FEELS HAPPY ALTHOUGH DEFEATED.
Although defeated for County Sheriff, Albert Liebzeit apparently is quite

sleep thinking about election, lost 2 front teeth and a lot of hair in personal encounter
with the opponent, donated one beef, four shoats and five sheep to a county barbecue, gave away two
pairs of suspenders, four calico dresses, $5.00 in cash and thirteen baby rattles, kissed 126
babies, kindled 14 kitchen fires, put up four stoves, walked 4076 miles, shook hands with 9508
people, told 10,101 lies and talked enough for 1000 volumes, attended 16 Socialist meetings
and was baptized four different times. Contributed $50.00 to foreign missions and made love
to nine grass widows, hugged 48 old maids, got dog bit 39 times and was defeated.

Saturday evening, January 15, was a jolly evening for the majority of the
Braun Settlement people.
January 6, Herman Damrow was quietly married to Miss Selma Pearson at
Cannon Falls, Minn., so when they came back home Sunday, January 9th, a large crowd gathered and
gave them a noisy reception with music from cow bells, dish pans , shot guns and other contraptions
for which they received some real "long green" something that is very scarce at the
present time.
So the question soon arose what to do with the cash.
Some thought it would be handy to pay taxes with, other cigars, others
thought it would be fine to buy eats as "drinks" are out of the question.
Ice cream and wieners were decided on to be bought and the ladies to
furnish cake and sandwiches and then have a real evening like "years ago".
So they decided to gather large sleigh loads of people and go to the
George Braun place, he being an old bachelor and would be glad to enjoy an evening with a social
bunch of jolly neighbors as Braun Settlement is proud of boasting to have.
Saturday evening about sixty-five people gathered and did good justice to
the large supply of cake and coffee greatly missing the "old keg".
But the music furnished by the Pathe and Accordian, the evening was greatly
enjoyed by all.
The guests departed in the early hours wishing that some one would soon
give another donation.
May 19, 1921

factory.
Their many friends join the Gleaner in extending best wishes for many years
of happy wedded life.
