Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1882-12-06
Miss Addic Folsom, Of Ripon, Wis,

is now in the city located at the residence
of Mrs. E. j. Phillips, corner of Main and
College streets. She is prepared to do
dress-making, also cloak making, and
dress-cutting she makes specially. She
is well advised in all the latest styles of
fashionable dress-making and considers
herself thoroughly competent to give en-
tire satisfaction. We can say for Miss
Folsom she comes with the best of re-
concentrations She is very pleasant
lady to meet, and the ladies will remem-
Der her when desiring work done.
-MARR1Ep.--At the Baptist parsonage,
Albert Lea. Mimi, Thursday, Nov. 3Oth,
1882, by Rev. N. F. Hoyt, Mr. CORN
HANSON to Miss MARY SoRENsoN, all OF
Austin, Mower county, Mimi.
We congratulate our worthy young
friends. Both bride and groom are well
known in Austin. Mr. Hanson has been
in the employ of johnson & Smith, at the
Plow Works, for nearly four years, and
is regarded as one Of the most faithful
and reliable men in their employ. Miss
Sorenson was known as the sister OF
Robert Jacobson 4 first wife; she has lived
in the family of Dr. Squires for several
years, and is vci, highly esteemed by
them, and by all who know her.
The railroad war still continues. The
c., NJ. & St. p. and Omaha roads each
sell tickets to Chicago for 81, while the
Rock Island road sends you through for
a sum total Of so cents. Returning, the
c., NJ. & st. p. and Omaha roads charge
full rates, while the Rock Island will
ticket You from Chicago to Albert Lea
for 81; from Albert Lea to St. Paul $4.25,
making the rate for the Whole return trip
$5.25. Or the passenger can lay over
one train and buy ticket over c., NJ. q
St. p. for 25 cents. The same Co. also
sell tickets from Albert Lea to Chicago
for 81, and from St. Paul to Albert Lea
for IS cents, which the Rock Island does
not. Austin eastern travel now goes to
Albert Lea for a start.
-WHIsKY.-We saw it. It came up on
Main street, looked about in an absent
minded bewildered, sort of way for a
lamp post, or policeman, to tie its horses
to, staggering about, druling as though
badly salivated. Finally woman came
up who seemed to recognize the creature
that could still swcar-and began plead
ing with him to go home with her. Not
succeeding, she went away, returning
soon with a little son and cighbor, who
began the process of the laying on of
hands. They succeeded in loading the
whisky in the wagon, the wife and moth
CT trying to steady his loathsome reeling
form, and the bright, sad-faced little son
driving the team. Poor wife! dear little
boy whisky did it all. Whisky disgraced
you; whisky impovcrishes you; and,
with your sad faces and pitiful pleading
look from your eyes, we know you ask,
els there no help?'
Married, at the residence of the
brides mother, Mrs. r. Kunath, of this
city, Tuesday evening of last week, Mr..
W. d. Rosbach OF Minneapolis. to Miss
Laura Kunath. 1t was, indeed, merry
company, who by invitation, were gath
cred at this home to witness the maria &c
of one of Austin's lovcliest daughters.
There were bridesmaids who were counted
lovely, and groomsmcn who willingly &C
knowledgcd the same, but we doubt if ever
lovelicr bride stood before the marriage
altar in this city than Laura Kunath. The
presents were numerous and elegant,
among them silver and gold-lined tea
set, the gift Of her family. Mr.. and Mrs.
Rosbach started Wednesday for an ex
tended eastern trip, after which they will
return to Minneapolis, where the happy
husband is engaged in business. May the
happiness:

-TIANKsGIvING DAY, 1992.-What a
royal day. How full of sunshine, and
balmy air, and brightness, was the outer
world, in and about Austin. We knew there
were some homes among US where sorrow
had left its shadow, where tears had so
recently fallen. We did not forget them.
We knew, too, there were those among
us to whom life looked hard and cheer
less, and the way before rough and bar
rem. We did not forget them either;
we remembered, that to all, some days of
sorrow, some days of hardship and toll
must come; and we remembered, too, that
these lessons Of adversely must come
to us all; and SO, with cheerful, brave
hearts, we would try to enjoy to-day the
blessings we have, the good gifts in our
possession. There is more sunshine than
shadow in this life. if we will only look
for it. There is more of joy and glad
ness than there is of sorrow and wretch
cdness. Indeed, it is a grand old glorious
world, and we will surely find the glory,
if with happy, honest hearts and cheerful
minds, we go about it.
