R0yaltOn Correspondence.

From our Regular Correspondent.
Royalton, Jan. 81, 1880.
Mr.. j. G. Flynn of the we'll known
firm of Flynn, Paine & Co., of Little
Falls, was in town this week.
Rev. Mr.. Root of St. Paul's church, in
Brainerd, held services last Monday
evening at the residence of Mr.. Geo.
Newman, of this place. The attendance
was quite large. Mr. Root has accepted
another invitation to come at an early
day, of which timely notice will be Civ
en-.
Rev. Geo. W. Kinnie, of New Hamp-
shire, who has been spending the winter
with his brother, Rev. T. G. Kinnie, of
this place, started for the East last Mon
day Pm. Mr.. K. has been in poor health
for some time, and came to Royalton in
hopes that the Minnesota air would i'm
prove him, but we are sorry to say that
he has been failing for the past few weeks,
and was obliged to return.
We hope we shall hear often from the
Platte River correspondent, but hope she
will be more prudent next time and not
give the Royalton correspondent away.
Some folks think that Royalton is not
much Of place. Well, whether it is or
not, we notice that there is: saw dust
enough at Logan's saw mill to furnish
the country for ten miles around, Little
Falls included, and still it accumulates
SO fast that he don't know what to do
with it.
Tue regular meeting of the debating
club was held last Tuesday evening.
The waiting room at the station, in
which the meetings are held, was crowd
ed The debate between Rev. J. S.
Bouck and R. D. Kinney was very much
appreciated by all. The question was as
follows:
The steam engine has exerted a more
beneficial influence upon the civilization
of The 18th century than the printing
press has.
Mr.. Bouck opened the argument in the
affirmative. Every point possible was
brought to bear upon his side of the
question, and his remarks were listened
to with much interest. He spoke about
twenty minutes, and Mr.. Kinney was
called. Mr.. K. stepped to the front hold
ing in lis hand small package, which
aroused considerable curiosity as to what
it was. After speaking few minutes
he unro1led the package, which caused
considerable laugh ter, as it proved to be
small steam engine, made out of a tin
can. Placing it upon the table he crit
cised it in such a manner as to keep the
audience in roar of laughter through
out, and when MIR. Kinney closed, he was
greeted with a round of applause. A vote
was then taken, and the question was de-
cided in favor of Mr.. Kinney by large
majority. An interesting essay was then
read by Miss Green. The reading by
Miss Morris was highly appreciated, as
was evident by the applause she received.
We are pleased to state that another Sc
lection of her reading will be given soon,
OF which notice will-be given. The next
question for debate is, (Which is the
greater evil in the community, card play:
ing or scandal" All who can attend are
invited to do so Tuesday evening, Feb

The History Of Morrison County," the puo-
1ication of which in the Transcript will begin in
the issue of Feb. 6, will be- revised and cor
recte,1 and Continued down to the present time
by its at'thor, Hon. N. Richardson. He re-
quests us to state that he will be pleased to
hear from any persons who noticed errors or
omissions In the original history as published
in the Transcript in 1875. There were prob
ably very, few errors in the original history,
but Mr.. Richardson has since learned of addi-
tionai facts, and hopes that with the aid Of the
old settlers, and by more carefully examining
other sources of information, he will be able to
so revise the history as to make it more inter-
ssting and comprehensive. Persons not now

plete history, should subscribe at once, / .zga

managed to strike it with the hammer, but ii
made another spring and she struck it again,
