New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1879-12-24

It il some time since wrote any
news for the Review. I have been
waiting and looking for news but the
mills Of the Gods grind slow and after
waiting long 1 have not much Of a grist
yet. Some wise old fellow of the past
has said ''there is no knowing what q
day may my bring forth" but that old
saying don't apply to anything in this
part Of tho world except to wind,
which in the last few days has piled
up some good old fashioned snow
drifts, such a. we have not had before
for some years past. The deep snow
in place Of being source of discom-
fort or annoyance to the farmers, ami.
mates them with hope for = better
and brighter future, as every farmer
knows the cause of our poor wheat

Of snow this winter We will look for
an abundant wheat crop next season.

the past goodly number of jovial
bummers Of every description; dancing
masters, gamblers, pugilists, and horse
jockeys by tho score. Lecturers familiar

the last ten years. perhaps have got
on one 0 too many, but no matter, they
all promised us paradise if we
would only take their advice. Where
are they now! All gone! Yes, gone to
point tho way, to other benighted NOR
tails. Within the last few weeks our
esteemed magistrate A. Slocum and
family have moved to New Tim. what
is our loss is New Ulm's gain. Then
Mrs. C. P. King and family moved to
Fargo, d. T. She had contributed
some nice poetry to the Review. he
lieve she was the only lady in this
town who had the honor of slipping at
the fountain of poesy with the MUSES..
Malcolm Smith has gone to Yankton
and Louis CRUDE and Charley Crumlett
have gone to Melrose, Stearns Co. and
Miss Laura Benham has gone to La.
Crosse to complete her education. So
there are hardly enough young folks
left to dance a French four; and
our only saloon keeper, John Kaschka,
got mad about the way tho last grand
jury used him and has sold out to John
Won Kaufenburg, Of Mulligan. We

pence in getting the most improved
machinery for the benefit of their
customers. They have lately procured
a new separator for separating all sorts
of foul seed from the wheat and are

their numerous customers.
There was funeral at the Iberia
cemetery on the 18th inst. The corpse
being that of IN old gentleman by the
name of Sanderson, father Of squire
John Sanderson Of Leavenworth. The
old gentleman lived to the Patriarchal
age of SO years.
In looking over this years calendar,

the splendid original poem by Mr..
Robert Nix where he says, ''One year
saw four times royal blood assailed"
