/" More rain, more rest,'' said the niger. Small
grain looks splendid, but is just peeping out
of the ground, and if the next three months don't
turn out warmer, there will be nc corn for the
pigs.
Our assessor has made his usual rounds He
has valued property rather high this year, but he
says, The county as we'll as the State Board Of
Equalization willlet well done alone.'' We hope
at least that his assertion will prove correct.

German Courtlanders, as three families who used
to reside in CORTLAND, Nicollet Co., have bought
improved farms in our town within the last year
and more are expected tomoye in. If they con-
tinue to come at the above rate, they will pretty
soon crowd out the NorWogians Let 'em come here

Linden and Lake Hanska are the smiling and
jolly towns now-a- days. as weddings are the gen
eral order of the day. Those who have not hith-
erto enjoyed the connubial felicity are now going
att at surprising rate. Under such circumstanc.

all over, as he is now pocketing the "ducats',
pretty lively.
Not week passes without wedding though
the recent Friday wedding has little romance
attached to it. 1t was more or less than wed,l-

and lots of fun besides. Nevertheless, Friday is
disagreeable day for everything and so it proved
to be here. The license was secured, the cakes
pies and other delicacies generally served on sucl
occasions was in readiness. even His Royal high
ness King Alcohol was invited to partake in the
jollf cation. The inyiter was mounted on horse.
back the whole day previous inviting guests. Al
was life and activity at the wedding
place, as it was eX pected to be wedding of NOR,
than ordinary greatness. Great was the surpris,
OF the bridegroom and his friends when it wa
ascertained that the bride had flown to New Uln
dnrlng the night, and was at that time speeding
toward Dakota as fast AS steam could prspell
G. q n. w. locomotive. A good time was enjoyed
by all present, nevertheless. OBSERVER
