The Austin creamery has already
made over 100 pounds of butter. Thir-
teen wagons are daily bringing cream to
the factory from over 200 patrons. Supt.
w. 5. Luther informs us that everything
is working nicely, and that large addi-
ton to the factory is soon to be added.
10 cents per inch for cream has been paid
since the 18th, which is higher than the
most of the creameries in Southern Min
nesota and Northern Iowa have paid.
Miss Alice Shultes left Austin Mon
day for her home in Kasson, where she
will remain some three or four weeks.
She will then start for the east, spending
the remainder of the summer vacation
sightseeing, and will also take in Cha
tauqua meantime. Miss Shultes leaves
many warm friends in Austin, having
taught in our public school for the past
six years. Society, church and school

labors among them. This she will value
beyond price, for it will speak to her
during.the days to come of the little band
of church workers of which she was an
interested helper. Her pupils of the
eighth grade presented her with an ele-

upon the inside. This, too, as she looks
upon it, will tell her of loving pupils

her years of school work among them.
-ttAsLEEP IN JESUS. Robert Jacob
son of this city, "fell asleep" Monday
evening; June 26. He died of erysipelas,
after an illness of little more than a week.
Robert was born in Stuppekobing, Den
mark, was 80 years of age, and had, SO
far as is known, no relatives in this coun-
try. He came to America in '73, and
soon after to Minnesota, settling in Oak
land, opening little carpenter shop. In
1876 he came to Austin, and entered the
employ of G. NJ. Fernald. In 1877 HIM
self, and the lady he soon after married,
made public profession of Christ and
united with the Baptist church of this
city. The same year he was married,
and in 70, his wife died, and soon after

when he went to St. Paul. Last May he
returned again to Austin, bringing with
him happy bride. He Immediately
went back to his old place IN Mr.. Fer
maids store. And 50 we trace along the
more prominent events of his life since
he came to America. Robert Jacobson
had many friends in Austin. He was
known as an active, earnest Christian.
His rock was Christ and on it he had
builded, and when in the agonies of death,
he found the foundations sure. He knew
that his release was near, and calmly and
peacefully waited for the end, freely con-
versing of its near approach. His fpner-
al was at the Baptist church Tuesday, at
4 o'clock, Rev. Belden officiating, and his
remains laid to rest beside his former
wife in lakewood Cemetery.

The observance of one Sunday il the
year known as ''Childrens Day." was first
introduced by Methodist churches.
Thinking it might be of interest to know
something of its origin we print the fol-
lowing extract from an article in the
Winona Republican,:
In making preparations for this com
memoration, the distinguished Bishop
Simpson of that church suggested and
carried through the committee having
offerings to be made during the ccnten'
narysh0uld be chiefly educational and that
an educational fund be established fol
the following purposes and under the fol
lowing conditions. I. The fund to be
vested in and administered by a board Of
trustees. 2. The interest of it to be ap
propriated to assist meritorious Sunday
School scholars of either sex who may
need help in obtaining an advanced educa
ton. 8. Each conference to share in
the annual proceeds of this fund in pro.
portion to the number of Sunday School
children under its care. In 1868 upon q
report being made by this board to the
general conference, that body directed
that the second Sunday in June in each
year, should be celebrated as "Children's
Day" forever by appropriate services the
whole day. and that the offerings made
on that day, especially those of the child
rem, should be devoted solely toward the
educational fund for assisting "meritori'
Gus young men and women who need il

The exercises and services in the church.
es on "Children's Day" are always adap'
ted to please and interest the young, and
also especially to impress upon children
the Importance of high aims in life, and
of obtaining those aims by means OF
mental and spiritual culture. The
churches are on that day beautifully
adorned with floral and other decorations
and all the surroundings and services, are
of the brightest and most gladstone
character; never in the history of the
world was there more beautiful plan fol-
