OF Red Wing, will leave Austin the latter
part of this week to resume her labor in
that city. She expects, however, to visit
few days in Minneapolis before enter
ing the school room again.
Mr.. Wood has purchased, through the
agency of Chas. Wilbour, an upright pi-
ano from Story s. Camp in New York.
This handsome instrument is for little
Clara, and we are sure she will never al
low its delightful melody to surpass the
harmony of her own pure, cheerful life.
10. Gotta had fine horse for which he
was offered $50 short time ago. The
horse became very sick and Mr.. Gotta sold
him to A. D. .Babcock for $50. Now,
that perverse horse is getting well. and
Mr.. Babdock feels much better. But just
ask 10. how he feels about the 800.
Cheap Charley is constantly receiv-
ing new goods and replenishing his stock.
He has the latest styles of clothing and
the newest things in the line of furnish
ing: goods. One can certainly be suited
at Cheap Charley's, and cheaply too.
Give him q call. There's no excuse for
wearing old clothes.
20 sweet Gavin! o sugah Gavin!
Wat mo KIN yo' desiah!-Er.
Two doctors, three old women with hot
water and mustard, and gallon of medi-
cine, after the corn doubles you up with
the cholera morbus. But the corn is
good, roasted or boiled, and we are will
ling to double little.
The young men are becoming esthet-
ic. They now cover their heads with
piece of summer cloud, spangled with
fragments of the rainbow, and illumina-
ted by the golden CLEANS of the setting
sun. Some unesthetic folks think that
the tops of the boys heads are simply
mortified, but we scorn such an idea.
Cal Taylor is constantly replenishing
and charging his stock of groceries. He
keeps everything that is found in a
first class grocery store. His vegetables
and fruits are always fresh and whole
some, and cheap enough for the poorest.
Cal. and his gentlemanly clerks will be
pleased to fill your orders at any time.
| The floral decorations in the Baptist
church last Sunday were unusually fine.
The pond lilies were fragrant and beau
tiful. The young ladies who composed
the committee on decorations, labored
faithfully, and they are repaid by the
pleasure afforded to all who saw their
flowers so beautiful and so tastefully ar
ranged.
Miss Jennie Ellis will leave for
Wellesley College in the early part of next
week. She will take a two years course
of study in that excellent institution, in
order to fit herself for an advanced po-
sition in her profession of teaching. The
TRANSCRIPT wishes her the success she
deserves, and commends her example to
| others,
Last year a daily accommodation
train was run from Austin to Minneapolis
during the week of the fair. Such a train
will undoubtedly be run again this year,
although no positive announcement has
yet been made. 1t is desirable that it
should be run, for it permits people of
this and adjoining counties to 60 to the
fair and return the same day.
Before her departure Mrs. Ball sold
her piano to Mrs. j. NJ. Hutchins. The
Balls have rolled away from our nice
little city, but they had not the heart to
take from US our music. May the sweet
toned instrument, under the deft fngures
of Mrs. Hutchins, in harmony with the
hearts of our people, often attract Mrs.
Ball and her family to us as visitors, if
not once again as permanent residents.
%. w. Shaw returned last Saturday
from the Red River Valley. He reports
fine crops in the Northwest, and an in
credible boom in all branches Of business
and trade. Wild land in Dakota sells for
more that improved farms in Mower
county. Mr.. Shaw, however, prefers old
Mower for long run, and he very cor
rectly predicts collapse in that northern
region when the tide of immigration has
rolled on to the far west.
Last Friday afternoon, Mrs. Georgia
Tisdale, wife of James Tisdale who left
her seven years ago and has not been
heard of for long time, was made the
happy recipient of many useful articles
| of household ware. Her friends carried
heavy lunch-baskets and a nice supper
was partaken of by all. Mrs. Tisdale is
| a worthy woman, and is thankful for the
timely gifts. We like to write up such
surprise parties. Let's have more of
| them.
