tended the Episcopal service at Mr.. Geo.
Newman's In the evening.
MIR. S. NJ. Kicker, who has been spend .
Ing few weeks with bis friends iu Min
neapolis on account Of his health, re-
turned on Tuesday greatly improved.
Mr.. Kicker has accepted Jan invitation to
play tenor horn in the G. r. G. Band
next Tuesday evening.
Tuesday afternoon, while Mr.. Charles
Foster, one Of tho men employed at Lo>
CAMS saw mill, was engaged in lacin
belt, his sleeve ught between two fric-
ton pulleys, throwing him over, and his
head struck against the large pulley, CUT
ting an ugly cash over his left eye, and
one on his left shoulder. His arm was
also very badly bruised between the
shoulder and elbow. It was with the
greatest exertlons of his fellow workmen
that ne was extrlcated from his perilous
position. He was Immediately taken to
Mr.. Logan's house, where his wounds
were dressed and he was made as CON-
Portable as possible.
About a dozen Royalton people attend
ed the sociable in Bellevue last Thursday
evening, at the residence of Mr.. James
Lambert (better known as Uncle Jim).
Although It was bitterly cold night, we
could not resist the kind invita- ton of
Mr.. Charles Green to take sleigh ride.
SO making ourselves as comfortable as
possible with buffalo overcoats, robes and
soapstones, we started at about 7 O'Clock.
On our arrival we found a large compa>
ny gathered. The evening was spent in
sociable manner, reading, singing, play
ing, etc. At about 1890 the party start
ed for home, much pleased with their Wis
it to Uncle Jim's-
There are not many towns in, the coun-
ty, or even in the State, that are. gaining
more popularity than Royalton. 1t is
not surprising at all that those Sc eking
good farming lands, and advantages gen.
orally, make SO many inquiries in regard
to the pleasantly situated and enterprise
ing town Of Royalton. 1t is we'll
known fact to- the people in this vicinity
that short time ago the town consisted
of only a depot, water tank and section
house and it was nota little embarrassing
to the station agent to>be obliged to an.
swer the many questions of the pass en-
gers, such as, Where is your town z Is
this all the place con sists Of etc., etc:
But, alas, he was obliged to answef'in the
affirmative, and hope for the time to come
when they might see it themselves, and
not ask for it. We did not have to wait
long, however, for Mr.. Geo. Newman, of
Minneapolis, opened a store for the sale
of general merchandise, and after remains
ing here short time, and beng con-
WINGED. that Royalton was not long to re-
main as 1t was, he made preparations for
his family, who arrived few months
ago. and are now enjoying the SOLID COM
forts of life.. Then. came Mr.. j. D. Lo-
gan, of Middlesex, Pa, VINO, erected a
first class steam saw mill on Platte riy er.
and is now doing a Furnishing business.
Mr.. Thomas NJ. Young. of Two Rivers,
also built and moved here, whers he now
resides, and at present follows the carpen>
tering business. Mr.. Robert Brown has
partly erecteda hotel, which; will probab>
ly be completed this year. A warehou Sc
has also been built by Barnes g. Ten ney.
A large number of lots have already bee n
sold by Mr.. Logan, and some of the lum-
Der is already on the ground. Another
store is to be built this spring, and also a
blacksmith shop. The new bridge,
which Is now being built across Pla tie
river, will also add much to the conven
fence of the place.. Some months a go 1t
became evident that there should be some
arrangements made to- have religious SER
vices at this point ); and there being no
other convenient place, station agent
Hardy informed the citizens that the
waiting room at the depot was: at their
service once.ln two weeks. Accordingly
Rev. j. s. Bouck was invited to preach,
which he kindly consented to do, and up
TO- the present time has. held services
there. But for some time there. has been
a feeling that there should be an organ
ization Of some kind, and a church, es-
tablished. There being more Presbyte-
rians than members of any other demons
nation, some of the, leading membe
communicated with Rev. r. V. Camp
bell, of St.. Cloud, with a view to organs
izing the church. All arrangements
having been, made, Mr.. Campbell came
to Royalton last Saturday, and organized
the church in the evening, at the house
of J. D. Logan, electing Rev. j. S..
Bouck and r. D: Kinney as elders, with
the following members: :, Mrs. J.. S.
Bouck, Mr.. and Mrs. Logan, Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas NJ, Young, Mr.. and Mrs.
]: 9. Higgins, and Mrs. s. Flint. The
following day Mr.. Campbell preached at
the house of t: M. Young, and installed
the elders, after which there was CONS
munion service. Monday evening q
meeting was held at Mr.. J. G.. Higgins;
and s. Flint, J. D. Logan and j. G. Hig-
gins were elected trustees. Mr.. Logan
has presented the society with. a, fine
building lot, and Mr.. Flint with, lumber
for the frame, which. is already at the
mill to be sawed, and neat aud commo-
dious church, will be built at an early
day. Now with stirring and enterpr1s>-
ing people, and with, what has already
been done and under contemplation, is it
to be wondered at that the place which,
but fewsdays ago,conslsted: of ., section
house and tank, is destined to become one
of the finest towns in Morrison. county &.
