The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1882-11-24
A Big Bonanza.

The Pioneer Press Co. has issued
new and brilliant poster advertising
The Weekly Pioneer Press for the season
OF 1928. This paper is so well known
and appreciated as to hardly require our
hearty endorsement, but to those who
may not have seen it, If there are any
such in this county, we would say
emphatically that it is by far the best
Weekly in the West.
Its columns are full of well and
carefully selected matter, giving COM
plete and accurate reports of the politi-
cal, scientific and business worlds. To
some of It's special features, such as
Hints for the Household" "What
Women Want to Know" THE Farm"
Commercial Review" etc, We would
call particular attention.
Having effected very favorable
clubbing arrangement with the publish
ers, we are enabled to offer the Weekly
Pioneer Press and The FREE Press for
the very low price of $3.50 per annum,
postage paid. Sample copies of either
paper can be had upon application to
the publisher. Send in your names.
The Presbyterian, Congregational,
Methodist and Baptist churches, will
hold union services Thanksgiving day
at the Methodist church, at 1880 o.
clock. The character of the services
will be different from the ordinary
Thanksgiving service. Instead of the
usual long sermon the four pastors
each will give short addresses of 10
minutes on themes appropriate for the
occasion. Singing is to be prominent
feature. Gospel hymns will be used
and all are invited to join in the singing.
Let all turn out and make tins day of
Thanksgiving to God. In this change
the pastors have shown a progressive
spirit and disposition to make the
services of the day of a popular charac-
ter. 1t is hoped that our people will
show their appreciation of this effort by
a good turn out. aye that fear the
Lord, praise him." "Let the people
praise thee, o God; let all the people
praise thee" "Let everything that
hath breath praise the Lord. Praise we
the Lord" "Oh give thanks unto the
God of heaven: for his mercy endureth
| forever"
The Waseca Herald seems to take
rather a confident view of the Mankato,
Austin 81 st. Cloud road. 1t says that
"since it is settled fact that the road
is to be built, there seems to be no
good reason why any OF the towns in
Waseca county should bond themselves
to aid the enterprise" The "settled
fact" OF the matter is that unless 5000,
900 is voted as bonus along the line
of the proposed route, the road will
not be built, and if Waseca county de-
sires to encourage the enterprise, she
should contribute her share of the funds
to be raised.
"A purported MankatO letter pub
lished i'm Wednesdays st. Paul Dis
patch says: 1--WE know whereof we
speak when we say that not soil
tary representative elect is for Win
dom's reelection" If the above
WAS penned i'm MankatO, the writer
either wilfully falsified, or shows a
degree of ignorance that is hardly
creditable to Il single resident of
Mankato. We have only to refer to
Mr.. Spauldirg's card in another
place, saying nothing about the well
known preferences of the other mem.
bers.elect.
The memorial service on the life
and character of VIM. q. Durkee that
was to have been held on Wednesday
evening last, has been postponed until
after the return of Mrs. Durkie from
indianapolis, where she has gone with
her little son.
