We were unable to learn what his sickness was. Rev. N. Frykman of Salem was in attendance at twentieth anniversary meetings at the Swedish Mission church at Willmar last week. A number of other Mamre people also attended. On account of the excess of rain last week Swan Lake is about the largest it has ever been. Joseph Halliday, who lives on a peninsula extending out into Swann Lake, is pretty near hemmed in by water. While referring to his farm we would often hear people say "Joseph pa oa" and of late it did not seem very appropriate to do so, but now it fits to perfection. A choir will be inaugurated at Pen nock in the near future. It will be under the direct management of Miss Hilma Johnson, the efficient music teacher of St. Johns, which in itself proves that it will no doubt be a success. A number of Mamre young people will become members. We wish them all. Good success and hope they will give a public exhibition of their musical and vocal powers some time during the spring and summer, to which the writer hopes to be invited. NEWSBOY. Lake Andrew. March 22. Spring must be approaching by the way the farmers are acting, and they ought to know. It seems the Lake Andrew farmers cannot agree on the telephone question. A meeting was held on Saturday night to organize a company but nothing was done. It is too bad that Lake Andrew cannot have a telephone line as well as the adjoining townships. Owing to the unsettled condition of the weather much sickness is prevailing in the country. Nearly everybody is more or less under the weather. In spite of the stormy weather last Friday the auction at S. W. Johnson's was pretty well attended. Mr. Johnson has rented a farm near Graceville and intends to remove there with his family. We are sorry to see you go, Sam. School will commence in Dist. 25 on Monday, March 30, with Lina Slaturn as teacher. Some of our young men will soon depart for Canada to locate on their homesteads. We wish the boys success. Mrs. O. Reece has rented her farm to John Nelson for a term of five years. Hans Halvorson, who has been very sick for some time, is reported better. Leo is a working man and has not much chance for picking up news and people are grumbling because Lake Andrew news do not appear in the Tribune as regular as they ought to. I wish you "kickers" would give the news to Leo, you all know where he can be found. LEO. Gennessee. C.-M. Carlson has invested in a $200 team of horses, which he purchased at Minneapolis. Mr. Carlson and son started by team from Minneapolis Tuesday morning. and reached -. Atwater on Wednesday evening, making the trip in two days. Miss Esther Gallinger returned to Mike Wheeler's last week after spending a few weeks at her home. In spite of the muddy roads, quite a few of the farmers attended the auction sale at O. M. Peterson's east of Atwater. Everything was sold at high prices. Horses sold as high as $163. Miss Delia Bossell went to Atwater on Friday where she will work at the American House. M. A. Anderson spent Sunday afternoon at N. O. Anderson's. Are you going to Atwater the 1st of April and have the honor of waving your hat and give three cheers for President Roosevelt? The people of Gennessee are quite busy trying to find out who Kalle is, but we can tell you that he is the one you least think. He is an "Ulf fara killer." If there is anyone who has some special news to tell Kalle about and can not find out who it is, why we would be more than pleased to see an correspondent from Gennessee. The more news the better for it. What would the Tribune be without news! It would be of little or no use. If two will correspond from Gennessee, Far the better it will be. For far and near is the Tribune read, in And always praises about it said. TWICE-A-WEEK WILL MARRY TRUNK Thorpe. March 23. Services in the Baptist church next Sunday forenoon and evening. M. W. A. meets at Thorpe next Saturday evening. The people are talking of taking a steamboat excursion to Hutchinson this Coming summer. Waldo Johnson went to Minneapolis last week. N. Rosenmeier has been quite ill for some time. Casper Lobnitz bought a fine top buggy at Water Saturday. A friend of Halvor Fritzwold arrived here from Norway a few days ago. Jerry Johnson has bought a fine stallion. Edwin Johnson has quit carrying the mail. Mrs. J. A. Vick is much better now. She expects to be well again in a short time. Ole Johnson bought a fine horse a few days ago in Lake Lillian from his brother Gustav. Mrs. Mary Anderson returned from the cities Tuesday last week. C. Hubsch was on the sick list last week he is better now. Miss Clara Owre is home from St. Paul on a visit. Hans Peterson went to Bird Island Saturday for a new feed mill. He expects to be grinding feed again in a short time. Friday the farmers received their checks from the creamery. Nearly $200 was cashed the same day at Johnson & Mikelson's store. Miss Amanda Aspaas of Lake Lillian, who has been staying at Mrs. Mary Anderson's place for some time, left for home Thursday. A new arrival at East Lake Lillian is C. C. Hoffmeister, who has rented the north Minneapolis farm formerly occupied by Thos. Dunn. Mr. Dunn, we understand, has rented a farm in Cosmos. The mail carrier had a hard time of it last week. Thursday he started out but had to give up the trip. Friday he went to Atwater and then waited till Saturday for the east mail before starting for home. The roads are almost impassable now. Christopher Johnson went to Bird Island with eggs Saturday. The hens at Thorpe lay extra hard eggs. C. Johnson and H. A. Lobnitz sent a bunch of cattle to Atwater first part. of last week. The phone out this way is badly in need of repairing. Thorpe is just about closed out from the rest of the world. This state of affairs is satisfactory neither to rubber-necks nor anybody else. A new firm has started a grocery and dry goods store in Mary Anderson's building, under the name of Anderson & Strom. We do not know if the firm is a partnership or a corporation. We are glad to see a new star on the Tribune firmament, but there are many places in the county where we hear nothing from. Brace up, some of you young fellows or school ma'ams, and let us have some of your good news! Don't keep it all to yourselves. In most of the towns, two correspondents could find plenty of news, with the exception perhaps of Lake Elizabeth, it must be a gold pen they have there, it never seems to rust or wear out. HORACE.

The patrons of the Georgeville Creamery Association are getting up a club order for prison twine prices are quite a few cantaloupe local prices are a penny earner. All who want to join the club should address the secretary of Georgeville creamery. C. M. Christophers took a car load of stock to South St. Paul Monday. Grue.

The TRIBUNE was in error last week in reporting the advent of twins at the home of Rev. and Mrs. J. P. McCullough. It was an eight pound girl. The item was based on what was considered reliable authority. Through a misunderstanding, the report had been pretty generally circulated and the general pastor regards it all as a good joke innocently perpetrated by himself. Lutheran Bethel Church.
