We acknowledge a very pleasant
call from Rev. E. S. Peake last Mon
day. Mr.. Peal1e is one of the oldest

known as an honest, conscientious
minister, kind father and valuable
friend.

the Sunday school, are requested to
meet at Peake's Opera House at 7
O'Clock p. m. next Saturday, to COM
plete arrangements for attending the
Union S. S. Celebration at McQuillan's

These gentlemen are just getting un-
der way a first class brick yard con-
tiguous to the track, about one mile
east of their mill, and have already a
kiln nearly ready for the fire. They
have also 4 pressing machine on the
way and propose to manufacture
fine quality Of red burned brick,
for which their superior clay is suit
able. An agency will be established
in Wadena, and, should the r. r.
company consent to allowing them Il

they will, brick can be procured here
very reasonable, and their use will
naturally improve the character of
our improvements very materially.
