Not long ago family were about
taking pleasure trip on the cars,

to the father that he had better count

Our exchanges speak very f1attering-
ly of the Lenora Austin Combination,
and we believe that an entertainment
of unusual merit awaits those who
visit Berkin's Hall this evening.

LosT.-Two wheat tickets given by
the elevator at Johnson station TO Otto
Kemp, of Morris. One of the tickets
was for about twenty-five bushels, the
other for thlrty-nine. The finder will
be literally rewarded by leaving the
same at Wolff & Wells store. Mr..
Kemp can hardly afford to lose the
value which the tickets represent and
we hope the finder will return them
promptly.
DR.. A. G. Greenlee, of Sank Centre,
is now with DR.. Hale as his assistant.
DIR. Hale expects, after finishing his
work in Morris, to spend few days

remove to st. Paul to locate perma-
nently. The amount of work he will
have to do before going to st. Paul is
much more than one man can accom-

therefore will be indispensable.

committee to visit some locality where
creameries are in operation, thorough
ly post themselves and report soon.
The citizens appeared to be in earnest
and we may look for the necessary
work this winter for an opening in the
spring.

addition all deficiencies of the present
will more than be made good in the
future, our readers no doubt will be
glad to make all due allowances. The
