acre farm in Grand Meadow township.
He has 400 acres of it into crops this year
100 acres in corn. and 800 in small
grains. The balance Of the farm is seed
ed down. Mr.. Hand has just completed
his threshing, and the following is the
thresher's record-being the yield from
the 800 acres: :s.s

We call it splendid record. It will be
noticed that wheat was not his largest
crop as heretofore. Farmers can readily
make money on other crops. but wheat
will have to be abandoned in Mower
county. A total grain yield Of nearly
10. 500 bushels on 800 acres is good enough.
&C. NJ. Fern1 and l.. G. Wheeler Of
this city, have gone to St. Paul and form
ed partnership in business. They have
purchased of Hezekiah Hall, 341 Jackson
street. large stock of furniture, and the
new firm of 'Fernald & Wheeler COM
menced business in their new location on
the 18th. Mr.. Fernald is well known as
the pioneer furniture dealer of Austin,
having been engaged in that business in
this city for the past fifteen years. He
thoroughly understands every part of the
business, and this knowledge will be of
great value to him in his larger field.
Mr.. Fernald is reliable and trustworthy,
and has the respect and regard of very
many friends in Austin, who wish him
abundant success. The same can truth
fully be said of Mr.. Wheeler, except as to
his experience in that particular line of
business, which is limited to his present
venture. We understand large build
ing is to be built for them next spring, to
be 50x130, stories.
-AccIDENTs.-Ali little 3-year old son
of Lou Clark, living about 10 miles south.
west of Austin, slipped and fell last
Thursday morning, breaking his left
thigh. DR.. Squires of this city was called.
1t is bad break and requires skillful
treatment, but we have confidence that
the DR.. will see the little fellow through
all right.
Ed Clark, a nephew of Reese B. Clark,
of this city, employed as a brakeman on
the c., NJ. & St. P. r. R., had his hand
crushed while coupling cars, last week
Monday night. He was at work on the
St. Louis night express; which draws
freight between M son City and St. Paul.
At some point between Mason City and
Austin, while coupling cars, the accident
to his hand occurred. In the morning,
after the train arrived at Austin, DR..
Squires was called, and amputated the
three first fingers of his left hand.
We have given these Treasures of
the Poetic World hasty glance, and
we find among them, many cherished
friends, and also, as Ruskin says, ''fairy
palaces of beautiful thoughts, bright fan
cies, satisfied memories, noble histories,
faithful sayings, treasures of precious
and restful thoughts, houses built with
out hands for our souls to live in Mrs.
NJ. G. Moe, of Rochester, is now in the

Rev. p. B. Fisk, the Field Agent of
Carleton College, Mortified, addressed
the Congregational church audience last
Sunday morning. The weather was
rainy, and the attendance consequently
slim. However, those present responded
very literally to Rev. Fisk's appeal for
aid for the college. The sum asked for was
800, with which to furnish one Of the
| rooms in the new ladies' hall. Harlan
W. Page offered to give $50, if the men,
bers of the church would make mp the
other $50. Pledges were passed around,
and $50. 80 were raised. making, with Mr..
Pages contribution, total sum of $780,
80. One of the members of the church
remarked, after hearing the result, that it
was fortunate for the church that this
contribution did hot come in q dry day,
or it would have cleaned them out Rev.
Fisk was very much pleased with the re-
suit, and is firm believer in the Austin
church. He says a church so bountifnl
as this will have no difficulty in their
own financial affairs. Mr.. Fisk reports
Carleton College as very prosperous.
There are about $50 students in atten-
dance this term, which is about 80 more
than have attended any other term.
Carleton College observatory furnishes
the time, every day at 10 noon, to all Of
Minnesota, part of Wisconsin and North
| ern Dakota. Minnesotians can well be
proud of this college. -, ~.
