Personal Mention.
Hon. A. McCrea, Of Perham, was in town
Tuesday, and made US a CALL
John Mcmahon and Gus. Andrews, two of
Perham's boys. mades us a call Tuesday,
Rev. C. H. Dixon, Of Brainerd, made us
pleasant call. Monday.
Dr. Jordan has returned from Duluth. but.
We regret to say, he intends to make til at city
his future home.
MIR. Frank Brown, young man from Alex
andria, and an old Wisconsin boy, called up
on us yesterday. He thinks it is the boss
country around Wadena, and is going to
settle here.
He came in with blood in his eye. It was
easy to see that he was mad from the glare
Of his eyes, and the whi:eness around his
nasal protuberance. He had borrowed pa
per or stole one, and had read an item there
in not calculated to please his royal highness;
and he wanted it corrected. So here goes.
The photographer OH Third street says he
was not drunk, nor did he get head put on
him. He says an assistant OF his during his
absence got into a fuss, but he wasn't to-
blame for it; and added that the item we
published last week was calculated to iniure
his business. As Mr.. Photographer never
called on US before, and has never subscribed
to the paper, we were not astonished to here
what we did of him. A man will do most
any thing who will come into town to do
business, and refuse to give the newspaper
even ''pald local."
MIR. Cyrus Blair, a gentleman who has been
a reader of the FARMER all winter, started
from Birmingham, ILL.,, several days since
with his son and a. car load of household
goods, four horses and some chickens. His
household goods were packed in each end OF
the car, and space in the center provided
for the stock. Everything went smoothly
until Saturday night, two miles west of Brain
erd, spark from the engine lodged in the
hay and set it on fire. The whole car was |
instantly in flames, and the poor horses ter |
ribly burned, while four OF the chickens, |
which were thoroughbreds, :were burned to |
death. The train men extinguished the fire |
as soon as possible, and did every thing in |
their power to save. On the arrival of the |
train in Wadena,' Sunday morning, the |
Ii orscs were taken to Rawson's barn, where |
one Of the horses soon died, two others were
shot by the authorities, and the fourth still |
lives, although terribly singed. Mr.. Blair's !
household goods were about ruined. Two |
OF the horses and part OF the goods belonged !
to Mr.. w. Sprague, a son-in-law of Blair's.
DR.. C B Jordan who has during the past
winter finished up his life work in the study
Of medicine, in the way ofrecieving all his
diplomas, has decided to locate in Duluth, in
the practice Of medicine, as homeopathic
physician. Mr.. Jordans life mas been such
that it has prevented him from connected
study of medicine, but in all the years of
active business engagements which he has
passed through, all the spare moments have
been devoted to this science, and the hope
and ambition to complete his study and be-
come practicing physician, not so much for
its business attractions, but BECAUSE it would
afford him his entire time III the study of
his choice--has been his beacon light cheer
ing him on the while. We are indeed sorry
to lose DR.. Jordan, but we know OF no point
We could more willingly resign him to than
Duluth, since our loss will be her gain. In
simple justice to Dr.. Jordan, we would say
that he is a kind hearted, manly and true
friend; hiyh-minded and indelatigable
worker in his profession; and as citizen, it
would Ike hard to find his superior. That
The Doctor may achieve success III its most
degree, is the earnest wisA Of the
r rARxkR.
