A Nice Christmas Present
Born to Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Geer, last night, a little baby girl. Mr. Geer left a few days ago for Nebraska and was not due to return until tonight. He will have the sweetest little Christmas package presented to him when he reaches home, and quite in the nature of a surprise, as he has not been made aware of the interesting event that has transpired in his domestic affairs in his absence. Mrs. Geer's mother arrived this morning and is forming the acquaintance of her new grandchild. -- Betoit, Kan., Daily Call, Dec. 22.
