to work vigorously when the warm days
shall come.

E. 0. WHEELER has nearly completed
the establishment of his door yard-the

Two men were fined last week for VIC
lating the city ordinance relative to fast
driving within the limits. We have no

The vicinity of Aurora, in Steele county,
was visited by severe hail storm last

not more than ten rods from the Postofficc.
