The Goodhue volunteer. [volume] (Red Wing, Goodhue County, Minn.) 1861-1864, 1863-11-04

truthful and complimentary notice Of Red
wing, in q communication Of correspon.
dent to the Wiuona Republican,:
We were disappointed in the enterprise and
trade OF Red Wing. Its streets present an ap-
pearance nearer like those Of Winona than
those OF any other town We have visited in the
State. Were it not for the low stage of water,
they would be blocked up with wheat-laden
wagons. AS it is, wheat buyers arc numerous
and mercantile houses busy. Six thousand
bushels are frequently taken in day.
Ham!ine University, situated here, is in a
1ourshing condition.. Over one hundred STU
dents arc now in attendance, and the number is
steadily increasing.
The town has five church edifces Methodist
Presbyterian, Episcopalian, German vetho-
dist, and Roman Catholic. It's Court House is
private residences gre considerably above the
average Of western towns.

WAREHoUsSs.-When the several ware
houses on the levee were in course of con-
struction,it was often remarked they will
never bs filled with grain Last winter
they were crowded full, and Messrs. Shell
don 4 Hodgman were compelled to build a
new ore on Plum street. They are now
at work erecting still another, or, rather, an
, addition to the last named one. We have
got to have more warehouse room. 1t is NO
use talking, We have got to take care Of all
the grain that is raised in the country, and
we may az we'll commence now, to look out
for warehouse room, as to leave it until
every foot Of storage room is occupied.
