In honor of Misses Mary and Nellie^ McSwiggan of Chicago, the Masses Knox very pleasantly entertained a number of their young friends at the home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Knox, south of town, last Thursday evening.

The pastor and parishioners of St. Mary's Catholic church are indebted to Everett Hunter for the fine job of painting on the cross which now adorns the steeple of St. Mary's edifice.
