Let those who know answer the question.
Where do they come from? Thirteen fami-
lies crossed the Mississippi on Saturday last, to
take possession of their homes West of the ri
yer. We learn that there is hardly day but
more or less are taking up their abode in Hen
nepin or the adjoining counties, but it is diff
cult to tell from what part of the world they
hail.
The first missionary that took up his abode
in Minnesota, was the Rev. E. F. Ely. He
came to Sandy Lake in 1892 We believe the
Rev. DR.. Williamson was the second preacher
that came into our midst.

learn that o. E. Garrison, Esq. has laid off a
town near the foot of tie second lake. on the
north side OF MinnetOnka, to be called Wayzata.
1t will be a place of considerable importance,
in time, as it is situated very near the geo.
