The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1875-06-22

&..ss.Zl klehack's Is. Cream Parlors
are a most cool and pleasant resort
these hot days. i
MIR. Geo. W. Richardson will please
accept the thanks of the editor and FAM
lily for quart of delicious strawberries
left on our table last Saturday. They
were large; perfect and delicious. We
understand that Mr.. Richardson has
his headquarters this season with W.
H. Grow, on Plumb Street.
One Of Babcock's Fire Extinguishers
arrived in our city Sunday evening. It
is furnished with four common hand ex-
tinguishers, with ladders and hooks and
with one hundred gallon tank. The
wagon is of the very best quality, and
the machine of very fine appearance.
The cost of the whole apparatus is
$l,546, and looks to be worth the mon
ey. 1t is not to be accepted by the
city until it has been tested.
Mr.. F. Joss was engaged on Monday
in stalking off the grounds for his new
residence on Third St. The plans
were drawn by the leading architect Of
St. Paul, and are elegant and most con-
venient in design. The first floor will
stand four feet above the street, the
house will be brick veneered, two
stories, attic windows, will be furnished
with veranda, fine bay window, in a
word built in the most improved modern
style, and will be an ornament to the
city. Mr.. D. G. Hill has the contract.
The Temple of Honor and the Good
Templar lodge will join in a grand fes-
tival in the dedication of their new hall
in the new Post Office building,
Wednesday evening, June 30th. There
will be music provided, and fun in
abundance. Everybody is invited to
come and bring his wife, sweetheart,
and any other friends or enemies, and
have good enjoyable time.
Mr.. John Day has just burned a
large brick kiln, and now has some
100000 Of the best quality of brick
ready to deliver to any who may wish
them. He proposes to sell his brick at
greatly reduced prices, he is no monop-
olist, nor member of any ring, but is a
regular " Granger for low prices and
proposes to sell directly to the consumer
for just as small margin as possible
and all who want brick had better come
right along for they will doubtless go
like hot cakes.
The Fireman's excursion, as far as a
good time was concerned, was success.
Financially it cost the boys about $40
over receipts. The boat left our land
ing at about 9 o'clock decked out with
flags and trimmed with green bushes.
During the night dancing and music
was INDUCED in, the day was passed in
sight seeing, and the night again passed
in tripping the light fantastic toe by
those who were so inclined. The ex-
cursion stopped about FIVE hours at
Saltwater, on the return, and helped
extinguish fire. All report an enjoy
able time.
Zirkleback makes the best display
of fire works of any man in the city.
He has large stock, and is pre-
pared to fill all orders for parties OF
persons who wish to be patriotic.
We notice that the celebrated artist,
J. D. Kellogg, has a revolving show
case near Sandford's Office, displaying a
large variety of photographs in a pleas.
ing manner. The pictures include ma.
ny well known citizens of Red Wing,
and those who insps It them can judge
whether they are life like and retain the
actual expression Of the originals. In
our judgment they are as near perfec.
ton in these respects as any we have
ever seen. They are clear and sharp,
and have remarkable delicacy and per.
lection seen only in the very best work.
The people of Goodhue County may
justly feel grati6ed with the quality Of
pictures taken by Mr.. Kellogg. He is
always up with the times in his profes.
sion, spending great deal of time and
money in learning all new and improved
methods and procuring the best appar.
atus. His room is on the corner Of
