And all are feeling glad;

For the truth it must be told:
The finest in the city

A GOOD substantial barn has recently
been erected by Mr.. L. Skinner, on his
farm in Florence township, in this coun-
ty. It is 32x42 feet, with stone base
ment underneath. In the basement are
four double stalls for horses and eight
for cattle. 1t was built by Mr.. j. Spin
ney. There is a pump in the barn
which affords water for the stock.
If our readers will refrain from buy
ing Christmas gifts till after next week
we will try to tell them where to buy the
best and cheapest; but, if they must
buy earlier, we refer them to our adver-
Using columns and local notices. Of
course, we hope they will patronize those
who patronize US, and we know that
those who advertise with US can sell
cheapest because they sell the most.
VIZ understand that the Red Wing
Historical Society has sent force to
the site of ancient Troy, with instruc-
t'ons to carry on extensive excavations
for the purpose of exhuming the remains
of the wooden horse in which the Greek
scoundrels struggled themselves into
that doomed city. It is expected that
the recovered animal will be sent hither
in sections as soon as it is dug out.
