"I'b1 bet that Belanger sells more
dry goods, boots and shoes, hats and
caps than any body else in the city :"
was the remark of one Of the hundreds
of customers of that gentleman recently.
"Why?" was the inquiry. "Because
he keeps a splendid assortment, sells
very cheap, and advertises in the
GRANGE ADVANCE, where every body
sees it,
The largest yield Of wheat we ever
heard of in the west is that grown by
Mr.. Johannes P. Larson, of this county.
The land was new timber grubbed and
broken last year, and Mr.. L. writes us:
~ have raised on my farm in Bear
Greek, on three acres of new broken
soil, one hundred and ffty-seven and
one-half bushels of No. l wheat
This is an average of 5219 bushels
per acre.
WHERE did you get that dress,
Tabitha?'' "Why at G. Belanger's
store on Main street, third door below
Plum. Everybody goes there. He
gets new goods almost every day and
sells cheaper than any one else" II
must get me one like it this very day."
"No you WON'T "Why?" "Be-
cause they sold this all out two days
ago. They don't keep their goods on
hand, because they buy them to sell,
and they sell them.
On last Sabbath morning Mrs. Ho-
bart addressed large congregation at
the Methodist Episcopal church, ON the
subject Of foreign missions. Her dis.
course, which was interspersed with &C.
counts Of the situations and circum-
| stances Of several missionaries, as con-
tanned in letters written home by them,
was highly interesting. After the lee
ture, subscriptions for the mission cause
were solicited, and the amount raised
was quite liberal. Mrs. Hobart seems
to be very Jealous and efficient worker
in this cause.

We had been somewhat surprised at
the il-natured remarks of the St. Paul
Pioneer-Press, respecting Cal. Wag-
ner's Minstrel Troupe, for the reason
that we knew Mr.. Wagner had always
hitherto run only a tirst-class show.
When the troupe arrived here, we de-
termined to see its performance and
judge for ourse]f whether the harsh
criticism, was just, and are now prepar-
ed to say that it was wholly undeserved.
Mr.. Wagner's present troupe is fully
equal to the high standard he has here
tnforo maintained ond ~ sor,o .o.A.
