Capt. George Kubie, OF tennessee, lat
present) favors us with valuable southern
papers. The rain of last night Monday
was very heavy, though not re-damaging
McGregor property: fortunately it is cool
weather and the harvest will not be hurt if
the elements behave we'll from this time
to the close of the month. ....H. B. George

Mr.. STIrFLER, young gentleman who is
educating himself in an Illinois Theologic-
al Institute, is spending his vacation at
McGregor; his sermons at the Baptist
Church are said, by judges, to indicate tact,
talent, true religious fervor and excellent
sense we know him to be most agreeable
company. Judge Baugh is collecting
Bounty money at low commissions; his
business connections at Washington give
him very decided advantages both in econ
omy and promptness......The Lutherans
had very pleasant Sabbath School picnic
at Bass Addition, on Thursday last. o.

of stock last week. This firm is doing a
large business in the horse exchange ;
they sold two mares at $500; two at $500;
two at s43O and one gelding for $780,
Pcarsall informs us that the southern de-
mand for horses is active and this accounts
for the stiff price up this way...a.FALEs is
our creditor for splendid specimen Of
Montana gold and a highly ornamented
pair of Idaho squaw moccasins. If Fales
don't quit these kindnesses we'll say some
thing about him......The depot at Cresco
is finished. THAYER, the boss-depot and
bridge builder is located at N. McGregor.

House square up to its old position while
G. II. was it boss. 1t is rumored that Mr..
Flanders will be Mt landlording again be-
fore long in McGregor more faithful

Gas Co. is talked of for this place. Mr..
Richmond, with L. Benton, can exhibit
figures which will convince all'of the profit
in the business. ....Dr. Hazletine is again
among us. His stay at the South was
brief, ill-health attending him most of the
time. We trust his second landing at
McGregor may result in planting him per-
manently as one of our professional men.
