LOCAL NOTES.


cago Cottage Organs.
The sound of the carpenters ham
mer is still heard pounding away upon
new buildings.
Jerry Mccarthy has struck town
with a new hat, which has been sutfi-
GENTLY wet ut proper invcrva!>.
More than two miles of ears pass
through ard out OF town every day.
Railroad business must be largely on
the increase.
A sharp man says, the reason why
we have had so little Indian Summer
this season, is that the Squaws ran OFT
with the Indian.
Young Charley Sutton made slight
mistake yesterday. In the place OF
turning his buggy around, he turned
it over, but 40 one was hurt.
l.. c. Spoener is moving the Nc
Pherson stable out on his farm near
town, for barn, to give way for Il
nice building when all IS ready.
There has been quite a number OF
strangers in town this week, who were
perfectly peaceable and appeared wise,
but whose ultimate designs we have
not learned.
A large number of wild geese and
ducks will he saved the trouble of go
Ing south to spend the winter in a
milder climate, as they are being re-
tanned here for baking purposes.
DR.. Sutherland has caused the small
building which stood near the round
elevator, to be placed each corner upon
the hind wheels of wagons, and drawn
to his house, for the extension of
wood-shed.
The cotton crop will fall short of
last years crop, a million bales. 1t
was sad day when cotton lost the
crown, and a lucky one when wheat
was made King, with Il wealthy EN-
pire in the North west.
The Millers' Association may with
a wink of the eye. cause the Pioneer
Press to desist from assisting the
farmers III getting what their wheat is
worth, but the St. Paul Dispatch does
not take it worth a cent.
An old codger, upon entering first
class saloon in town, was asked why
he drank so much, answered that ma
ture hates vacuum or hollow place,
and he vas trying to fill up large
one under his coat, with beer.
A Pocket accout book was found
between Menage farm and Morris
yesterday. The book has leather
cover, and contains a few postage
stamps. Owner can have the same,
by applying to VIM. J. Morris.
Our advice TO farmers is to keep
wheat in granaries and do blowing
while this weather lasts. We still be-
lieve that the condition Of the Morris
wheat market will soon be improved,
when wheat can be marketed at its
real value.
While railroad smashups are the
order of the day, oar lines here, the st.
P, NJ. & NJ, B. V. branch, and the L..
F. & D., seem, to be almost entirely
free from them, and the chances are
over these lines, that one will live I'M
til arriving at the journeys end.
It is said that there is another new
baby of which we have failed to make
mention. We are sorry it has so hap
nened, but they are arriving so very
fast it is difficult for rs to keep track
Of them. 1t not only rains sometimes,
but it has been known to pour down.
We do not find from the quotations
of quality, that the Duluth market
has any such grade as mo. l, or No.
2, Regular" If it has, will it please
tell us what it means. It looks to us,
as If it was Millers' Association kink
to dodge the Duluth market and quo
tations, so that no one can compare
the two.
Arthur Steadman has cut lose from
i,is large circle of single handed friends
i'm Morris, aud has taken unto himself
a wife, who, as wife should, will
nestle around the tender heart-strings
OF his future existence, and sew-bui-
tons on his garments in time, to save
the use of harsh language.
When our young Judge of Probate
sits as court, il is in the first right
hand room Of the court house; when
he sits as Village Recorder, 1t is in his
Office over the Stevens County Bank ;
when he reigns as Assistant or Deputy
County Auditor, he pulls down his
vest behind the table in the County
Auditors office. Don't get it mixed.
C.. E. Bush, of Mass, who has OBJ
tanned considerable land in this coun-
ty under mortgage foreclosure, came
here in company with Mr.. Wright OF
Fergus Falls, and has looked the lands
over; he is well pleased with them.
and was in fact surprised to find the
land so valuable. Mr.. Bush looked
