The public schools opened on Mon
day with il good attendance for the sea
son. There are s. enrolled in the Pri-
mary department; 35 in the lntermedi-

termrdiate to 40 and advanced to 80.
We learn that the members Of the
Worthiugton N. E. Church are all
withdrawing from the church. This

The State Fair and the Minneapolis
Fair are over and now comes the No.
bles county Fair. If any body wants
to ride Il 20 mile race for !. purse of
5000 cigars, let us know early.
Really, it costs too much to 50 to
fairs. We were gone four days and Wis.,
tied St. Paul, Minneapolis and Still
water, and on taking al inventory of
what is left III our pockets we find we
are out just about SIS. 1t would have
cost us only four dollars if we had re-

He therefore fired 1T the crowd killing
two dogs and wounding the other two

A farmer from one of the northern
townships was in town the other day
on some legal business and requested
that the trial be set on the day of the
County Convention as he would be a
delegate from his township. As the

ed with water.
