AR ri FALS.

S. T. Asl,worth, Of Missouri, a rel
alive of J. r. Asfworth, of Elk, is Wis
iting his friends in this county.
a. II. Ladd, attorney at law, from
Clarion, Iowa, is visiting his friend
Auditor Walker and prospecting for Il
location. Hope he will find it in this
climate of the mountains and soil Of
Of the river bottoms.
The TnAvEL.-The Hotels of Wor-
thington at least are making money.
They seem to he just as full now as
they were during the great rush of land
seekers last spring. The other cven-
ing we stepped around to see the regis
ters. We called first Oh that prince of
good fellows and landlords, McManus,
Of the McManus House. Nc. showed
us the register for tic day with sat-
islicd smile and we ran our eye over
the page and counted thirty names
Then we called ut the Worthinyton
and found the office full Of new faces
and about Il page Of names ON the book.
Next we dropped around and looked
into the Third Avenue. Simmons was
trying to dispose Of Il fresh invoice of
guests and we learned that neuly
enough to fill the house had arrived Oh
the evening train.
THAT BRIDGE.-Anothc effort
will be made to get volunteers to repair
the bridge OIL the Spirit Lake road near
Brant's, on Saturday, Oct. 5. The
township of Lorain has 10 funds and
no poll tax which can now be
utilized to repair this bridge. Another
effort will therefore be made to induce
the farmers who use this road to do
something toward putting the approach
rs to the bridge III passable shape. The
condition of this bridge is Il disgrace to
the county. 1t is hardly possible to
pass with Il light buggy without miring.
The Worthington merchants who ex-
pect Spirit Lake trade, could IF: AXE 100
per cent Oh every dollar they might put
in here.
