school house,
F.C. Brace, the jeweler, had the misfortune to lose about $30
worth of fine hand-printed Pickard china last Thursday. In some manner the
fixtures supporting the curtain at the window in which they were displayed,
became loose and let one end of the curtain down shattering the fragile ware.
Had the heavy curtain come down altogether the damage would have amounted to a
great deal more, as several expensive pieces of ware escaped which otherwise
would have been broken.
Union Meeting Well Attended
The union meeting held at the Methodist church last Sunday
night was attended by an immense congregation, the vast auditorium and gallery
being crowded to such an extent that it was necessary to throw open the Sunday
School room. Mrs. Bessie Lay Scovell, state president of the W.C.T.U., was
present and addressed the meeting and an awakened interest in the temperance
movement was the result. Mrs. Scovell also addressed the ladies of the W.C.T.U.
at the home of Mrs. Ray Humiston on Saturday afternoon. She is an interesting
and entertaining talker and is thoroughly conversant with her subject.
IN SOCIAL CIRCLES
Doings in
Despite the blizzards and inclement weather conditions, there
has been considerable activity in
Mrs. E.K. Smith entertained Monday afternoon at a
Washington's birthday luncheon. The dining room and parlor were tastily
decorated with the national colors and place cards bore two handsomely
lithographed American flags, while an artificial cherry tree in the center of
the dining table completed the decorations and added a unique feature to the
pretty luncheon. About twenty-five ladies enjoyed the hospitality of the
hostess, and the elaborate luncheon was daintily served by Misses Julia Town and
Bernice Weidman.
Mrs. Smith will again entertain this afternoon at

honor of Edward's birthday and the tots passed the time in games, etc., after
which a very pretty dinner was served.
Saturday marked the twentieth milestone in the married life
of Mr. and Mrs. W.I. Humiston, and the event was fittingly celebrated by this
couple with a supper. About twenty-five neighbors and friends were present,
among them being some of the pioneers of the county. After an evening spent in
pleasant social intercourse the guests regretfully departed wishing Mr. and Mrs.
Humiston many happy returns of their anniversary.
Editor Mattison Weds
M.A. Mattison, editor of the Rushmore Enterprise, was married
last Wednesday at
As the event took place while the blizzard was in the height
of its fury it was attended by many difficulties principle among which was the
enforced postponement for two days and an overland walk of several miles to
secure a marriage license, but we hope that this will in no way affect the
future and upon behalf of the newspaper fraternity of the county we extend our
heartiest congratulations and wishes for a long and happy wedded life.
Mr. and Mrs. Mattison have gone to housekeeping at Rushmore
and will be at home to their friends after March 15th.
Erwin-Helms
William C. Erwin, of this city, and Miss Lelia Helms, of
Brewster, were united in marriage at the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. C.C. Erwin, Wednesday evening,
Promptly at the hour set for the ceremony, the bridal couple
entered the prettily decorated rooms to the strains of the wedding march played
by Mrs. D.E. Hutton. The bride was attended by her maid, Miss Effie Erwin,
sister of the groom, while the groom was attended by Mr. Bernard Edstrom as best
man.
Rev. G.A. Cahoon, pastor of the Methodist church, performed
the impressive ceremony, which was witnessed by about sixty invited guests.
After the bride and groom had received the congratulations of the friends
assembled, a bounteous wedding supper was served.
Many useful and choice gifts were presented to the newly
wedded pair. Mr. and Mrs. Erwin will reside on the large farm west of this city,
owned by the groom's father.
New Presbyterian Pastor

the Presbyterian pulpit, leaves for
Prior to Dr. Jenning's brief stay at Battle Creek, he was for
nearly two years pastor of the Presbyterian church at Marion, Iowa, and for more
than seven years prior to his pastorate at Marion, was pastor of the
Presbyterian church of Brookings, S.D. Dr. Jennings is a very able speaker and
the people of Worthington are fortunate in securing him as a resident and
pastor.
Pastor Resigns
Rev. William Fletcher last week tendered his resignation as
pastor of the Congregational church, and at the meeting of the church board last
Thursday evening the resignation was accepted. Neither pastor nor church have as
yet announced their future plans, but as the resignation does not go into effect
for three months each will have abundant time to make necessary arrangements. So
for as can be ascertained no cause is assigned for the sudden action upon the
part of the pastor except a desire for a change of field.

The rural carriers were unable to cover their routes Tuesday
morning owing to the fact that the tracts were drifted from the snowstorm of the
night before. Bob Davis, carrier on Route 5, attempted to go over his course,
but after tipping over twice, decided that it were better to return home and
wait until the roads were in better shape. Had the storm of Monday night been
attended with the wind that has characterized the other two blizzards it would
be a matter of conjecture just how long the patrons of the rural routes would
have been without service. As it was, with only a light wind the drifts in
places were sufficient to effectually close the roads and paths that had been
made after the second storm.
