What a Stranger Thinks.

Our city for the past ten days has
been full of strangers, many Of whom
have been drawn here seeking for those
qualities which THE FREE PRESS has
so persistently advocated were here
awaiting development. They have
come, others are coming and soon the
tide connot be stemmed. Says one to
a representative of this paper few
days ago. "Your city has advantages
but few places possess. never saw
says lie, "what grand chances for manu-.
featuring you have, and what a
country tributary for consuming the
products" This seems to be the s0nti
ment of all. and We only need some one
to make start, when others will fall
into line and Mankato and Blue Eartl
county will double in wealth and pop
ulation within the next five years.

The Buchanan Comedy Company
which played at Union Hall, this city,
for six consecutive nights last week,
gained from those who attended their
plays, a reputation of excellence beyond
the average comedy troupes. The
majority of the company's artists were
of high order, and sustained their
parts Well, and those who failed to hear
them are now complaining that the
troupe did not stay longer, but as time

years, was with the we'll known dry
goods emporium of Jordan, Marsh Il
Co., of Boston, has moved to Blue Earth
county as permanent resident. We met
Mr.. Jewett at the recent Real Estate
convention, and ascertalned that he had
become so infatuated with our county
as to purchase 400 acres of land near
Good Thunder, and made up his mind
to cast his lot here. He is gentleman
possessing ample means, and being in
the prime Of life and full of energy,
will be welcome to our county.

Notes from the Country.

A drive about various portions of the
county, reveals two very important
facts, viz: that the condition of all
kinds of crops is the best, or at least rs
good rs ever before ut this
season. Wheat, oats and barley have
had most favorable weather since SOW
ing, and bear that healthy, deep green
look which is Indicative of promising
yield. Corn, although kept back for II
time after being planted, has within the
past ten days sprung forward at a tremen-
dous pace, and every warm, sunny
day makes perceptible change in its
advancement. Again, the farmers all wear
cheerful look us they speculate upon
the promising harvest, and speak more
encouragingly of agricultural matters.
Since they have abandoned the raising
of wheat exclusively, and gone deeper
into diversified farming, where the cost
of securing what they raise does not
consume o-thirds of their products,
they begin to find new interests devel
oping day by day. The past year has
been one of more than ordinary profit
to the agriculturist, because everything
he has raised has commanded an extra
ordinary high price. Potatoes have kept
up from 80 cents to $1.20 a bushel; oats
have readily brought from 40 to GO
cents: butter from lG to 35 cents; corn
from 80 to Is cents; wheat from 90
cents to $1.25, while cattle, hogs and
all live stock and poultry have been sold
at large profit. Upon the other hand,
articles of consumption which the farm
or is necessitated to purchase have not
risen in price, but in numerous
instances lower than for years pre-
vious. And a noticeable fact Is APP
parent by tour of observation, that
the farmers appreciate their prosperity
by making numerous improvements
around their premises, such as building
new fences, painting their houses and
barns and adding little here and there,
all Of which attract the eye of the
passer by. When one looks back and
reflects upon the many discouragements
and obstacles which have bcset the
farming community of Blue Earth
county in the last half dozen years, and
notes with what courage and fortitude
they have withstood them, he wonders
if they are not made Of sterner material
than the average farmer OF other Sec
tons. Give Blue Earth county two OF
three years of good average crops and
its farmers will take the lead OF
any county in the State.

the same expense as to run day times only,

Methodist Jubilee.
Last Tuesday evening the officers and

Last Tuesday evening the officers and
members OF the Methodist Episcopal
church of this city, held Jubilee to
commemorate the event of freeing
their church from debt. The spacious
room was filled with interested people,
while upon the platform sat Presiding
Elder Martin, Prof. ID. c. John, presi-
dent of Hamlin University, Rev. j. w.
Powell the first Methodist pastor at
this place and Rev's G. w. Savidge.
Harrington, Mans, Gleason and Pollock,
the latter, pastor Of the Presbyterian de-
nomination. The church was beautiful
ly decorated with profusion Of dainty
house plants and vines, whose sweet
odors pc rmeated every nook and corner
of the editice. Upon the wall back of
the pulpit in large letters of evergreens
were the words "Thls work l do;
it is finished" while upon either side
wall were the words "Frec" The pro.
gramme was an interesting one and
consisted of music, recitations, toasts
and scripture reading.
The exercises opened by singing the
doxology, followed by prayer by Rev.
c. W. Savidge. Music by the choir
was excellent. Miss Ida Mckinney read
an essay, followed by Mrs. Tompkins,
who read II history of the church written
in the style of ye olden time. which was
heartily enjoyed. Miss Ella Minor gave
recitation entitled IN sect in Heaven"
which was well rendered. Mr.. Andrew
Carson then read few passages of script
ure, followed by Miss Sue Gleason who
read, "Creeds of the Bells" in very
creditable manner indeed. Miss Taylor
recited recitation in admirable taste,
her gestures and voice showing more
than ordinary grace and culture.
Folio wing the last recitation several
letters were read from those expected to
be present but who were unable to at.
tend. Three minute toasts were then
in order with f. f. Lockerby as toast
master. The toasts were as follows:
"Thc first Pastorate," by Rev. ]. w.
Powell.
"Church Management" by Rev. c.
W. Savidge.
"Power of prayer" by Mrs. Shannon.
"The last Pastorate," by Rev. J. w.
Martin.

'"The Pew" by w. w. Keysor.
"Henceforth," by Prof. ID. c. John.
The Ju bilee closed by the choir sing
ing "Blow ye the trumpet, blow," and
prayer by Rev. Geo. Pollock.
Previous to closing, Mr.. S. w. Glea-
son who had charge Of the exercises,
stated that II. w. Beebc had the old |
$4,000 note cancelled, which has been
such an incubus upon the society,
placed between two pieces of glass for
preservation as mcmcnto of past labOrs
and anxieties.
The feeling seemed to be unanimous |
that Rev. &. w. Savidge was entitled to
the greater share of credit in freeing the |
church from its heavy burden of debt,
and people 80 expressed themselves.
After the meeting, the Young folks al
journed to the basement of the church
and enjoyed IN hour in various amuse-
ments.
