Charlie Lord, one of our popular
musicians, now has a small band OF his
own. 1t contains about twenty pieces,
all played at once and on short notice,
either day or night, by nice new boy
baby at his house. That's right, Charles,
Austin's reputation for good music must
be sustained, and you are the man to lead.

Rev. F. A. Marsh and family on their
return to Beloit, via Iowa, received a tel
egram saying that the only brother OF
Mrs. Marsh was drowned. He was a
promising young man of Is years, mem
Der of the Congregational church, and
about to enter his senior year in the high
school. His home was in Beloit with Mr..
and Mrs. Marsh.
Rev. n. F. Hoyt, pastor of the Bap-
fist church of Albert Lea, has resigned
and is contemplating removing to Color
ado to regain his health. His place is al
ready filled by Rev. Howard NJ. Jones, of
Shellburne Falls, Mass. Mr.. Jones is
spoken of as minister of fine abilities,
and of great zeal in the work in which he
has so long been engaged.
"A most exquisite gem went by express
to the address of Mr.. Beadle, of Cresco,
it represented beautiful pond lilies resting
upon the bosom of lake, and to see them
was to imagine their delicate fragrance,
with an almost irresistible desire to apply
the nose for a deeper inhalation. The
painting was the work of Mrs. Florence
Holway, and bespeaks former volumes, as
an artist. -MstcAeN Go. Times.
Aaron Hall and wife, old residents of
Pleasant Valley, expect this week to move
to Fillmore county ] to their new home
about three miles north of Spring Valley.
Here their only daughter lives and they
will be in the timber, protected from the
prairie billiards. The Root River post
office, of which Mr.. Hall has been post
master, will probably be discontinued,
the mail going to High Forest.
Miss Hattie Lambert returned to her
home IN New Sharon, Iowa, last Saturday:
She carried away several pounds more of
herself than she brought, and also a
brighter eye and more blooming cheek.
We all trust that this improvement is the
beginning of speedy restoration to per-
feet health. Come again, Miss Hattie,
for you are one of those people who are
most popular where best known.
GENERALLY. grain looks well now and
fair crop at least is promised. Oats and
barley will yield heavily, and wheat will
undoubtedly turn out better than it has
for five years. Corn is growing rapidly,
looking good to the farmers eye. The
weather during the past week has been
propitious, and the prognostications for
the week before us are favorable. Already
are some fields Of barley cut, and others
are ready for The sickle.
After boring down until he was afraid
the Chinese would violate the U. s. laws
by coming into this country through the
hole, d. &. Smith has obtained excellent wa
ter at his residence. Mr. Smith lives on that
peculiar strip of land running through
the center Of this city on which it is i'm
possible to get good water from the ordi-
nary well. But he has gone below the
strata supplying the poor water and good
wholesome palatable water is his reward.
AT a meeting of the Board of Trade
last Friday, Rev. E. r. LathrOp, 4. O..
Hall, and C. Wilton were appointed a
committee to solicit aid for the Elgin suf-
ferers. After consultation with Mayor
Dorr, it seemed best to- all to submit the
matter to the City Council next Friday
evening and to give as CITY,. We trust
that the matter will be promptly attended
to, and that Austin will shoW no niggard-
~ hand to the town so disastrously struck
by the cyclone.

Austin is represented in the Advisory
