Editor Review:
In the REVIEW of Nov. 18th see an
article signed ssOne of the Boys and
it is a very easy matter to locate the
MYSTERIOUS individual. This boy"
the public opinion is, is permanently
located in the southern part of the
county and is giving in the Review q;
record OF occurrences that took place
in his own town. If he has any more
events of a startling character to re-
port, let him not BIZ ashamed to head
his articles where they properly be-
long.
l have made inquiries as to the party
who had rings stolen but failed to get
at anything tangible and believe that
the whole thing is a fabrication, OF il
it ever occurred the writer undoubted-
ly had in mind what did actually trans
pire at Lone Tree Lake, when, at an
evening party, two rings were quietly
lifted from y harness by some light.

have ascertained since that the party,
or parties. are spotted, and hope they
will soon be brought to justice.
The same writer speaks of husking
bee where 'cigars'' were sold on the,
sly. This place certainly was not Col,
den Gate, for our town does not do
business in that way. If such an
event did occur, where cigars were re-.
tailed ION the sly" by a feminine in

but consider it a legitimate business.

Speaking of racing on the Sabbath.
so far as Golden Gate was concerned,
there were no Christians engaged. but
benatide representative sporting men.
The adjoining town referred to did
have race, and that race was parti-
cipated in by Christian men, and that
too in the neighborhood if a church,
whose lofty spire might have been all

thus profaned our quiet rest-day.
Golden Gate, I know, is improving
politically, socially and wish we could
say religiously, but this we do say,
that if we ever build a church we shall
persuade our people to dispense with
cigars in connection with our sOciables,
for how would it sound to hear these
profane words: s'The corner stone Of
Golden Gate church rests upon box Of
HAVANA cigars" We hope our neigh
Dor will Danish cigars from his socia-
bles.
We are sorry to learn that there is a
man so mean as to steal communion
wine. Where this neighboring church

that it is none Of the Golden Gate boys,
for they would not be guilty of such
sacraligiOus conduct. Surely this is
the personification of meaness.

under a mistake. This must have been
an invention of his own imagination.

don't like to NEEDLE with church
affairs, but the advise Of heritics might
not come amiss sometimes. The Pres.
byterian church at Sleepy Eye stands
solitary and alone. We suggest that
the building be sold and devoted to
some useful purpose instead Of stand
ing idle in town which is rapidly
growing in dimensions and Importance.
AS Sleepy Eye has all the churches
that are necessary to its present wants
why not transfer the vacant PROPERTY
to the Gate? Let us agitate the matter
and set the ball rolling, it certainly
would be a blessing to our community
and give us a standing among the ma
tions to have a church. | move that

transfer commence Immediately. What

The building lately vacated by Mr..
j. S. Arnold has been purchased by J.
Reeve, and one day last week was
moved down on Main street just south
of r. B. Simmons residence, where
you can get work done on short notice,
as Mr.. r. is prepared to make or mend
boots and shoes for all that may call.
Our merchants have adopted the
leash system of doing business. and
say they will not be undersold. They
have general stock suitable to the
wants Of the neighboring community.
