| e. 4. Balrd arrived III town last week
Monday from Glencoe. Ed is valued
clerk in the bank of that place, and is
out on two weeks vacation. He says
Glencoe offers $40, 900 for any north and
south railroad, which offer is intended as
bid for the Austin, Mankato & St.
Cloud.
Mower County Bank, in handsome
gilt letters, now adorns the front of Will
kins & Smiths bank. The sign was gotten
up at Madison, Wis, and is really a cred
table piece of work. We think nothing
pays business man 50 we'll, for the
amount of money he has to invest, as
good sign.
The popular hotel for the masses is
the Davidson House. 1t is most con-
venlently located. has good barn accom-
modations for teams, and is well kept.
The farmer or transient, who desires good
accommodations at a reasonable price,
can do no better than patronize the
Davidson.
Arrangements have been perfected
for holding State Teachers Institute in
Mower county this year. The date has
been fixed for the second day of April at
Austin. Forty. five institutes were held
last year. C. NJ. Boutelle, J. T. McClary
and T. J. Gray and probably Prof. Parr
of the Journal of Education, will assist
the State Superintendent this year.

make up goods to order, for the next 80
days, at reduced prices. He has large
stock of the best cloths for sale and more

the best workmen, and guarantees perfect
fits and well-madc garments.
| Maj Whittle of Chicago does not
want Mary A. Livermore to speak in Far
we'll hall. He thinks she may be very
good woman" but to allow her to speak
in the place is ''perversion of the use of
the hall from the purposes for which it
was designed"
Guess it was just as well Maj. Whittle
did not come to Austin to hold religious
meetings. We have bigotry enough of
our own to contend with.
John Monroe, Of this city, aged 70,
died last Thursday. Mr.. Monroe has
lived in Austin and vicinity from 1858 to
the day Of his death, except q two years.
absence in Missouri. He leaves a wife
about his own age; two SONS, James and
Hyde, IN the real estate business. Mime
apolls, and daughter, Mrs. Hart, who
also lives in Minneapolis. The children
were present at the funeral service last
Saturday. He was an henored member
of the Baptist church of this city.
REAL ESTATE BooM!AThere is very
general feeling in Austin that the coming
season will witness more activity in real
estate than in any previous season for
several years. With the commencement
of work on the new railroad, some think
a genuine boom is in store for US. Lyman
D. Baird has caught the fever; and starts
the boom this week with full double
column advertisement in the TRANSCRIPT.
Read it, friends, and if you want city or
country real estate. give Lyman q call
forthwith, before it is too late.
j. M. Greenman's $129 appropriation
bill has passed the Senate. and the pros
poets are good that it will pass the house.
Serves John just right. He earned the
money, and is simply getting what is just
lily due him. The only mistake WAS in
the court not requiring bond for costs OF
A. E. Meigs, who, acting 90 lickspittls
for Page. commenced the action against
French. The judgment for several hun
dred dollars and costs which French holds
against Meigs, isgood fornothing because
Meigs is worthless. #
