IKE New sehsol House.
We paid q visit to the new school
house yesterday, and there found
Greenlaw Hurst, (the contractor)
busy as ! naylor, laying out work for
one man, telling another where to 60
and what to do, etc. ETC., his time
being .monopolized SO as to not give
him a7moment, scarcely, to converse
with 70 reporter. But nevertheless,
we made a few observations. The
goodnatured workmen. all seemed to
enjoy their employment and were
sending in the nails, planning, saving,
etc. for all that was out. We also
went down into tho basement whore
we found Mr.. Calbetzor manufac.
turing stone by the wholesale; they
were beauties, and will ornament tho
building in good shape. The frame
is all up, and tho roof will be put on
in few days. There will be two
departments down stairs and one up
stairs with 4. very cemmodious reci'
tation room. The building will be
a perfect beauty when completed,
and a very convenient school house.
Mr.. Hurst is doing an excellent jst
and the work is being advanced a
rapidly as could be expected.

The Farmers Elevator.

The Farmers Elevator.
Work has been commenced on the
Farmers Elevator: It 10 located just
east OF the N. P. Elevator. The
foundation is nearly completed, and
we must say it is one Of the best
foundations ever put under
an elevator. The committee would
allow no toggeling at all. Every
joint is fitted to protection. The
size of the building on the ground
will be 30x79: s The elevatorprope
will be 30x33, with 38ft. studs. The
warehouse on the east end will be
30x30, with loft. studs, and the ell
CINE room and office on the west end
will be 16x30, with 8ft. studs: The
engine will be a ten horse power,
with fifteen horse power boiler.
J. j. Moak, the contractor informed us
that work was being pushed As rapid.
ly as possible, and that he expected
to have the frame up this week. but
was somewhat delayed on account of
not getting timber fast enough. 1t
is going to be splendid elevator
when completed, and will be an orna-
ment to the town and an honor to
the farmers.

Tin Wedding.

Last Monday night, Mr.. and Ars
C. H. Peake celebrated the 10th an
niversary Of their welded life by
giving grand reception at Peake's
Hall. Cards were sent out in due
season,and their many friends invited
to spend few hours with them, and
it was a very pleasant affair indeed.
As we entered the hall, and beheld
Charles mounted with an elegant tin
plug hat, (Which. by the way. set off
his manly form to perfection,) grasp
ing in one hand a glittering tin cane,
it occurred to US that he was getting
a little extravagant. But then, Of
course, tin wedding does not come
but once in a mans lifetime, so we
concluded it was all right and gave
him a hearty congratulation. Mrs :.
Peake was also decked out with
tin bonnet, the reflection of which
helped to deepen the color Of her yet
rosy cheeks After the friends had
all arrived, and the presents were all
deposited on long aebles they were
presented to the happy couple by
Prof G. A. Whitney, who made some
very appropriate remarks, stating that
We should all be happy to attend
their golden wedding. Mr.. Peake
then thanked his friends for the many
gifts which they had made them, STAT
ing that he appreciated their kind
ness. Then the crowd gathered in
groups around the table to look at
the presents. There were some splen-
did designs in tin ware displayed.
and the presents were many. After
the viewing Of the presents, goodly
number remained and spent = few
hours tripping the lighl fantastic toe.
The music which was furnished by
Prof. and Mrs. Atcherson was ex-
cellent, and all say they never spent
a more enjoyable time. Below We
give list of the presents and the
names of the donors, as near as we
could get them, although there are a
number of presents that We could not
find out who they were presented Bly,
and therefore cannot give them:

Harvest has commenced in ear

Warm days and cool nights are not
just what we want to push the corn
along. If the crop natures, it will
be the largest ever raised in Wadena
County.
Accident-Charley Ralph had the
misfortune to break his collar bone,
one day last week, while shooting at
pole.cat. The gun went hard at
both ends. Drs. Cremett and Bah
cock set the broken member. The
patient is getting along as well as can
be expected under the circumstances.
S. Lester, by way Of dedicating his
new house, gave a social hop last Fri
day night, but owing to the gentle
shower just at dark, and the stormy
appearance Of tho heavens, only
about = dozen couple made their ap.
pearance, and being determined not
to be deprived of the pleasure they
had anticipated for want of = larger
crowd, as the music struck up, the
young gents (and some old uns)
clasped their arms around the slen-
der waists of the fair ones and
whirled away in the dizzy waltz.
Supper was served at about -
O'Clock, and the hungry dancers did
ample justice to the good things
placed before them. After supper
they again abandoned themselves to
revelry, as the dreamy, sensueus

good, barley is all cut, and oats are
ready for the harvester. Some of
the early sown wheat will be ready
to harvest, the latter part of this
week. Farmers generally are in a
pleasant MOOD although the yield

average. Potatoes are promising an
abundant yield. Hay is a lighter

is more secured than at a correspond.
