Mrs. L. A. Sprague, of Fulton, ILL
nois, visited her niece, Mrs. G. L. Ding.
man, the past week.
Mr.. H. Harris has rented the Aber-
cromble house, and moved therein. He
proposes to start IN the dray and livery
business here soon, we are informed.
Frank Bacon is diligently at work at
the depot learning to be telegraph
operator. He hopes TO be competent to
take charge Of station in a few months.
An Italian, with performing bear,
made considerab fun for the lockers on
of the sport, on our streets on Friday
evening last. and was literally rewarded
with nickels and coppers thrown in his
hat.
Mrs. Fctt's little son, who was cut
with scytEe, Is doing as we'll as can be
expected under the careful treatment Of
DR.. Beaulieu. The doctor hopes to save
the use of his limb, but hardly thinks he
can keep it from being stiff:
IT. X. DAZZLE sends letters home from
Liverpool, England, stating that he has
made the voyage across the Atlantic all
right. His health is good, the rheuma-
tism having left him entirely. Doubtless
ERE this he is enjoying the mountain air
Of his native Norway home.
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Anderson, after
passing the winter with their children in
Lyons county, have returned here, intend
ing to make this their home again. Mr..
Anderson thinks he is too old a man to
endure the hardships of the frontier again.
May the old people pass the balance Of
their days in this vicinity where long
life of usefulness has been spent.
Street Commissioner Swift has sus.
pended work on the streets for time.
He has done some very effectual work
on our highways this season. Our streets
are all in tip-top condition, and Mr.
Swift is certainly entitled to much credit
for the effective use Of our highway tax.
We hold up both hands for him for Street
Commissioner just as long as he will
accept the position.
Mr.. Calkins. of the Brownsville
House, is proving himself to be an
"a No. 1" landlord. The house is being
repaired and refurnlshed, ard no person
need ever arise from his wcll.filled table
feeling that the wants of the inner man
have not been fully satisfied. One visit
TO this house will convince anyone that
we can now boast of as good hotel as
can be found in Southern Minnesota.
%. Harrington, is building a new
house, G. H. Nichols and j. NJ. Stew erd
each large barns, thus proving that even
with the hard times that there are farmers
who have the means to make needed
improvements. By the way, the three
farmers above mentioned we're among
those who first gave up wheat-raisiug,
and took to stock-raising and div ersity
of crops This is all that is needed to
make our section prosperous.
Thatcher & Glover have commenced
work in earnest in constructing their
elevator. They propose to build build
ing large enough to handle grain as fast
as it comes to them. This has been an
Inconvenience that they have labored
under in their old building, and the pros
pect of good crop demanding largely
increased room, consequently they pro-
pose to have this building large enough
to be convenient for themselves as we'll as
an honor to the town. In size the main
building will be 30x30, with 90 feet
posts, on which will rest the bins, making
the building at least 60 feet high. Sue
cess to them in completing this much
needed enterprise, is the wish ofthe entire
community.
