The most common topic Of converse.
ton that greet the ears OF LeRoyites just
now is this premature appearance of cold
weather. Let cold weather come when.
ever it will, it is sure to find some uupre.
pared. take it that it is only human
not to be exactly prepared for coming ev.
ents, that is, events which ordinarily oc.
cur with q certain degree Of regularity.
But this advent Of Greenland's climate is
quite another thing from that which we
had any reason 10 anticipate. It may he
all right in proper time but we Of LIE
Roy submit that the middle of November
is not q reasonable period for ten-below-
zero.weather. Such weather creates de.
mand for fuel. Good wood is always q
scarce article In our market. Ma
pie is preferred as being the best, but of
this little Can be obtained ut present.
Buying wood from the street is not H.
ways the most pleasing occupation
Each load is, Of couree, q cord. Too
many of those who draw WOOD from q
distance afford a practical example Of the
theory Of imitation. Two IDS OF wood
in the neighborhood of the Valley usual.
~ becomes three when exposed for sale
in the streets of L. Roy. Soft wood is
selling at from $3.50 to 81, oak IS to $3.50.
and maple at So per cord.
speaking Of fuel naturally leads me
to speak of the stove business. Our deal
er in stoves and tlnware, Mr. G. A. Roy,
is enjoying fine run Of business. He
represents that his sales have far exceed.
ed his most eanguine expectations for
this season. Any one IN or near the vi.
entity Of LeRoy who c"ntemplates the
purchase of stove, either wood or coal,
or anything in the line OF tinware, will
find 1t to their advantage to call and ex.
anime friend Roy 9 stock before looking
elsewhere. They will be sure to find
"Charlie" q pleasant dealer, and one who
will offer them bargains which cannot
be discounted in Southern Minnesota.
