When man steps out into the sunlight,
on these bright, cool, clear, bracing morn
ings, he feels like shrowiug up his hat and
'hollering." The sky is such beautiful
blue, the sun so bright, the air so fresh and
invigorating, the beautiful mirage always
visible On these fine mornings), all combine
to make US light hearted, buoyant and Wig
orous; it almost seems as if mans soul
was touched with sense of the many
blessings and privileges we enjoy in this
young, promising, prosperous, and greatly
blessed State.
One of the neatest pieces OF workman
ship we have seen in long time, is the
new desk made for Messrs. Larson & Nil
son, by Olson Bros, of this place. To at
tempt to describe it would be futile and
would do it injustice, but we will say this,
it is credit to the makers, and proves
them skilled workmen. The tasty design,
fine work, neat and handsome finish, and
| the completeness of the arrangements,
warrants US in saying that it masterpiece,
the counterpart of which is not to be found
in the State of Minnesota. 1t will amply
repay any one to call and examine it, and
we doubt not that they will agree with US
in all We have said.
A petition was presented to the Village
Council, at their last meeting, asking that
the amount for liquor license for the COM
ing year, be fixeo at the sum of three hun
| dred dollars, and some persons were in IA
vor of five hundred dollars. The petition
was signed by majority of the business
men of the Village, indicating that they
were making business matter of it. Our
citizens seem to think they have been i'm
posed upon by the sale of liquor on Gun
days, and to Incorporate persons, which is
a violation of law. The character of the
men who signed the petition, is such that
it ought to have great influence with the
Council, and indicates determination to
at least keep the sale of liquor within the
restrictions of the law, and may prevent
its sale entirely, if persisted in as it has fol
the past year.

We understand that the German Method
lists contemplate erecting church building
soon, and which will be located in tn,
neighborhood of Mr.. Chas. Peppers, fv
or six miles west of this place. This is
movement in the right direction, ant
, should receive the necessary encourage
ment to guarantee its success. Wo are ii
favor of liberal subscriptions for churches
schools, and all enterprises having in view
the mental, moral and social advancement
of the whole community. In connection
with this enterprise of the German Meth
odists we would call attention to the sub
scription which has already been circulated
, to some extent, by the Congregational So
ciety, as We learn they win push the erec
ton of their building rapidly in the spring
We have also heard ii intimated that tn
Methodist o. this town are agitating sim
:. liar project. That is right. Let us hav
churches and schools, as it will tend t,
bring in good class of people, and induce
permanent improvements.
