Wednesday night. The occasion was a
lawn social, or picnic, in connection with
the Methodist church of this city. A

wishes that Mr.. and Mrs. r. 0. Hall

their numerous friends might be gathered
in and enjoy just such another social
feast, the friends departed.

residence of Mr.. Geo. H. Litch6eld,

Mrs. Or. G.. L. Lewis arrived in Aus
tin Tuesday, on her way TO Rochester to
see her husband, who was adjudged insane,
aud taken from this city to Rochester
about three weeks ago. We acknowledge
pleasant call from Mrs. Lewis, whom
we find lady of culture and more than
ordinary ability. She informs US she

live with him, but wrote urging him to
meet her at Leavenworth, Kansas. She

within his means. We certainly hope
there may be brighter days than the pres

AS the house-band is beginning to
consider the subject of winter fuel some
what, he IS no doubt we'll aware that the
price of coal, at the present time, is
considerably in advance of prices at this
time last year, and there IS no prospect of

combinations which have massed the coal,
and which have practical control of the
western market, are composed Of actual
owners of the mines, hence We need not
expect decline in price, and nothing
will probably be gained by waiting for
lower prices.

wheat fields are attracting great deal of
attention just now, even more, we think,
than q Waseea congressional convention

are preparing to "gather in" what the
harvest time shall bring them, we in the

for the verdict, knowing that poor crops
