sickle bar resting on his neck. One Of
the ladies backed the oxen and the 9th
er lifted the bar off and helped the un.

a prospect Of recovering.

THE EDITORIAL EXCURSION.
Still another change has been made
in the Editorial Excursion. The party
ran to Window yesterday and back to
Lake Elmo Wednesday night. 70
day they run to Duluth by daylight and
spend tomorrow there. The Duluth,
Tribune says:
The forenoon will be spent, under the
guidance Of our citizens, in seeing the
sights around town, our liarbor, our el
evators, docks, etc. etc. After dinner
ut the Clark House, Manager Gordon
will take the party, with probably a
limited number of invited citizens, otv
on the fine iron propeller, the Ja ran,
for four or five hours ride on Lake
Superior, returning to the Clark House
i'll time for tea. In the evening, the
proprietors OF the Clark House have az
ranged, us we learn, to give a reception
to tie party at the Clark House parlors
--one somewhat similar, we presume,
to the one given to the Arkansas etl-
tors IL few weeks ago.
Should the party arrive on Thursday
evening, however, this reception will
then be given on that evening. instead
of on Friday evening, while the other
portion OF tie programme would prob
ably remain unchanged.
CRiSS rs KING
We had another conversation with
l.. n. Ford, editor Of the Minnesota
Farmer, on his return from the west
end, and found him more than ever i'm
pressed with the fact that Mobiles is
one of the best grass counties in til"
State. Mr.. Ford did not hes tate to
say that ours is probably the rc1y best
grass county in Minnesota.
AS 4 consequence, Mobiles mist be-
come one Of the banner counties. The
rule is that the inhabitants of grass re-
gions are more moral, more intelligent
and more wealthy than other farming
regions. This is shown Ivy the Blue
Grass region of Kentucky, the dairying
region Of Illinois with Elgin for Il cell
ter and the .lairying counties of New
York and New E"gland. Wheat is
supposed to be king in Minnesota but
grass is king in the long run. We have
the elements here for Il leading county
! of the State. Our Lest crop grows
spontaneously and ut present goes to
waste.
