PERHAM.

Mr.. Editor, You may well be
proud of your coming city, for you
haye a class of men that take hold
and pull together, remembering that
know whereof we speak, having been
nearly round "God's footstool," and
pretty nearly through it.; that the
climate ofthese parts is not excelled.
It is true that some people; would like
sleighriding 81 the 4thef July, and
others would like an August sun at
Christmas, but that kind are scarce,
thank God. When you see man in
December, with the thermometer
thirty below, standing at a saloon
stove shivering, and remarking to
every man that comes in ''It's cold."
you will find his wife at home pick
ing up chips, or his landlord looking
for him to split some wood for his
board, whereas the prosperous "tem-
perate" man is flying round with the
remark, "This is glorious weather.
You'll find Suckers in every COM
munity.
1t is astonishing, Mr.. Editor, what
a lot of "titled gentry" we have just
abont the 4th of July. The honor
able So and So will speak we read
everywhere; except in our case.
They are generally strangers from
abroad; is it because man is seldom
honored in his own country? I, for
one, think that Wadena could find
home talent that can beat all import
ed orators. You have "Case" goods
that cannot be beat, |Taylors' that
are the flour OF the flock, 'tStuart''
that always can render good ac-
count of his stewa ardship, or boat, a
'Peake' that is bop pnd to get higher
and higher, "Cools'' that are coons,
':Potters" that ca mould any clay,
(but do not likf it,) threshing ma
chimes that are '1Ash-burners,' Mill
ers' that are fig 9ury, and you can
train 'Raw'sons; therefore why @Fos.
ter strange orators? YOn can het
all the beer that l drink on the glori-
Gus Fourth. that Perham and Wade
na can take the cake on good looking
smart women. lf,the fool-ki1ler has
missed the man who differs with me,
send the churl by freight to G. D. c.
We can use him to fill up a hole in
front of our store, as we are grading
We intend having 4th that is q
4th; every man in town is on the
Committee, the llrgest band in Min
nesota will be present, as every man
will have horn Every man being
an "Honorable," home talent will be
employed as "Orators. That mod
ern poem, ''Declaration of 1ndepend-
ence," by Bret Hart, will be read as
usual, and other delicacics served up.
Owing to the length of the intended
procession, the n. p. r. r. has kindly
ordered trains not to. run, and ten
dered us the use of their track. the
country around town being settled
up so thickly we cannot turn round.

THIS NAME ANNE first appeared among
US about 1872, but never became common
until popularized by Queen Anne, Of Bo-
hernia. IN 1881. Until English became the
tongue usually spoken in England. Of
course the name can only be found in the
French and Latin forms Of Anne and
Anna. But from 1881 downward until
the accession Of the house Of Hanover al
the earliest. the form in which we IND /
is always Annie. The ugly form Ann Is
purely the growth Of that tasteless
eighteenth century, which also dOcked
the final e in .'Blanch'' and vainly tried

coed in substituting Betsy Tor BIS u.
The often extravagant and sometimes = ~
estheticism Of the present day Is, to some
extent. a rebound from the dreary ugllness
Of that utilitarian age. Queen Anne &C
easiOnally signed her name as Anna but,
bad speller though she was, viii venture
70 assert that she never peTpetrated the
enormiry Of signing Ann.
