CLEARWATER.

CLEARWATER, Feb. %, 1876.
EDITOR JoURNAL.-At a meeting of the
'bone and sinew" of Clearwater and Vi
cinity, to take into consideration the pro-
priety of building = cheese factory,
Fuller & Blackburn. made 4 propo-
sitlon to build, equip" and run such fac
tory, which proposition was accepted, pro-
vided they can get the milk from 30oeows.
There will be little difficulty in that, 30
We may consider cheese factory fixed
fact.
Chas. F. Cummings has been quite i'll
for some time and is now able TO leave his
room. With returning spring We hope he
may feel returning strength.
Quite a number Of our citizens propose
to 20 to the Centennial, while those who
are not able to 60 to this, think they will
attend the next.
Tho Commissioners of Wright county
have accepted bid from Minneapolis
firm to build county court house at Buff
falo, for $25. 900, only ST., 900 less than the
highest bid for the same Job. The minori-
ty worked hard against putting so much
money into the building, as they thought
something less expensive would meet the
demand, but the majority couldn't see il. T"
Washington and Rice counties only have
better county buildings than are called for
by the specifications in question. To s.y
that the taxpayers will howl with dismay
at the next tax bills will be but q faint ex-
preston of their feelinrs.
A email alarm Of fire yesterday At David
Trafton's attracted some attention. It
proved to be only the burning Of . straw
bed which was too near 4 stove pipe.

THE 81. AUGUSTA SCHOOLS.
: A Reply to the Trustees and Others,

q. - = 52$a ST.. AUGUSTA, Feb. 2l,' 1876.
EDITOR JouRSAh-In reply to the let
ters of the trustees and teachers of School
Districts No. "a and SO of Stearns county
and the Roman Catholic priest of St. Paul,
we wish to say that the gentlemen do not
appear to understand our letter very we'll,
or they misrepresent it. They say more
than we said. Some of them act like mad
men. They must be hurt on sore spot.
Keep cool, gentlemen ! The object of our
letter was to defend our school system and
our rights; and the brave editors of the St.
Cloud JOURNAL, st. Paul Pioneer-P Pres
and the Minneapolis Tribune do the same.
Honor to them for braveIy defending our
school system.
The only direct charge we made against
the Roman Catholics was that they teach
their religion in the district schools of this
town. This we will not retract, but will
prove by affidavits Tor before a proper
COURT that this has been done from the
time of the first teacher till to-day, that is,
for IL or Is years.
Gentlemen trustees of said school dis.
tricts, you tell US to come to your meeting
on the 22d Of February, 1876. Lavle. +
ness! 1t is Washington's birthday, and IL
not a BUSINESS day.

A Toast.

Two Important Discoveries: The dis
covery of America by Columbus, and DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery the
one opening up to mankind a new CONT
nent, the other fountain of health, which
il indispensable to the full enjoyment Of
life and its blessings. In response to the
above sentiment come the unsolicited at
testations of tens of thousands of grateful
patients, who have been relieved of chron-
ic ailments through its fundamentally.
Those voices are limited to no one locali-
~, but from every city, village, and ham,
let, in our broad domain, Is we'll a. from
other climes, and in the strange utterances
Of foreign tongues, like the confused mur-
muir of many waters, come unfeigned and
hearty concentrations. 1t is, in combina-
ton with the Pleasant Purgative Pellets,
the great depurator of the age. Under its
benign action eruptions disappear, excess
i've waste is checked, the nerves are
strengthened, and health, long banished
from the system, resumes her reign, and re-
establishei her roseate throne upon the
cheek. All whs have thoroughly tested
its virtues in the diseases for which it is
recommended unite in pronouncing it the
great Medical Discovery of the age.

selaer, at Melrose. of consumption, Ed

some twenty months, and was At kansas

hemorrhage of the lungs, and was brought

warm-hearted, generous young man, who

The following is commended to the At
tention of the City Councils Special
Committee on Tree Planting and to the at
tention of our citizens generally:
In the village of Union Springs, N. Y,
tree planting society was formed many
years ago, and several hundred trees Of the
Sugar and Red Naples were planted along
the different streets. Nearly every autumn
these make . most gorgeous display of
crimson, scarlet, pink, and orange, in IN
ent modes Of blending. The absenc. Of
frost till late in autumn, owing to the prox.
unity of Cayuga Lake, increases the effect.
There are two or three trees of surpassing
splendor, which maintain this distinction
every year. Why would it not be Is de.
sirable to give n brilliant termination to the
foliage Of the season, ~ to plant for the
two or three days Of the blooming season
in spring CuAivator.

