are three schools outside, having an attend

Like the boy who apologized to his father
for writing long letter, by saying, if he
had had more time he would have made it
shorter, so we may say if our time had
not been so very limited, we should have
given more facts in shorter space. The
prospects for Hastings are to-day brighter
than they have been for years. 1t has
rare opportunities for manufactures Of al
most any kind. There is plenty Of the
best of timber handy, and large amount
of unutilized water power. Itisa pity that
there should be a pound of it unemployed.
We are told that all the wheat bought at
Hastings is purchased with home capital.
They have capacity to store about $50, 900
bushels, and as there is but little, if any,
wheat shipped from this point in the win
ter they expect to be full before spring.

A Challenge.

We hereby challenge the Editorial fra
ternity of the entire globe. Hold, gentle
men, don't pull off your coats or slap your
editorial fists and recklessly threaten to
annihilate US on the first round. You mis-
take us, that is not what we meant. What
we were going to say is, that we challenge
the entire fraternity to produce an instance
of an editor receiving basket containing
twenty different varieties Of delicious cake.
Such = basket did we receive on. Monday
last, from the ladies of the Vasa, Grange.
All! now, gentlemen, you smack your lips
instead Of your fists, and wish you, were
on The. GRANGE ADVANCE. You also, per-
ceive now that we are not in fighting
mood-who would be after disposing of
such . basket full without leaving . crumb ?
The following little note, which came with
the basket, tells the whole story -.

Visit to Cereal Grange.

On Saturday afternoon last, we had the
pleasure of visiting Cereal Grange No. 25,
at Hastings. 1t was the occasion Of their
first monthly feast. We did not get there
in time to see and help them eat the good
things provided for the occasion, but we
had satisfactory assurances that they
proved themselves worthy Changers in this
respect. We regret that we were too late
to represent the Red Wing Grange at the
table. We know that if delegate had
been elected for that purpose, we should
have been chosen by unanimous vote, and
by acclamation at that, and we would have
been willing to guarantee highly success
full representation. This Grange numbers
about eighty three members, and additions
are being made to the number at every
meeting. The 4th degree was conferred
on several just before the feast. Immedi-
ately after there was an election of officers,
which resulted as follows:
R. A. Simmons-W. II.
L. C. Simmons -Overseer.
! Z. q. Johns0n-LectuTer.
L. L. Parsons-1reasurer.
| G. A. Baker-Chaplain.
! G. E. Dennis-Secretary.
The Worthy Master was empowered by
motion and vote to appoint the other off
GERS before the next meeting.
A salary Of twenty-five dollars per an.
mum was voted to the Secretary, and the
Grange adjourned.
P. S. We should have said the Grange
kindly permitted us to say few words fo,
IHE GRANGE ADVANCE. Now if there il
one thing that we like to do above all 9th
ers, it is to talk on that subject, and W,
ought to be able to do it, but judge of ou
chagrin upon being told after we go
through that Brother Byers could beat u
two to one on that subject. Go ahead

Farmer DOnnelly.

While in Dakota County last week, we
called, for the first time, upon the Usage Of
Nininger," Hon. Ignatius Donnelly. We
had seen so much ridicule made of the idea
that he is practical farmer, that we had
received the impression, he knew no more
about farming than the Persian Shah We
were therefore very much surprised to find
him engaged in killing and cleaning hogs
He had just dispatched one of the largest
Chester Whites we ever saw. Surrounded
as he is with all the necessaries and COM
forts Of life, having a magnificent farm, a
good house, we'll filled library, and every
thing that can make home pleasant, we
could not but wonder he had ever permit
ted himself to be tempted from the peace
full. rural shades, into the stormy and
tempestuous sea of politics. ...E .
Mrs.. Donnelly was not at home, but the
! Governor was expecting her shortly. She
has been down to Philadelphia having q
cataract removed from her oldest sons eye.
| Some two years ago the lad met with an
injury in the eye, caused by a blow from .
corn cob. He was taken to St. Paul at
once, and was said to have sustained an in
durable injury, the retina having been fa-
tally damaged. lie has been almost blind
for two years, but we are happy to say that
it is not so bad as was supposed, and the
removal of the cataract has made his eye
sight as good as it can be under those cir
cumstances. His parents are, of course,

occasion as contemplated in the resolution
Of last year, and that we earnestly exhort
our comrades who have not done so to send
on their dollar without delay. ..s
