Mrs. Jane G.. Swisshelm has written TO
the Chicago Tribune = lengthy letter strong
ly denouncing '.promiscuous kissing" We
are opposed to itself ourself-always have
been. But, at the same time, we don't
want any good-looking girls to come around

have the spirit of a man left in US we will
not submit to anything of that kind with
out showing a proper resentment.
In
pieces of red granite, quarried from Dams
farm near Sank river, have been brought

The Rev. E. v. Campbell writes a.
follows from Butler, NO.: 'Times here
are terribly hard, and hundreds of horses,
COWS and hogs are dying from starvation
the bug, the grasahopper and the drought
cutting of all the crops last season, and a.
the farmers have no money they cannot
buy. The winter has bsen very pleasant
and 90, favorable to. fsed-and now We have
the prospect of spring. It is a,gt.l muddy
just now, but We are willing to wade through
mud to have spring come. You doubtless
are still showed up, though anxious to ct
rid fit. After all, am not sure but that
like the snow better"
Charles Ogdell has brought suit against
the city of Brainerd for injuries received
by falling through, over or into an open
sidewalk on the night of January 10Th. 1t
appears that house was being moved and
the sidewalk had been taken mp to make
an opening for it. Ogdsll claims that he
has "sufered great pain andinconvenience''
from the injuries received, that he has
been under the care of physicians and that
he is permanently damaged" he thinks
$1,000 would make him about right again.
The case will come ON at the April term
of the District Court, before Judge Stearns.
In this connection we would remark that
unless more care is taken with the sidewalk.
in this city, our people may be called upon
some day to pay heavy bill of damages.
There are good many places where lea
could be broken or other serious injuries
received from \ fall. The law requires the
sidewalks Of city to be "kept free from
all defects and obstructions!"
