How to make paper which, while

fresh and spicy, full of joyfulness, yet
free from flippancy, is the problem
which at least seems to have been

uncompromisingly evangelical and
thoroughly religious in character, but
it is full of the spice Of life, and there
is not a dull line in it's pages. Mr..
Talmage's sermons are the solid meat
of the gospel, furnished in the unrivall-
ed manner Of the pastor of the Brook

THE WEATHER.
FIRE..

There was fire in LuVerne last
week which was, with difficulty, pre-
vented from burning the town. It be-
hooves our people to inquire what
means of protection we have against an
outbreak of fire in our midst. The City
Council should require that all hay and
straw sticks be removed from proxim-
ity to buildings, and that those who
bank up houses with stable manure
should cover it with earth or sand. One
house has been burned in this county
by sparks falling into stable manure
with which it was banked up. With so
many fires going, we are in constant
danger of Il confederation.

We learn that Mr.. Howard, the ex-
tensiey wheat buyer of Sioux Falls, in
tends to market his grain at Worthing-
ton hereafter. He keeps from 20 to 40
teams on the road and has heretofore
hauled to Sibley. Another fact sug.
gestive Of the advantages and impor-
lance of this point is that the Spirit
Lake wheat, which heretofore went
mainly to Window, is now coming here
in large quantities.
