1t is said that Sanford Tanner, q we'll
known and eccentric money'loaner who
has frequently visited this county, died a
few days ago at Mona, Iows.-Albort Lea
Standard.
The above is mistake. The old fellow !
was in town Saturday apparently enjoy.
ing good health.
Mr.. Pete Reynolds. Of this city, has
had " sindiall" down in old Washing.
ton county, New York, and has gone
down to gather it up; whereof we are
glad. We hope himself and wife may
live many day TO enjoy it. A few
thousand will do great deal OF lubri-
eating in these close times.
Fay Smith dared to break loose from
his close confinement behind the coun-
ters Of the Mower County Bank last week
and take trip. He went to St. Paul,
being present at the organization of the
Legislature, also to Saltwater and looked
over the prison. He is now at his post
again, all the fresher for his trip.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. II. Gerard returned
about = week ago from very pleasant
trip to Wisconsin. They enjoyed their
visit and journey exceedingly. These
short visits, giving up the care and labor
of home and business duties for the rest
and pleasure of q few days with dear rela.
tives and friends, is always an agreeable
and profitable change.
Mother Goose and her large family
met her friends on Wednesday AID Sat.
ur lay evenings Of last week at Jones'
hall. The entertainment was . very
pleasan: one, and Miss Clara Palmer, az
the personator Of Mother Goose, did re-
narkably we'll. The receipts were not
large, but considering the extreme cold
weather, we think they did we'll.

wilkins. who has been employed in
Smith, Wilkins & Easton's bank for some

thing elsa Democratic President of

There are many vices, We are sorry
to say, among the youth of Austin. Pro-
family, vulgari,y, and the use Of tobacco,
are not uncommon, and we know too, as
Prof Keysor, our School Supt, says,
that "these boys are the sons not alone Of
non. church goers and profane swcarers,
but some Of them children Of the promi:
nent church members Of the city," and II
the children of protesting Christians are
immoral, what should we expect of those
whose parents make no profession. Par
