The football game at Alexandria last Saturday between the Glenwood high school team and the Alexandria high school team resulted in a score of 19 to 9 in Alexandria’s favor. The score stood 9 to 0 shortly before the end of the third quarter, but after that, a number of substitutions were made in the Glenwood team and as a result, the Alexandria team made three touchdowns the latter part of the game.

Miss Ella Lee has improved her shop in that she has fixed up the little balcony which was formerly used as an office and put in a very fine line of needle art work. This is a very pretty display and adds much to the attractiveness of the shop.
