LOCAL NOTES.

pounds.
Business is now crowding our rail-
roads to the full extent of their rum
ming capacity, and the time must now
come in few days, when money will
be flying around in most every direc-
ton.
Wheat came into town last Satur-
day and Monday with rush, and
business took quite Il start to the front.
Some of the farmers have not threshed
and other have hauled in no wheat
yet, blowing having been the main
business.
Dnring the two weeks, or since the
opening OF the round elevator at this
place, it has taken in over 900 BUSH
els of wheat. As this elevator is pur-
chasing for Duiuth, the quantity re-
ceived by it shows what the farmers
think of that market.
If our merchants would take a Soci
able trip up towards Herman, they
would ascertain the fact that that
town is getting away with consiGera-
bic trade which legitimately belongs
here. \ ijttle e.ectioneerimg for bust
ness sometimes pays well.
The cistern across the track has
finally been finished, and the first fire
occurs in that part Of town, will hear
from it in fine style. The town is now
provided with four of these cisterns,
which puts il in very good shape for
water, on sudden emergency.
AS from fifteen to twenty travelling
statesmen make Norris every Saturday
night, for 4 stopping place, they
must find good living here. There is
no place in the northwest where they
are better cared for than here, and this
must be the reason why they come.
James Dempsey has started a branch
harness shop at Starbuck, which he
expected to open for business this
morning. He Will keep a full supply
of harness, sadlery, etc, on hand there
stores is quite an evidence Of success.
Hugh Rankin and Miss Julia Hegg
were married by E. E. Solseth, Justice
Of the Peace, on Monday last. Miss
Hegg could speak no English, and Mr..
Rankin could speak no Norwegian,
but of course little thing like this
would not prevent a happy union.
Thus goes on the mingling of races.
Our farmers cannot find fault with
the favorable opportunities they have
had this season on account Of weather
to do their blowing. They have
hurried so fast to get a little ground
plowed before it froze up, that they
have already plowed much more than
last season, and in few cases more
than they cared about.
Richard Gumb, resident, of this
place, while at work on Bakers farm
threshing, last week Tuesday, in pitch
ing bundles on the machine, caught
his fork in the belt, which was forced
back, striking him in the bowels, OF
which wound he died last Saturday,
and was buried Sunday. He leaves
a wife a several children.
The Swedish church building is now
inclosed, and has the roof on, and
makes a nice appearing building
The members deserve great credit fol
their untiring industry in getting suf
ficient means together in such short
time, and getting it so far along before
cold weather. It is intended to have
it entirely finished this fall.
Mrs. Weber handed in her letter
declining to longer be in the field fol
the office of County Superintendent o
Schools, after the paper was ready fol
press, and in the haste to get it in, thu
printer, through mistake, made it reat
that she, "withdray from the course,
when it should have read, "withdrav
from the canvass" We dislike sucl
mistakes as much as any one, ant
hope to have as few Of them as posi-
able.
There has not been as much ma
chinery sold in this county this yea
as last, and the reason is supposed t.
be that many of the farmers are pre-
pairing to go into stock and por
raising. 1t is an excellent ide
whether it has much truth in it @
not. A large field of nice wheat doe
look somewhat captivating we wi
admit, but large drove of cattle
sheep, horses, and swine gets ava
with the wheat to an amazing degre
and will give the pocket more none
to jingle.
The special telegram correspondent
of the Pioneer Press, could not col
fine himself to writing for one frs
class paper alone, 50 he contributed
bit of an article to the Olive Brancl
If Henry would only keep the "oliy
