nineteen year old son of A. ]. French,
of Window. In the early part OF winter
the young man, being somewhat ambl-
tious, thought it. best to take team and
start for the pineries. Soon after arrlv-
ing at the pineries he lost horse. and be-
gan woed-chepping. He was soon after
taken sick with pleurisy, and quite likely
not having the best of care, did not re-
cover. Some three or four weeks ago ne
came home, and is now a victim OF ty-
phoid. The young man is highly spoken
of by his acquaintance, and we hope
soon to hear of his recovery.

STREET CAR L1NE.-Thls is al enter
prise Austin is sure to have in the near
future. Application is soon to be made
to the Common Council by several of the
citizens of Austin for permission to build
and operate the line. The men who have
hold Of the enterprise mean business, and
after securing permission from the Coun-
Gil and charter from the Legislature,
will be in condition to start the work as
soon as it is thought sufficient patronage
can be obtained to pay expenses. If the
charter is not obtained now, it will not
be obtainable for two years, as it is that
length of time before the Legislature
meets again. Soon after the Austin,
Mankato & St. Cloud railroad is built,
which is almost sure to be commenced
early in the spring and completed inside
of two years, the Street Railway Co.
will probably build connecting line be.
tween the two depots. Stranger things
have happened than a street railway in
operation in Austin inside of the next
two or three years.
When times are good and the country
is prosperous is the time for the poor
man to make himself Independent by saw
ing his money. We are now in the
fourth year of a season of prosperity.
and the poor people, mechanics, laborers,
etc, all over the country, profiting by
past experience, are fast securing homes
for themselves by industry and economy.
The possession of property has made the
working man comparatively independent.
He is so situated that he is not compelled
to submit to any abrogation of his rights
as an employe. His habits of saving are
incentives to greater industry, and ad-
vance his status as workman. Having
an object to work for, labor is robbed of
it's drudgery, and with his mind relieved
of the dread of an old age Of poverty,
with cheerful domestic surroundings, and
blessed with the consciousness of indie
pendence, the workman becomes better
husband and father, a better man, bet
ter citizen and powerful factor in the
progressive interests of the common
wealth. The present and future prosper
ity of this great nation is not SO Deepen
dent upon the development of it's natur-
al resources, or the efforts of accumula-
ted capital, as it is upon the individual
efforts of its representatives of labor.
Get for yourselves home, and honest
labor will surely aid you.
-"HE G1vErH HIS BELOVED SLEEP"
Mrs. Amanda Adams, mother of Charles
B. Adams Of this city, died last Saturday
in Minneapolis, at the residence Of her
daughter, Mrs. r. L. Kimball. She was
50 years and three months of age.
Grandma Adams" as she was lovingly
and Familiarity called by the early settlers
of Austin, was resident of our city for
the greater part of twenty-five years,
coming here to live in 1856, a widow, with
her three children, Mrs. Kimball, Hattie,
and Charles. Her husband was a Meth
odist minister, and had died some years
before in Northern New York. She uni
ted with the NJ. E. church of this city, and
as long as her health would permit she was
faithful in her attendance upon all the
services. Freely she gave of her time and
her prayers to the cause she loved. Mrs.
Adams was faithful friend, most un-
selfish and tender mother, calm and gen.
tie in spirit, and possessing a Christian
faith that could but brighten and bring its
blessings to any home in which she dwelt.
Dear old mother! She has walked past
many q milestone, often foot-sore and
weary, yet never fainting by the wayside;
her unwavering faith in Christ her Re-
deemer, sustaining in every trial, and
leading her on to the ond-to Christ and
Heaven. For her, death had no fears.
For years she had been waiting to
be called up higher, and friends cannot,
and there is no need, to mourn that she
is dead. Hopefully, longingly, has she
looked forward to this blissful rest,
which she knew was awaiting her. The
snowy HAIR rests quietly upon her furrow
ed brow; the tired hands rest peacefully
above her breast; but she has passed on,
into the beautiful city, to be again united
to the beloved husband of her youth, to
meet her daughter-Mrs. Hattie Page
whose death at Los Angeles, CAL, proceed
ed hers but % days, and to be forever
with her Lord. "Land Of summer, Land
of beauty, Land of song, home of Christ
my Redeemer, / come, come"
