The harvest home festival at the
Episcopal church last Saturday after
noon and Sunday, were highly enjoy
ed by large number of our people.
The church looked fine on Sunday,
and gave evidence that ours was tru-
ly a land ofplenty.
The family of Mr., R. G. Coburn,
late of Buffalo, arrived here a few
days ago, and are now domiciled in
their house on third street. It is ex-
pected that Miss Coburn will teach
the higher department in the Middle
town school, this fall.
Mr.. John Bardon captured a fine
young deer last Wednesday morning.
The animal had come into town to see
the cars, perhaps, got frightened and
ran down into the mud at the edge of
the bay, and thus became an easy
prey to the brave hunter Of the Ne
madji.
With new paper and paint, Smith
has greatly improved the interior Of
his barber shop. He will in q short
time put in another chair for the bet
ter accommodation Of his increasing
business. Smith is a good barber, and
we are glad to note these evidences Of
prosperity.
Our sable friend, Mr.. Bonga, has
been taking up subscription this
week for his own benefit. He wants to
get back to his friends in Dakota, and
says he will not return if he can once
more get away. AS ours is a generous
people, he viii no doubt succeed in
getting away,
Mr.. R. II. Pendergast, Of the
justly celebrated Summit Nursery, Of
Minneapolis was in the city this week
supplying our people with all sorts of
small fruits, shrubs, &c. His fruit
trees are always as represented and
being all Of hardy kinds will grow and |
do well in this soil and climate.
Mr. Vincent Roy, our oldest and
deservedly popular merchant, was
handsomely caned by some of his |
friends few days ago, 1t was a very
handsome stick, gold-headed, and in
honor Of his 57th birthday. May he
live many years yet, and never have
any more actual need for the cane
than he does to-day,
Mr.. Thomas Bower, the jolly
grave stone man from St. Paul, ex-
hibited his benign countenance in the
Times sanctum last Wednesday, bat
he eouldn't-sclI Us a stone, with all
his smiles and pretty epitaphs. A
tomb stone is about the only thing a
good, live, family journal like the
TINES has no use for.
We are glad to note that our
board Of Commissioners finally agreed /
with the sidewalk ideas of the TINES, |
and have given Us a nice broad walk
on Second street between Becker and
Nettleton Avenues, where a, narrow
walk had been contemplated. "a
thing Of beauty is ajoy forever" and
this will apply to that piece Of side
walk-umtil a new one is needed.
WHO can beat US? We have thir-
teen lawyers in Superior, and eleven
of these are candidates for the Office of
county Attorney. 1t is Of course need
less to add that the other two are al
ready provided fer. We would suggest
that 10 nomination be made for this
particular office but that it be declar-
ed "free tc all, and that all enter for
the prize, and the man that gets the
most votes takes it.
Mr.. and Mrs Logue left us last
Tuesday for their old home near Erie
Pennsylvania, where they will spend
the winter Mr. Logue's health has
been quite poor for some time past,
and it was thought that a change of
climate would be the best medicine he
could take. The TINES wishes them
pleasant home visit, and safe return
in the spring, with fully restored
health.
To look at the man, not one in
hundred but would set Bob. McLain
down as q REV or at least ''Dea-
CON-" which enviable reputation he en-
ioyed up to last Monday evening.
Then Bob, Enthusiastically speaking
took a tumble, and, O, my country
man, what a tumble. But we will
draw the curtain here. Those who
were in the vicinity of the post office
declare that everything looked blue
and smelled of birthstone as Bob once
again, as in days of yore, shouldered
