OUR CREAMERY'S
GRAND OPENING
Will be held Tuesday, December 19
—Music Refreshments, Speaking
etc. in Faust's Hall
The officers of the Pierz Co-operative
Association decided at their meeting
last Sunday evening, that the opening
tor business of the creamery which
will be Monday December 18, should
be followed the next day Tuesday
December 19, by a general celebration
and getting together in Faust's
hall. The committee appointed on
general arrangements met again Tuesday evening to form a more definite
plan for the occasion.
At this meeting Theodore Thielen
presided as chairman, while F. X.
Virnig acted as secretary. Christ
Faust was appointed to see that music
be furnished. Jake Pflepson, Theodore Thielen and E. H. Kerkhoff were
appointed to secure speakers on dairying and kindred subjects. Jake Pflepson, F. X. Virnig, Jos. H. Grell and
Herman Faust were appointed as a
committee to look after refreshments.
Wm. Meyer agreed to see that the donation of a keg or two would not be
lacking.
Joseph H. Grell will furnish the
coffee and F. X. Virnig the sugar;
"Will Meyer and Christ Faust will furnish the milk. E. H. Kerkhoff was appointed to see that cups, saucers, etc.
be furnished.
While no definite progn,:n has been
arranged, suggestions offered at the
meeting Tuesday evening lead us to
forecast that about one o'clock there
-will probably be a march, accompanied by the band, to the creamery
for a general inspection. Returning
to the hall, the speakers,orchestra,etc.
will entertain the crowd the remainder of the afternoon.
One feature of this celebration
worthy of mention will be the Pierz
Co-operative creamev3' butter. Mr.
Pflepson has promised to churn Monday's cream into butter prints in time
to be served in the hall Tuesday afternoon.
Further particulars will be made
in next week's Journal.

I more than appreciate the interest
that people take in regular attendance.
The list sure shows that most of the
people are for education. But there
are always a few black sheep in the
flock who cause the shepherd consid-
erble trouble. He is hoping that they
also wake up soon and do their duty.
Santa Claus paid a visit Tuesday afternoon and distributed gifts among
the children which was very much
enjoyed by all present.
