90 to so wagons this spring. Hurrah!
for home manufacture.
At the last meeting of the County
Commissioners, the Bank of Wadcna
was designated as the depository for
county funds. This act shows the
confidence the Board have in Wadena
institutions.
Mr.. John Heron wishes us to say
that he is now prepared to do all kinds
of work in his line, and would be glad
to meet his old customers. Johnny
is now doing business alone, and all
know that he is first-class black
smith and merits all the custom he
receives.
We have had several inquiries from
Wrightstown and Parkers Prairie as
to why the FARMER does not reach
them on Thursday. One reason is that
our correspondents, in order to get
the latest news, do not send in their
communications until Tuesday and
Wednesday, consequently most all Of
the matter has to be set in two days
time. The mail to Wrightstown starts
out Thursday merning, and it is al
most impossible to get our paper out
in time for it, but we assure our read
ers, in that direction, that we will do
the hest we can-hire an editor, or
petition Uncle Sam to change the mail
time.
The citizens of Wadena have been
somewhat unfortunate in regard to
loss by fire, but they are to be con-
graduated upon the promptness and
fairness with which these loses have
been adjusted and paid by the Insur-
ancc companies. In our last issue we
mentioned the fact that the losses of
Messrs. Katzky and Olsen had been
adjusted: but neglected to state that
Mr.. w. II. Dudley. of the German
American Insurance company, had
been in town, and had allowed E. f.
Luce, in full, the insurance on his
building, amounting to 81 600, and the
money was paid over by the company
last week.-lcss than two weeks after
the fire occurred. Although the
amount paid probably does not cover
the real loss, yet it is satisfactory to
know that the companies have not
taken advantage of any bubbles or
technicalities, but have dealt fairly
and honorable with those who suf-
fcred by the fire, and our citizens will
give them confidence accordingly.
Notice to Members of the Reform
Club.
At the last meeting of the Reform
Club, the questions arose, How arc
we to pay expenses! DO we, as a Club,
advance the cause of temperance? and
what will be our future course! Ow-
ing to the small number that remain
ed, no definite conclusion WAS arrived
at, but the majority present were in
favor Of organizing Good Templars
lodge, to take the place Of the Reform
Club, thinking that it would be the
most feasible way out of the seeming
ly muddle we are in. There will be a
meeting of the Reform Club next
| Tuesday. as usual. at which time it is
hoped that all the members of the
Club, and all others interested in the
temperance cause and the organiZa-
ton of Good Tenplars lodge, will
be present. The usual program for
entertainment will be given, and it is
expected that the Rev. IIepp will give
Il short address.
