Two Lyle Boy Scouts received their Eagle Awards, the highest given in Scouting, in a special ceremony Oct. 20 at the Lyle Legion Hall.

Matthew Perry, 18, son of Roger and Barbara Perry, and Jeremy Sampson, 18, son of Gerald and Diane Sampson, all of Lyle, finished their work for the award this summer.

Perry is a graduate of Lyle High School. In Scouts, he was a patrol leader and received the Historic Trails and World Conservation awards. For his Eagle proj-ect, he set up a child registry.

A sudden thunderstorm July 7 whipped up a torrent of hard feelings in Lyle, Minn.

After the town's emergency warning system failed to sound a siren as a severe storm swept through the small town last Sunday, Mower County Sheriff Wayne Goodnature and Mower County Civil Defense Director Robert Nelson told Austin reporters that the siren in Lyle had been inoperable for some time.

Lyle Mayor Harold Rohne and Lyle City Council members are adamant that their system works and angry about the remarks. They say they did all they could and the storm came too quickly to do more.

Like other Lyle residents, Nancy Williamson was busy last week.

Saturday was a communitywide cleanup day, and she spent a good chunk of Friday preparing for the event. There were last-minute details to tend to.

Such as cleaning out her own garage.

Williamson had been drumming up publicity for the event, even outside of the Mower County community, which sits just north of the Iowa border.

-THAT KNIFE.- Yes, we know Ira Jones is the boss hardware man of Southern Minnesota. Although he carries an immense stock purchased from the largest houses of the east, yet this does not fill the bill. Even the trees yield up their hardware.

Seeding on Minnereka Farm was finished April 28th, and wheat sown on the 30th of last month looks nice and green.

We have been seeding down considerable of our land to tame grass, in view of our new stock law. Can that law be enforced? is a question we would like to have answered.
