Ladies, go and see them buy a bonnet
for yourself, and another for your little
girl, and when thus arrayed. you may be
sure that Solomon, in all his glory, was
not more bccomingly adorned.
Last Thursday afternoon, q team
standing in front of Andrews hardware
store, started up fora runaway, and sue
ceeded pretty well. They turned circle,
striking the wheels of the wagon against
the sidewalk on the opposite side Of the
street at Schleuder's new block. The
conclusion caused a woman who was in
the wagon, to turn complete somersault,
striking with full force, upon her head on
the walk. She was stunned and some
what bruised, but not seriously injured.
The team separated themselves from the
wagon, and were caught after running a
short distance.
We should think, by taking stroll
through our cemetery grounds, that the
majority of the lot-owners were dead and
buried beneath it's neglected sod. There
are lots in lakewood, and those not own
ed by non-residents, that have the ap-
pearance of never receiving one thought
or care. Hazel brush and rank weeds
cover the graves of fathers, mothers, and
children, and we cannot help but pity the
ones as to leave their graves in so I'M
slightly and neglected a condition. Wake
up, friends, and give this matter your
Immediate attention
The new Touring mill at Lansing is
being erected under the superintendence
of E. J. Phillips of this city. The frame
put in place. The main building is to be
in height from the bottom of the basement.
There will also be colnmodious additions.
1t will be Il combination burr and roller
mill. with 100 barrels capacity. Simon
Anderson, the owner, is the pioneer mill
man of Southern Minnesota, having built
the first Touring mill in Austin, besides
two or three mills on the Cedar. The
Lansing mill is the last one on the upper
Cedar, has large territory tributary
thereto, and will undoubtedly prove a
paying investment.
Last Wednesday night the new court
house had narrow escape from destruc
ton by fire, and all through the careless
ness of workman. One of the tinsmiths,
who are putting up the galvanized iron
work, left one of his stoves with fire in it
in the tower. The wind storm that struck
the city about ten o'clock scattered these
live Goals in every direction. Almost in
stantly sheet of flames appeared on the
scene, and the blazing chips and shavings
were taking all directions in the greatest
possible haste. Fortunately for Mower
county, the fire was discovered and ex-
tinguished before any special damage was
done, and our handsome county building
still stands in it's beauty and symmetry.
EDITOR TRANscR1PT:-The atter-
dants at the Congregational church en-
joyed rich treat last Sabbath morning
IN the temperance discourse delivered by
the pastor, Rev. G. E. Wright. While
listening to it could not but feel that it
should not be limited to the audience that
heard it, but that it ought to be printed
for the benefit of all whom it might reach
through your columns. And found that
others had the same thought, too. heard
a stranger say that it ought to be publish
ed as a temperance tract. That was a
new idea to inc, but it struck me as an
excellent one.
How many temperance workers are
there in the place who will put their hands
in their pockets and produce the funds
necessary, if Mr.. Wright's consent can be
