Why would it not be good idea to
obtain special act by the Legislature
now in session, dividing our city into
three or four wards? Such division
of the city would certainly be great
convenience on election day. We be-
lieve that the city should be divided into
four wards, one for each subdivision of
the Red Wing School District, SO that
elections would be held ut each school
house.
\ number Of our young men are striv-
ng to see which can lay aside the larg
est sum in the Savings Bank. This is
much more commendable than the am
bition Of the young man who lately
killed himself by smoking twelve cigars

The subject of daily mail between
Cannon Falls and this city, is being
agitated at the former place. The Echo
says that petition for that purpose
will be found at the Post Office. Why
should not the citizens of Red Wing
join in this petition? 1t would certain
ly be a matter of convenience to many
Of our business men. We hope to see
the time when Cannon Falls and Red
Wing shall be united by railway and
closer business relations be established;
believing as we do that Cannon Falls is
to be one Of the most important inland
manufacturing towns in the State, we
shall certainly hail with pleasure any
thing that will tend to unite more close
ly our interests.
