Prof. George sends the editor of the
TRANSCRIPT an invitation to attend his
musical convention at Owatonna this
week. The closing scene comes off Sat
urday evening, and we suppose that is
the time he most desires our presence.
Though our avoirdupois as songster is
considered very light, we should be glad
to be present and look through our cog,
giles at the chorus. The Prof. says, tell
the Austin singers we will give them all
hearty welcome if they will come and
join U.S."
If you want millinery, go and look
| over the stock of goods at the Park Place.
You will find them doing rushing bust
ness, with fine and large assortment to
select from, and Mrs. Lord, Austin's pio-
neer milliner, in charge. 1t will pay 10
examine their goods, and for spot cash
you can get more for your money than at
any other millinery house in Austin.
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 becomingly adorned.
DIR. j. J. Clemmer and wife, of Cresco,
Iowa, had their silver wedding celebrated
April 10Th, by big surprise party. Over
one hundred of the citizens of Cresco
took possession of the house, bringing
with them large number of appropriate
presents in silver. All of these twenty
five years the DR.. and his wife have spent
in Cresco and vicinity, and of those resid-
ing in the county at the time of the
marriage twenty-one were present to GEL
citrate their twenty fifth anniversary.
The Platndealer says ''the surprise was
complete, and Mr.. aud Mrs. Clemmer con-
TESS it as one of the most enjoyable and
welcome visits ever made them" The
Austin friends of the genial DR.. Clemmer
extend congratulations, and hope their
second honeymoon may light up their way
all along the line, even down to the golden
wedding.
The creamery will be running in full
blast in few days. The farmers about
Austin should take pains to patrenize this
creamery literally 1t is an institution
of great benefit to them, and it cannot be
a success unless the farmers will interest
themselves in it The first years of a
creamery are always years of peril. The
owner takes all the chances-the farmer
none. He must have large patronage
to make the business pay. 1t costs him
as much to gather half load of cream as
full load. Every farmer should increase
the number of his cows. 1t is to the in
terest of every farmer that the creamery
men should make money. The Austin
Creamery lost money last year. Every
farmer should do his part toward helping
Messrs. Page & Richardson to make
money this year. Stop complaining and
criticizing, and try encouragement and
commentator.
-1MPRovEMENTs.-W hope to see a
good many new. buildings erected in
Austin the present season. There is
already considerable inquiry for eligible
resident lots, and in almost every case,
the parties so inquiring intend to build.
John w. Hoy has the frame up for a
new house on Maple street, next west of
David Banks property. The location is
very fine, and the house, which will be a
very good one, will cost, we should say,
over $4,000.
L. NJ. Ober is building a substantial adj
dition to his house in Morgan's addition.
=: Work on the courthouse is progressing
finely. The first story walls will soon be
finished, after which the building will
grow more rapidly, as above the first
story there are no vaults to make, and not
so many partitions to build.
We understand Mr.. Schleuder has made
arrangements with Mr.. Alsip to run up
the walls of his new block us soon as the
foundation is in.
There is still hope that the Richards
Mayor lot, next north of Schleuders con-
templated new block, will he built upon
this season. A fine brick building will
go up if satisfactory arrangements can be
made as to title. We shall probably
know in few days.
"A band of pilgrims, three in number,
made quite an unexpected raid on Jones'
hardware store, holding fifteen dollar
picnic afterward. For particulars read
the following: Wednesday afternoon,
No. of the pilgrims came into the store
alone and purchased Ascent jack-knife.
He sighted the money-drawer in the safe
by paying for the jack-knife with ten
dollar bill, which was made into change
from the safe drawer. Later on No.
came in to direct letter. The obliging
Eugene Wood offered him the freedom OF
the desk, which is near the SAFE About
this time No. 1 again made his appearance,
who wanted to trade his knife for another
kind. No. came in and wanted to look
at some coat hooks. The two succeeded
in diverting Clerk Woods attention COM
pletely. The plan worked most beauti-
fully. OF course the safe door was not
closed. When Mr.. Wood was through
with the man who wished the hook, No.
2, who was excelling in penmanship at
the desk, had hooked the money drawer
and skipped. The drawer happened to
have but SIS in it, which was fortunate
for Jones. When the loss was discovered
the trio were not come at-able. A day or
two later they were heard from at Mime
apolis where they undertook the same
kind of a trick, but were caught and
jailed, clerk giving one Of them a dose
of lead in the stomach for his supper.

says: after long sickness from lung
fever I used Browns Iron Bitters and
gained strength.
