Lake Hanska Waits.

Our farmers have nearly finished
seeding, and indeed it is time they
should.
Our singing school is progressing.
There is some talk of organizing a
brass band.
Your correspondent is still alive.
Absence from home is our plea for
neglect Of duty.
We shall probably celebrate the 18th
of May, but, as far as know, no pro-
gramme has been made out yet.
Anton Paulson of this town and
Paulina Tollefson Of Nicollet county
were Joined in the holy bonds of we'd
lock, by Judge Brandt, last Saturday.
A happy and fruitful journey, An
ton
Our school, which on account of neg
ligence and carelessness on the part
of parents has gradually sunk into
nOthingness, is on the rise, through
the able leadership of Miss Nichol-
son, of Madelia.
Joe Pladson is the man to be con-
graduated just now. He also has emf
grated, not from the State of Mime
sofa to the Territory of Dakota, but
from the State of single blessedness
to that of matrimOny. A cigar when
we meet, Joe.
Those of our ssbrethern'' who last
fall severed their connection with Mr..
Green have called Kristofer Janson to
serve them as pastor. We think they
have made an excellent choice. He
has been here several times and each
time great crowds have gathered to
hear him, and his sermons are worth
hearing too. They do not consist
simply of dry, abstract theology, but
are intermingled with historical facts.
He does not preach condemnation
against all who believe a little differ
ent, but as God is love he admonishes
to love one another, thus making his
sermons at once pathetic, instructive
and interesting.
The teachers of Watonwan Co. have
formed a Teachers County Associa-
ton. We had the pleasure of being
present at their first meeting last Sa-
turday and had very interesting and
enjoyable time. Different education
al topics were warmly discussed by
the County Superintendent, leading
teachers and others, and views on
teaching and controlling were ex-
changed. None but educators know
how beneficial such meetings are. We
have formerly advocated the organi-
zation of such an association in our
county, but as we received no en-
couragement we suppose it is vain to
repeat it now. We are sorry we had
no chance to attend the institute at
Sleepy Eye, but absence from home
prevented us, and besides the roads
were so bad as to make it we'll nigh
impossible.
Tory Serumgard, Paul Mo and An
drew Miller have left for Dakota to
make their fortune. Jens Olstad has
sold his farm and is going too. Good
wishes, boys. Tory Oleson, dissatis.,
fed with the dryness of the climate
in Arizona, has crossed the boundary
and reached the more genial Califor-
MIA. Tory was unsuccessful here in
all his undertakings and we don't
doubt that to make up for past misfor-
tunes fortune will smile upon him on
the Pacific coast. Knowing his incli-
nations we even venture the opinion
that by this time he has some ''blonde"
or '.brunette'' of somes fourteen" or
more Summers to admire,and that he
no longer need be ashamed that ::'Wo-
men are 50 simple Moreover do we
hope that such romantic character
as he, endowed with all the natural
gifts that marks a fictional writer, and
abiding in such a romantic country,
will some day add worthy contribu-
tiOns to literature.
