L1h lIOCNG. Va [uHulOVA. SaAlCN up-
on US one day last week and reported the
Zumbrota Grange in. a prosperous condi-
ton. At their last meeting they discussed
the question of the best qualities Of wheat
to raise, and at their next meeting the dis
cussion is upon the cost per acre of raising
wheat. More of such discussions in the
Oranges would be proftable.and interesting
to the meetings
THE NJ. f. Sociable this week was
held at the residence Of Capt. 0. Eams.
Quite a large number went dawn from Red
Wing, and for real enjoyment it was the
best sociable we ever attended. Twenty
two persons went down in the bus, and the
pressure to the square inch was about one
hundred pounds, to the best Of our judge
ment. One of the editors GRANGE ADVANCE
went along to superntend the crowd.
MANUFACTURERS manufacture
OF sleigh shoes appears to be quite an inn
portant branch Of manufacturing carried
ON in this city. Densmore Bros. have so
far, this season cast and sold 80 tons OF
these articles, but which can be better un-
derstood when it is known that there were
enough to shoe GS2 sets Of runners. The
value Of this one item of their business was
about $4,000. Last year this firm manu-
featured only IA tons, making an increase
for this year Of Is tons.
MARBLE WoRKs-Mr. Carlson pro-
poses to add to his business the coming
season that Of marble cutting, and for that
purpose has secured the services of compe-
tent workmen. We have no doubt that in
short time it will be most remunerative
investment, and our only wonder is that so
arge section as Goodhue County has not
been represented by this branch of industry
Our people will not now be obliged to send
abroad for the various articles of marble
work.
