An ice cream social will be held at the house of J. W. Furness on the evening of Thursday Aug. 27. The proceeds are to be given to the Christian Church in Magnet.

Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Swanson moved to Magnet Jan. 5, 1905, engaged in business.

Aug. 3, 1903 Magnet is going to have a blow out Saturday. Horse racing, ball game, a balloon ascension, a baby show, a circus and a big ball in the evening are the main features advertised. The Wausa Band will probably furnish music for the occasion.

Oct. 1, 1903, Saturday night a robbery took place in Magnet at the depot. With the aid of a poker, he broke into a gum machine and money drawer. The robber only getting $1.87. Mr. Peterson, depot agent, said the receipts for the day was over $125 but lucky enough he had taken the money to the bank that day. They never found out who done it but thought it was someone traveling through the country.

1903 - Magnet is doing without a saloon this year and the Magnet business people insist that they can notice no falling off in the volume of business in the city. Perhaps, after all, there is not as much in this talk about the necessity of having a saloon in a town to hold the trade as is really supposed.
