The surveyors commenced locating


city yesterday. They came in from
Rrownsdale, crossing the river north
east of Judge Cameron's, striking across
Water street near j. G. Engle's, thence
following along the west side of Jay
street to the Cedar river on the south,
where they will probably cross the river
about 400 feet west of the south bridge.
1t is said the depot will be located on
block 2, original village plat, near J. T.
Sargent's residence. Three cheers for
our side.
Are the Holsteins to have the next
boom? asks. the Rural New Yorker.
Their place as the first milk and cheese
breed has not been disputed. Will they
not force the Jerseys from their place as
the first butter breed? 1t looks as if the
greater flow of milk of the Holstcins
would more than compensate for lack of
richness. The Holstcins do not require
the delicate attention necessary for the
Jerseys, will eat rough food and Craze
on hot Summer day when the Jerseys
must have shade. Though so excellent
for milk and butter, the Holsteins are
not worthless for beef by any means.
They come nearer the ''all purpose cow
than any other.-Ec.

AT aaSunday School Convention held
at Dexter, Sunday, July 6, under the di-
rection of the County S. s. Association,
the President of the Association, Mr..
W. W. Engle, presided.
The attendance was large. Several
wagon loads of Sunday School workers
and children being present from Grand
Meadow, Rose Greek, Austin, Brownsville
and country surrounding.
The following topics were fully dis
cussed by Messrs. Sulzer, of Albert Lea,
Criswell of Grand Meadow, Rev. Chunn,
Mr.. and Mrs. McTavish, DR.. Wheelock of
Rose Greek, Messrs. Hoppinl and Derr of
Dexter, and Messrs. Engle, Willard and
Mcbride of Austin What benefit is Sun
day School to Church and Community?
How can we interest parents and children
in Sunday School? Duties of Superin-
tendent; Duties of Teachers; Duties of
scholars and parents; followed by an
hour of questions and answ ers on Sunday
School topics.
There was great interest manifested,
and close attention shown. The singing,
led by the choir of the Congregational
church at Dexter, was the marked feature
of the exercises, being model of prompt
ness and spirit. We think much good
must result from such gatherings as this.
