Guy Waggoner returned early
this week from a three weeks ab-
sence. Two weeks were spent at
his homestead in New Mexico, on
which crops looked pretty promis-
ing, and a week was spent at his
father’s near Marshall.
Mr. and Mrs. S. Auckland, old
neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Mc-
Mullen back in the early days in
Iowa, arrived here Wednesday for a
visit. They all went to Lamont
yesterday to enjoy a day or two at
the annual bean bake and reunion
being held in that little city.
The infant babe of Mr. and Mrs. I
U. S. Blakley died at their home in
Billings, Monday, September 11th,
about noon, of summer complaint.
The remains were taken to Douglas,
Tuesday, and interred in a cemetery
seven miles south of that city. Mr.
Blakley and family moved here very
recently from Lamont. He is a
butcher by trade and is employed
at the Billings Meat Market.
Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Campbell,
who were visiting the former’s rela-
tives in Arkansas, were notified of
the serious condition of Orville San-
ders late last week and arrived here
Tuesday evening via Bliss.
J. E. McClure, living on the old
Frank Kammerdeiner farm, passed
through town Tuesday evening with
six tons of broomcorn, four wagon
loads, enroute to Lamont to deliver
the same to buyers that offered him
$70 per ton for it. It was good
brush but had been slightly dam-
aged in color. He received within
a few dollars a ton of the best price
being paid for this crop so far this
season. Mr. McClure is an old
broomcorn raiser and is well pleas-
ed with his first trial in this section
and intends to try it on an even
larger scale next season. He is well
repaid for his labor this year.
