ORDER OF EAGLES | WILL GIVE DANCE | EEN Faster Monday Has Been Decided Upon As the Date For Fourth Aniual Ball. April 20 will be Easter Monday, and on that date the Fraternal Order of Eagles of Grand-Rapids will give Wm. Hurlburt of Deer River, came down tothe county seat Wednesday with Frank Faulknor, who was sutter- ‘surance that tlie ‘one now planned corded to‘their credit is ample. as- will prove equally delightful in every respect. The Fraternal Order of Eagles is one of the most worthy or- ganization in the country and ‘has already grown to be one of the strong, est. Since its institution in Grand Rapids the charitable work it has done in the care and relief of its members in distress has certainly been second to none in this commun- ity. Every members is cared, for while in sickness and when the final summons comes to a brother Eagle he is laid to rest under the fraternal auspices of the order. No member in good standing is ever permitted to become a public charge, no matter what his financial standing may be. The people should be interested in giving this worthy order all possible encouragement and show apprecia- tion of its guod work by giving the annual ball and supper a liberal patronage. It is unnecessary to add that the Grand Rapids orchestra bas been engaged to furnish music and that the supper will be most excel- lent. TALK OF ANOTHER VILLAGE TICKET <-s The announcement is made in the In- dependent that there is to be another ticket in the field Tuesday in opposition to that nominated last Wednesday even- ing. C. M. Erskine will head the aggregation and probably James Dorn will be on for recorder. It it is possible for the One-Idea boys to induce a sufficient number of citizens to permit the use of their names a tull new ticket will be placed upon the political market, according to report, If not, the leaders will appropriate a portion of the ticket nominated at the regular caucus. If Mr. Erskine and his associates can make no_ better showing at the polls than he did at the caucus he will have no reason to flatter himself with the idea that he has a great many political friends or sympathizers with the principles which he is supposed to represent. The Herald-Review is of the opinion that the tew people who are so loudly de- manding a change in municipal ad. ministration affairs will feel ashamed of themselves when the present campaign | is at a close, and they find that Grand Rapids is the best, regulated town ia} northern Minnesota. So far as the} enforcement and observance of the liquor Jaws are concerned, this town today stands at the forefront of any in this section. of the state. And so it will continue.

ANOTHER VILLAGE IS INCORPORATED Vote Taken Last Monday Which Organizes Holman Village, Near Taconite. Last Monday the people resident on tke northwest quarter of the nortb- east quarter of section 27, town 56 north, range 24 west, voted on the proposition of organizing the terri- tory described into a corpurate vill- agge. There were fifty-seven votes cast, all in favor of incorporation. The new village of Holman is located cluse to the mine of that name from which it naturally draws a_ business of considerable magnitude. The people there do not yet enjoy the | luxury of depot accommodations but the trains of the D. M. & Northern | stop in the town regularly, and itis expected that ina short time suitable buildiogs will be erected to take care of the freight and passengers, Some grading has already been done on reets, and Holman will rapidly assume a well organized appearauce, backed by an energetic citizenship.
