Special services for the children were
held in the church on Sunday, it being Oh
served as chidren's day The death of
Mrs. a. E. Winnige at Hancock was sad
surprise to our citizens, the lady having
made many friends during her residence
among us. The gophers have made
great havoc with the planted corn in this
vicinity. Some fields have been almost
entirely destroyed blythe little pests. e. p.
l.. Norman, one of the prominent dealers
in machinery at Montevideo, has opened a
branch business at this place, and has a
new building for the purpose nearly com
pleted. The road across the Minnesota
river bottom, which has been impossible
since the high water in the spring, was
last week put in condition for travel again.
The only way the farmers of Lac qui Parle
county have been able to get to Appleton
this spring has been by means Of ferry,
and being very uncertain al best, trade
from that section has been very light.
Large quantities of stock accompanying
the cmigrants which daily pass through
here on their way further west. 1t would
seem poor policy to let so much stock
go out of the county, but our people are
gradually waking up to the idea that they
must not depend on wheat alone, and have
diversified their crops this year more than
heretofore, and also are raising their calves
instead of selling them. SCRIBE.
