skeptical; still we are going to con-

who will call at F. A. Poole's, Hawley
& Kellogg's or any other Drug Store
and purchase bottle of HALE's CouGH
CORDIAL, use one-half of it, and if they
then conclude that it is doing them no
good, they can return the balance and
receive back their money. Who would
not test this medicine on, such liberal
terms? No medicine ever sold in this

results. All we ask is that you will

HORSE THIEF sCApTURED.-On last
Friday evening q young man arrived
here from st. Paul and stopped at the
Lyons house. He gave his name Geo.
Davidson, and attracted attention by his
peculiar conduct. He had in his pos
session handsome mare, which he sold
to Alonzo Matthews for $40 and a
watch: Meanwhile telegram had been
received by Marshal DeKay from St.
Paul, giving the description of man
named R. L. Cummings, who had left
that city and was believed to have stolen
mare belonging to 4 Mr.. Carleton, but
taken from the farm Of D. A. j. Baker,
near that city. Davidson answered the
description given Of Cummings and
Messrs. D. D. Whimple, w. Flynn, P.
Hennelly and E.. Lyons arrested him
and handed him over to the authorities
for lodgment in Jail. Subsequently Mr..
Carleton, Of St. Paul, having been tel
egraphed to, cume on here in company
with officer Brissette, and on seeing that
he was caught, Cummings confessed the
crime and was taken back to St. Paul.

pleasant winter we must be satisfied
with a long one. Those who are MAX
ing sugar will not think this last snow
storm blessing. It will make a late
spring, but when it does come we may
expect it on the jump. Some Of our far
mers were sowing their wheat last year
at this time, while now it looks like {.
week Of shedding.
Our merchants have on hand a full
stock of new goods, and their terms are
quite reasonable.
H. Hall is away on business.
Our Sunday school seems to be on the
decline. Is it owing to the scholars or
the teachers?
Nero Bros, of Diamond Bluff, are
building another warehouse, in that
place, while here in Trenton, with as
good country back Of it, we cannot
support more than one. When we had
two stores running, each Of them did
more business than the one that is now
running, and it would be the same with
warehouses.
VIM. Shaner offers his farm for sale
Will is like a good many others, as soon
as they get in fair circumstances they
want to sell out, yet well they know ga
rolling stone gathers no moss.''
It is reported that Mr.. VIM. Minor, Of
Bay City, and Miss Nellie Burgess Of
this place will be married soon. They
will give marriage feast at the resi-.
dence Of the bridegroom's father. The
boys will serenade them on the eve of
their wedding.
Tony Bragg has sold his farm and has
gone to reside in Red Wing.
Our roads are overaowed in many
places with water from the high table,

Ducks are now flying north which is a
sure sign that spring is near at hand.
