We are told that they enjoyed themselves
hugely.
G. B. Buchanan, Esq, of Brookdale
Farm. Morrison county, was in town
yesterday. He feels in excellent spirits
over the crop prospects, and estimates
that his wheat product will amount to
about 10000 bushels.
A slight Misunderstanding in which an
uncertain amount Of "budge" was an inn
portant factor, occurred between an aged
couple on Thursday last, and ended in a
row, during which the old lady was ham

The disturbance aroused a number OF

that the effect was admirable, the old man
coming out of the water considerably
cooled off.

The most of haying is over for this
season, and great amount has been cut,
mostly upland.
r. Harvest is close at hand, and grain
bids fair to yield bountiful harvest.
I'VE have had the worst storms this
year that have ever been known in Min

this section some days ago, doing some
damage to grain at this place.
One of the most unmitigated nuisances
extant is the Touring mills at this place.
Farmers from all parts Of the country are
compelled to "change' their wheat for
flour or go on up to the Little Sank mills,
in Todd county. 1t is strongly talked
that $4,000 mill is in contemplation
by some of our go-ahead moneyed men,
which will be a ''strictly custom MILL"

The circus was largely attended, but
"gentle zephyr" in the evening put an

crop we have ever had in this town.

would be failure, but the prospect now
will compare favorably with. former

The increase fthe four counties in the

1896, while the increase in Morrison
alone amounts to 1856, or only 211 less
than the increase in all the balance of the
