A column notes local and visiting residents, marriages, sales, and community events. Reports include Billy Sunday earning 7000 dollars for evangelistic work, the Algona postmaster resigning, a Trinity Guild market, a high school debating contest, and several moves, visits, and health notes from Emmetsburg and surrounding towns.
The death of Herbert C. Shadbolt near the end of the year shocks Emmetsburg. Born 1834 in Sheboygan, he built a leading lumber business after arriving in 1878, served on the city council and school board, and supported numerous civic groups. His funeral drew large processions and honors from Masons, Redmen, Elks, and Eastern Star. He leaves a daughter in Los Angeles and a wide circle of relatives.