STOP YOUR C0UGHl

The wonderful results and immense sale
Of Hale's Cough Cordial the past season
ought to convince the most skeptical; still
We are going to continue the same liberal
offer that we have made heretofore, viz:
Any person suffering with cold, cough OF
sore throat, who will call at c.. SCHULZ
TENS CT 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 vicinity that produced such wonderful
results. All we ask is that you will try
it,

During the organization of the Ju-
venile Templars' lodge Thursday the re-
quest was made that all who did not feel
willing to take the obligation not to drink,
smoke, chew or use profane language,
should withdraw. One of our most re-
spected ministers arose slowly and sadly
slid out. For time there were terrible
thoughts that secret sippings or DISPOSE
ton to "cuss" on the sly might have been
the cause of his leaving, but it transpired
afterwards that he went on = 'tquid,' .
which he did not feel willing to eschew.

EDITOR JouRNAL.-The LADIES' Christ
ian Aid Society met last Thursday At the
residence of E. n. Atwood. Over forty
sat down to dinner. A large party came
over from Fair Haven and made things
lively and pleasant. After dinner the
time passed of pleasantly with social con-
verse and siuging and several fine poems
were read by Mr.. E. H. Atwood, Mrs. !
Martin aud Mrs. B. U. Watkins. Ad.
journed to meet in three weeks At Bishop
Watkins's.
There was a large attendance at the
Grange last Saturday night and after the
regular business was attended to our
Worthy Lecturer called ON: Mn. E. H. At
wood to read selected poem. E. H. A.
wood was called on to make his report
on tho
RECIPROCITY TREATY WITH CANADA.
Alter the report was delivered it was
moved to have it published in the St.
Cloud JOURNAL, but Mr.. Atwood objected
on account of itslength and the difficulty Of
condensins it. Mr.. d. G. Keefs followed;
was in favor of reciprocity treaty; had
lived near the line and thought it benefit
10 both aides; was opposed to a tariff Of any
kind it was all wrong; out of 1922, 0OO,-
600 paid by the consumers by reason of the
tariff only $2o6, o00, 900 went into the treas
ury, and about one fourth of the tariff was
lost on account Of smuggling and fraud
d: W. Fowler spoke on the subject of
fencing and thought that on account of cur
pole fences rotting 70 fast wire fences areths
most economical. N. Greeley thought that
If man had timber apd poles on his own
land for fencing it would be cheaper
to build the pole fences. Was not pre-.
pared to speak On the reciprocity treaty
with Canada. D. A.Hoyt thought that
. reciprocity treaty with Canada would
reduce the price Of lumber, which
would be bad policy. In answer TO the
question ~ to the cost, of wire fence, E. n.
Atwood said that the wire for four-wire
fence would cost about "a cents = red and
the posts could be two OF three rods apart,
with small stick or board three inches
wide and four feet long every six or eight
feet, and the wire fastened to them with
snail staples that cost about 9 cents \
pound and contain 30 70 the pound.
1t was voted to have an
H1sToR1cAL CENTENNIAL ORATOR.
next Fourth of July, and 4 committee of
three was chosen to work it up. The Ia
dies then discussed the subject of beds and
bed making. Mrs. Atwood said that she
preferred feather bed for winter, but that
= husk bed was healthier in the summer;
gave humorous account of her expert
ence with spring bed. Mrs. N. Greeley
spoke Of the importance of airing and
drying spare beds before using .s they
would gather dampness. Mr.. Neal and
others spoke on the subject.
Mr.. T. J. Wiley has sent for
PORTABLE STEAM ENGINE
Of ten-horse power, to run his saw mill in
the winter and threshsr in summer. JEFF:
likes = warm place in the winter and will
probably act a. fireman.
Nearly all the timber and lumber are on
the ground for the cheesef factory, and As We
are now sure Of its being built the farmers
are getting their COWS into condition to
give big yield of milk.
