On Monday evening last Messrs. S.
NJ. Rushmore and Geo. 'Rusl,more, with
their families, arrived in Worthington,
and took train. Wednesday morning for
Miller, the new Station on the branch
in newald township. Yhe Messrs.
Rushmore were accompanied by Messrs.
Paul Schmidt and Chas. Griffin, with
their families, and by three gentlemen,
Messrs.. VIM. Antilles, Chas. Sears ind
Mr.. Randall. All these parties IRE
from: the vicinity of New York City,
except Mr.. Randall, who is from st.
LOUIS. They have secured the town
site ut Miller Station, expect to take
lands in the vicinity and will at once
build a store 2sx40 and begin business.
They are mostly Methotlists and say
they expect to build Il neat cl,urcl, there
this season. Mr.. RushlnUre showed us
several plans for the church, which
they expect to build under the auspices
and: Ivy the aid of the Church Exten-
sion Society. The rnilrOad will build
4 small depot during the present sea-
son, and henceforth Miller will lie
known as one of the thriving villages
of the county. s..
These gentlemen are backed by capi-
talists lin New York ind by strong
friends who IRE interested in sending
Others on, and we expect in a year or
two more to see every acre of the fine
wheat lands about Miller under cult
walton. We did not meet all the geC-
tlemen Of the party, but those whom
we did meet are as fine, clean, fresh,
gentlemanly specimens Of young BUSH
ness men Us have ever come into the
county.
At the same time we met Mr.. N. Gill
bert, the gentleman from Washington
county, who has purchased section S,
in Ransom, and is now breaking it up
and building large house on the farm.
Mr.. Gilbert's farm lies about two miles
south Of Miller. He is also breaking
about 1900 acres on lands about the
station owned by Horace Thompson, of
st. Paul, and G. I. Seney, of New
York, President of the Metropolitan
National Bank. Mr.. Thompson owns
sections 10 and 25, i'll Olney. and 81 and
one quarter on 10 in Dewald. Mr.. Sem
ey owns II and one quarter Oh 10, in
Dewald. These are all in the vicinity
of Miller. Mr.. Gilbert is running 20
breaking plows, with double teams.
We congratulate our friends in the
vicinity of Miller on the fact that they
are soon to have thriving village and
trading point in their midst.

The Worthington Journal comes to
us enlarged to an eight page paper, full
Of vim and apparently more determi.1-
ed than ever to head off Miller. We
wish it success.-Jackson Republic.
Chalnberlin, weare sorry that you ev-
er begun to joke us about being an ''old
bachelor" If you hadn't begun it, we
never would have beaten you at your
own game and then you wouldn't have
been mad about it. AS to "heading off
Miller'' that can't be done even with
the Republic and Chamberlin added to
the other consolidated newspapers.
The other day We looked over the
wheat fields Of John Hansberger about
three miles east of town. He has prob
ably us fne wheat rs there is in the
county. From one grain we counted
twenty-one stalks which we consider a
pretty good sample OF stooling out.
