l have been confined to the house
for several days from the kick OF an
ungrateful colt which l was trying to
extricate out of a wire fence in which
he got tangled.
On the same day, my neighbor, Mr..
A. Moses, was feeding his threshing
machine when stick flew out of the
cylinder and struck him in the ear,
so benumbing his Uranium that he
had to be carried into the house. We
are both ascending the inclined plane
to health again. and the next colt i
find tangled in the wire may get out
himself, and the next time stick
flies through the machine while Mr..
Moses is feeding, he will dodge it if
he can.

The Mankato Reciew of Monday
last. blows many trumpets of caution
to the voters of Blue Earth county,
at the coming election. 1t being the
last issue of his paper before the
election, he tells his readers how by
the exercise of "a little care the
"Obnosions'' name may be erased and
the other substituted" We have
taken a second look at every name on
the two tickets, and we find no man
by the name of "Obnosions." Who
is he? What are his antecedents and
where does he hail from? That's
what we want to know, and what his
readers no doubt will hunt for with
lanterns in their hands and caution
in their steps!

To the Polls to the Polls Let the
cry resOund at early morn Nov. 8. in
every Republican home in Blue Earth
county. Let the farmers rise early
on that morning, and while the good
housewife, (bless her soul we wish
she could vote, is preparing the
coffee and breakfast, let him fodder
the cattle, feed the pigs and see that
plenty of fire wood is prepared for
the day. This done, let him start for
the place of voting and devote the
whole day to the Republican cause
and the success of its candidates.

THE comments of the Pail Mall
Gazette, sometime since noticed in the
FREE PRESS, are substantiated by l..
j. Jennings, who is familiar with
English affairs. Mr.. Jennings says
the condition of agriculture in Eng
land is in most deplorable state,
and that English products, must to a
great extent, go to the wall because
of Americas more fruitful soil and
broader acres.
