EASTERN WADENA.

Oh! dear, such weather! If we
could have a little snow to patch up
the sleighing it would suit lumberme11
and everyone else that wants to get
around, particularly with team. But
then if we say word about the wealth.
er, why here is some one right at our
elbow to ask, ''where would you go!''
AS if we knew! We are sure it's not
where one of your correspondents
spoke about water being five cents a
pail. Why we had rather melt snow.
The sun shines now, but we are hold
ing our breath for fear of "another
spell OF weather" before morning.
Some of Sceley's crew that were
down from camp have returned and
more think of going back this week.
n. J. Palmer had terrible bad hand,
but thinks it will admit of returning
the last of this week. Thinks perhaps
he can fish anyway. If he catches
more than he knows what to do with,
hope he will remember your humble
servant.
Mr.. Schemerhorn's children have
all been having the mumps, but are
getting along nicely.
If anyone writes much news from
this neighborhood (unless their means
of observation are better than ours)
they will have to make it up as they
go along, for everything is peaceable.
Expect after the next Wadena pa
per is issued and read, that a portion
of our neighborhood will be on the
war path, and the game will not be
deer or even mutton; but we antici-
pate.
There is one thing we are thankful
for and that is the "wimmen folks"
here in Northern Minnesota dom mo-
nopolize this wrangling business, even
if Viola Cole did give D. fits. We
have an idea that when anything is
said against this whiskey drinking
that it is stepping on DIS profession
al toes, hence the squirming. He says
Viola Coles education is all on one
side like Jug handle. His, we ven.
ture to assert, is on the side where the
jug is-providing the jug has any
whiskey in it. Who is it that favors
license? The saloon keeper and the
man that drinks liquor. We must
hold on though, for we are certain
Viola Cole and w. 5. H. can do the
subject better d4astice than we can.

AS the Clerk of Eastern Wadena
has given me quite scold, I thought
I had ought to reply, as he has missed
the truth in some of his statements;
especially where he says I wanted a
board school house. That is a point
blank lie. And again, he says he has
lent me what I wanted when called
for it, if he had it. Well, I did bor-
row an'old broken monkey.wrench and
a half-inch chisel. But we thiuk
that is small favor as compared
with what I have done for him. 1
kept his stock in feed all last winter,
and gave him chance to spend his
money in the saloons, where he is
most of the time. I think Mr.. Clerk,
we are about even on that score.
You say, oh, how I am kicking. I
don't think I kick. as hard as you
would have, if they had caught you
that time you was sneaking out of
Iowa between two days. My name,
as he calls me, is Mr.. one man, and if
what I say IS not the truth, ask my
neighbors. Come again Mr.. Clerk.
