GAINESVILLE has Il creamery in view.
Mr.. II. b. Straight, of Hudson, Ohio,
proposes to put in everything for first
class creamery at his own expense, asking
no bonus whatever, except that the citi-
Zens ill an ice house that he will build.
1t strikes us that our neighboring city
can not do better than To ''catch on"
When Judson says she will, she
does it; and does it handsomely, MS the
returns in to-day's paper proves. There
is no lodging the fact, and without
disparaging the other towns that stood
boldly up to the rack, she presents the
most solid phalanx of any town in the
county. Only one straight Democratic
vote was cast in the town, and it is
evident that the man who deposited it,
was "little Off" The Third District
is reliably and solidly Republican.
Capt. J. II. Randall, of Vernon
Center, proprietor of the Touring mill
at that place, has his mill in first-class
shape and is making some excellent
flour. He is prepared TO do all kinds
of custom grinding, and guarantees sa-
tisfaction. Mr.. Randall presented the
editor of The FREE Press with a sack
of his premium buckwheat, made by IL
patent process, which is the finest we
ever saw. This buckwheat is for sale
in many of the principal grocery stores
in the city.
Mrs. J. b. Hubbcll, formerly and
for years resident of this city, now of
st. Paul, was in the city last week, the
guest of Mr.. p. b Sparrow's family,
visiting with her many friends here.
Saturday evening she received the sad
intelligence that her little son Robbie
had his thigh broken by being run over
with q load of WOOD and left for home
Sunday morning. The little fellow left
here last spring with a broken arm,
and having but recently recovered from
that, is now the victim of a far more
serious and painful accident.
Mr.. y. J. Morrison has piece of
ground on his farm, situated on the
Agency road four miles from Mankato,
that rightly claims the belt. He has a
five acre lot that for twenty years has
been successfully cropped, principally
to wheat with an occasional crop of
corn, that this year yields II bushels
and fraction of corn to the acre. The
land has never been enriched other
than by the natural process, and We
doubt if like record can be produced
in the State. Mr.. Morrison has another
field of thirteen acres, that he is conf
dent will produce larger yield even
than the one above noted. If our
friends can beat this report let us hear
from them.
-Advices received on the matter of
voting aid to the Mankato, Austin &
St. Cloud railroad gives the result as
overwhelmingly for the aid in all the
towns which voted on the question
Tuesday. Austin city voted 100000,
the vote standing 475 tor, to against;
Austin town carried the bonus of $1,000
by vote of liz to IL; Lansing, "a 1000,
carried the aid by ii to 35. Alma City
and Freedom both successfully carried
the bonus, and the unanimity with
which the and is being carried through,
would indicate that there is little or no
question ola "clcan sweep" Mcpherson
votes on the question to-day, and adj
vices received, indicate that the votes
will count in favor of the project by a
nice ma jority
Tho Boaril of Trade met in session
yesterday morning, and resolved to do
all within their power to induce the
Northwestern Dairymcn's Association
To hold its seventeenth annual meeting
in this city. The Board instructed its
Secretary To confer with the Mayor and
Council on the importance of this
meeting, and solicit their co operation.
That Mankato presents superior in
duccmcnts over any other town in
Southern Minnesota for such a gather
ing as the Dairymcn's Association IS
conceded; and our people have only to
put forth II proper excrtion to succeed.
A convention of this character would
arouse our farmers to more activity in
stock-raising and give them clearer
conception of the great Importance of
the dairy. BY all means we should
have the meeting here.
We are advised from a reliable
source that tile M. E. pastor, of Lake
Crystal, editor of the Christian Friend,
circulated written paper stating that
Robert Roberts was the only man on
either Legislative ticket who had not
pledged himself to vote in favor of SUBJ
hitting to vote of the people the
question of an amendment to the con-
stitution. With all due respect to this
ministerial gentleman, we knoao that
he erred in the statement. There were
at least three men on the Republican
ticket who made no pledges on this
