Little Falls transcript. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1876-1894, 1879-08-07

We find: tht Mr.. Gilman, ofSt. Cloud,
has many warm friends here who fa>
vor his ahomina ton for Lieutenant
Governors
On the Milwaukee & St. Paul tram
We met M. Judson, the secretary Of
the State Agricultural society, and
found himeuthusiastic in relation to
the coming State Fair. He is conf
dent that j will be a grand success
Aug. 4.1Upon further investigation
in the politea field we find that Pills.
bury not oily has some friends here, but
that they expect to carry the Dodge
County convention. But Pillsbury's
friends say that there is scarcely room
for doubt that Wakefield will carry
every county in the Southern tier, clear
across the State. Mr.. Gilman is favor,
ably spoken of everywhere.
It has betn said that every community
possesses chars ctaris nf own, and
mis- is *dpqaest,onably true. Here we
find rerglous faith and practice greatly
varied, and remarkably large amount
of church property in proportion to the
size Of the town. The Seventh Day Bap~
lists have dourishing church organiza>
tion, a fine church edifce, and jealous
membership. They are always ready to
engage in argument to prove that Satur-
day, or the Seventh day, is the true
Sabbath. Even the children are gener-
ally prepared to defend their doctrines !;
and an argument that occurred between
couple Of little boys only about four
years Of age, was quite amusing. Part
of it was as follows:
Sunday boy.-We know Sunday is the
right day to keep, because our Bible says
so, and our Bi bic Is a great deal bigger
than yours.
Seventh day boy.-No, It isn't. Our
Bible is SO big that when father brought
it home from the book store he had to
take it to pieces to get it into the house.
A number of Second Adventists are
living in this vicinity. One deluded
fellow is in daily expectation of the end
of the world, and has ceased all efforts to
provide for his family. While his time
is occupied by devotional exercises in
view of the expected end of all material
things, his wife takes washing to pro-
cure food for the family.
The same complaint in regard to the
prices asked by the merchants for goods,
exists here as everywhere else. Some of
the people living in and around Dodge
Centre think that they can trade cheaper
at Kasson, six miles, distant, than they
can in their own town while some of the
Kasson people think that Dodge Centre
is the better place to trade. We have
taken the trouble to learn the prices of
the most common goods, and find that
they are no lower than at Little Falls.
From what we have observed, we cons
clude that the pricesof goods at all points
in the State, reached by railroad, are SUBJ
stantlally the same.
The last issue of the Transcript, dated
July 31st, and printed just after we left
Little Falls, is at hand; and we notice
that our foreman failed to thoroughly
examine the paper and correct all mis-
takes before the edition was run off. In
the article headed "The Greatest of
Frauds," we undertook to say something
about "the holders of bonds and mort
cages" but it reads "the holders of bones
and mortgages. Now, as the holders of
bones are not asking, and have never Sc
cured, legislation specially designed to
rob people who have no bones, we
humbly beg pardon for having thus un~
Willingly charged this large and respect
able class of people with having wrong
Intentions. Numerous other typograph>
ical errors occur IN the paper, but none
quite so fragrant as this one.
