HARTINGTON — The firm of Nelson and Roskopf has been sold out to Lee Miller and Lee Conant. Mr. Miller needs no introduction to Hartington and vicinity people, having lived here and near this town nearly his entire life.
He is an honest and upright type of man such as the best we have in this community and it stands without doubt with all his friends to support him and his business will be a success. Mr. Conant recently came from Kimball, S.Dak. where he has conducted the same business for 16 years without stop, which speaks for him as a stayer. He is equally well thought of where he comes from as Mr. Miller is here. So the two men together will no doubt make a good team.

HARTINGTON — A very interesting and profitable convention of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union of Cedar County was held at the Congregational Church in Hartington Thursday afternoon.
There was a good attendance from the different unions of the county, Coleridge sending an especially strong delegation.
Three papers were read, all of which were full of interest. One on “Americanization” prepared by Mrs.
A.M. Nelson, was read by Mrs. S.A.
Willard. Mrs. Wallace of Coleridge gave a comprehensive review of the union in foreign lands.
Mrs. Ready of Hartington had the unique subject of “The W.CT.U. and Everything,” and told of the interests of women as citizens and as mothers.

HARTINGTON — Weighted down with a nice big goose egg, the sole fruit of the game with Randolph High last Friday afternoon, the local eleven trudged home that evening in anything but a joyful frame of mind.
It was their first real defeat of the season, however, and the boys agree that the other fellows won by playing every minute of the time after Doc Peters gave the word to start. The locals simply lacked pop.
The game was played in the baseball park, which is decorated with a number of holes, the location of which it was impossible for the local boys to remember. It just happened that they were so situated as to break up what would have been a number of good plays. The locals were accompanied by a small crowd of rooters who did their best to cheer the boys to victory, but it was an impossible task.
