L ~ ossrS.F LOWatef ~ Cole are moving
into their new store in the new hotel
building, and things already begin to
assume a most attractive appearance.
Mr.. j. F. En- has sold out his gro-
Gerry store to w. S. Grow and SON. Mr..
Grow will move into the city and assist
his son, lately from Chicago, in con-
Quoting the business. Mr.. Grow, Jr.,
was formerly clerk in Jones s. Coles
book store in this city, but has been 70:
several years engaged in one of the first
grocery stores of Chicago, and his ex-
perience in, and knowledge of the
wholesale business Of that city, will
doubtless give him great advantage in
buying. He is young man of; good
business ability and of kindly bearing.
W. S: Grow, ST., is too we'll known to
need an introduction, he is one of the
very early settlers Of the County, is
now Master of the County Council P.
of H., and County Lecturer, and he
will enter into his new calling with
determination to succeed.
We have had the pleasure Of glanc-
ing over the rich bill of fare to be
served up by the Red Wing Musical
Association to the music loving of this
city and vicinity tomorrow, Wednes-
day evening at 8 o'clock. Among the
many good things we notice the follow

solo and quartette, "Silver Threads
among the Gold" by Mrs. D. NJ. Bald
win, Miss Hattie Cox, Prof. S. Ray
mond and DR.. F. A. Williamson.
From glimpse behind the scenes we
judge that some Of the best pieces are
kept in the back ground for the encore,
so let every one 60 prepared to come
down heavy and if every mothers son
and daughter does not get more than
his Or her moneys worth of enjoyment
we are no prophet. We understand
that tickets are yet to be had at the
Music store of Mr.. Halves.

From the church the body was taken to
