I suffered intensely; stimulents only
gave me temporary relief. I tried

Last Saturday, rs a young lady was

pulled out her handkerchief, and in
doing so, accidentally dropped a ten

A gentleman standing by who saw
the curious accident, killed the dog
and recovered the money.
Wadena is noted for the sweet SIM
plicity of its manners and customs.
It is the style there for young gentle
men at the opera to sit with their
arms around their sweethearts. As
soon as this fashion becomes general
" known, there will doubtless be .
large emigration of Minneapolis girls
to Wadena.-Fargo Argus.
Messrs. Peake 4 Murray, have re.

will find Peake 4 Murray ready to
make out their policy in this compa-

The Detroit people arc making
streng efforts to set y road through
from that village to Shell Prairie,
and the present indications tends to
show that they will be successful.
This is 4 matter of interest to the
citizens of "Wadena. A good road
should be opened between Wadena
and Shell River country, and that im-
mediately, too. Citizens, you should
be alive to the interests of your vii
lage.
The concert last Thursday evening,
was success in every respect. AL.
though it was not possible for us to
be in attendance, we understand that
all were we'll pleased with the enter
tainment. After the concert, some
of the young folks concluded to en-.
joy few hours dancing. We hardly
approve of tho society encouraging
the latter scheme to raise money.
We believe that people should ''prac-
tice what they PREACH

and organizing singing classes, gave a
lecture and concert at Peake's Opera
House last Friday evening, The
professor held a meeting Saturday
night, and succeeded in organizing Il
class of about so members. As we
understand it, he gives them six
lessons in vocal culture for $l.OO
apiece, and terminates with a con-
cert, which we believe il to come off
next Saturday evening.
That poor little lamented fellow,
of the Perham Journal, was in the
village Tuesday, and says he hunted
all over town to meet the junior
editor Of tho FARMER. but carefully
avoided coming to the Office. We are
sorry we did not see him; if he had
just sent " his card, we would have
granted him an audience. BY the
way, Mr.. Tuesley, we don't claim to
be prize fighter, but there is a 10
year old boy in Wadena, that says if
you will name the place, he will meet
you and settle the difference for us.
In the mean time, if the FARMER
comes out with black eye, our read

mentioned gentleman (!).
"a tax payer" in the Fergus Falls
Journal, kicks vigorously against
tho Black Hills railroad company
putting up their buildings in Wadena.
He said they were led to believe
that the Black Hills road would be op-
Grated by different and competitive
company from the Northern Pacific,
and that buildings should DO located
at the junction. The article was
probably written by some meddle-
some party, who is not in the least
benefited by the road, and who voted
against tho bonds. We do not see
how the people of Otter Tail county
would be benefited any more by hav-

they will be by having them here.
A town of any Importance can never
be built at the junction, and should a
