– Henry A. Wilson of Powell Park has started the work of erecting a handsome residence on his ranch.
– As will be seen in this week’s Herald, “The Birth of a Nation” will be presented to the Meeker public on June 7th and 8th. Of necessity, the price of admission is double that of the usual big production. People have traveled miles to see “The Birth of a Nation” so Meeker is fortunate in a chance to see this wonderful photoplay at the comparative light cost of $1 per head.
– Mrs. Ed Fairfield expects to leave next Monday for Mayo’s hospital to undergo an operation. Her relatives and many friends here hope to see her home again in due season in good health.
