Still Need That Auditorium.
A number of our young people at
tended a dance given in an empty
| store room at Berkley last Saturday
1 night. Wood has no empty buildings
. nor even an empty room, neither is
our much talked of Auditorium com
-1 pleted yet, and there is absolutely no
place to have a dance or other gather
ing. Most of the surrounding towns
have no public hall but nearly all
have empty store rooms which ran be
I used for dances etc. We are glad to
note that there are no empty build
ings in Wood, and personally we
hope there never will be, but I hat
does not dispose of the fact that we
do need that Auditorium, and we
need it bad almost eveiy w»»ek. New
honestly, don’t you think that if we
would get right down to business
and work together that we could get
that Auditorium and have ecmething
doing in Wood in the amusement
line every once in a while? It is wor
thy your serious consideration.
A German Colony For Wo»d.
Guenthner Bros., of Dallas were
here last Thursday aud Friday with
a -party of thirteen Germans from
Hutchinson county. South Dakota,
and a majority of them bought re
linquishments and deeded laud with
in a few miles of Wood. Some time
ago these same people located a small
colony of nine families north east of
town, which now* gives the German
colony in this section of the county a
good start. It is estimated that there
will be at least one hundred families
of these Germans locate near Wood
before the middle of the summer.
They are all sturdy, successful farm
ers, who will help develop these fer
tile lands and make Mellette county
blossom like a rose. These people are
devout Lutberns, and it will not be
long until they have a church build
ing after they locale here. We are
glad to see them coming in for it
means a more rapid development of
thia new country, as they are expert
farmers, stayers and not easily dis •
cogged.
