Hon. ]. G. Mccarthy was in town last
week, aud was surprised at the appearance
of the growing crops, and the way in which
they had sprung forward during the past
week.
Mr. George Cogel of Red Wing has ar
rived, and win locate here permanently.
We are glad TO have him come amongst

success.

a drove of cattle to some point up in that

Mr.. James Muir of Reno, Pope County,

A. 4. Mead, Esq, Paymaster on the St.
P. & p. II. R., came up the line last Fri
day, and leaving the car in charge of Mr..
Rice, remained at this point to make a Sc
lection of a piece of land.
That female woman is still in town.
This IS contrary to the ordinances, and she
ought to be told to go and sin no more
especially to go; the admonition Ito sin no
more" would probably be superfuous.
Thos. Alton, the man who was shot by
Colehan, is now in town. He does not
look much like the same man, as the shot
which entered his head affected the nerves
and completely paralysed his left side,
thus rendering him almost helpless.
Would it not be well to have the pro-
ceedings of the Village Council published;
almost every incorporated village does
SO, and it is good plan, as the people are
then aware of what is being done, and
some think they have a right to know.
No steps have as yet been taken to inves-
tigate, the reported case of "social evil"
which is said to exist in our midst, at least
not as we know Of, but things were always
thus, and we presume, no notice viii be Ia
ken of it, until it shows itself more plainly
than it does.
Coles circus is advertised to give per-
formances in the various towns along the
line We don't feel at all sighted as it
must be a one horse consarn" else it would
not give US go-by, and perform in such
small towns as are to be found between
this and Litchfield
Charley Wintermute writing from the
Big Horn, says, 1--WE are having great
sport, as buffalo are plenty; as many as
twenty five have been killed in one day
Mr.. Wintermute expects to visit the Nation
al Park before his return, which will
PROBABLY be sometime in August.
Mr.. 8. M. Claiborne, the head store
keeper at the Sisseton Agency, was in town
last Sunday. Mr.. G. was connected for a
number of years, with one of the most
prominent firms in Boston, which is a
guarantee that matters in his hands will be
dealt with in business like manner.
N. J. Hill, Master Car Builder on the
st. Paul 6 Duluth R. R.. was in town last
week Mr.. Fl. has been looking over lands
in the vicinity of Lake Toqua, and has
arrived at the conclusion that no where
between this shutdown are better lands
to be found. We, therefore, would not be
surprised to see him locate there.

There is poor drunken fellow in this
town by the name of "Sailor, this man
is an habitual drunkard, and nuisance,
and it is not more than couple of years
since purse was made up, to send him
out of town. Wewant to call the attention
of the proper authorities to the fact, that
saloon keepers should be notified not to
sell him liqour. There is an ordinance
passed making it an offence to do so, and
shutting of" his whisky is the only way to
get rid of him.
They were playing ball, and the ball got
by one of the boys when some fellow re-
marked, "thers it is, thai little round thing
behind you" in lonely corner of a lonlier
graveyard is mound and at the head of
that mound or grave is shingle, with these
words engraved on it, s'died from the effects
of having the kicking stuffed out of him, by
a cord of base ball clubs" This sad fate is
a caution to parties who do not give that
very smart phrase rest; it is tired and
played out; SO it will be we'll and proper
not to disturb it,
! HonaL B. Hodges was in town last
| Monday, and informs us that he was bust
ly engaged opening up g. B. Newcombs
large farm and also was experimenting
the opening of one or two smaller ones.
On the Newcomb farm he is breaking 2, 500
acres, and has 1000 under crop, in town.
ship 1874, range Al; in this county; Accord
ing to his estimate about 5000 acres are
being brought under cultivation this year
E. T. Archibald and c. B. Newcomb are
breaking nearly four thousand acres. this
is about the way the sod is being turned
over through the entire county and care
full estimates on an average crop, lead us
to believe that Stevens County will pro-
duce nearly a million bushels of wheat
next season. - " ~ kg azSs
