VERNDALE, Aug. 3O.-Verndale is having her
share of dullness along with the rest. Farmers,
however, are attending right to their knitting,
and although it has been rather wet, grain will
pretty much all be saved in good shape. Grain
will be threshed early. Both elevators are ready
TO receive wheat. When that cereal begins to
move times will be better, money will circulate
more freely, and business will revive.
IT. A. Cross, merchant OF Manter, Shell Praire
is in town on business. He reports trade rather
hight just at present, but on the whole good
Mauter is on second prairie, pleasantly situated,
and win coon have $4,000 Touring mill Mr..
Cross Is the only merchant between Nerudale
and Park Rapids, and consequently controls a
pretty good trade. Being young man OF push,
he VIII undoubtedly get to the front. Madam
Rumor hath it that he is looking for a wife, Who
gets him does well, for he is ''bully' good boy,
and besides owns dashing outfit, that would be
no small recommend in a girls eye.
Col Martin and wife, of southern Illinois, are
visiting old friends at this place. We had the
pleasure of meeting the colonel who is banker
in Salem, and by the way very affable and in
telligcnt man. They are the guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. Vim. Elston.
Blowers & johnson, merchants, late of New
York, have bought out II. Petit & Son and
opened up business. Mr.. johnson has moved
here already. Mr.. Blowers will follow soon.
They seem thorough going business men and we
bespeak for them good share of trade.
Ed Swift has completed one of the finest resi-
dences in town. the same being occupied by c..
Elston. We understand that Ed who is now
eking out the miserable existence invariably al
lotted to the single man, will not always remain
in that desolate condition. Verify ''he that get
teth wife getteth good thing and is blessed of
the Lord"
Dave Stevenson has bought the feed store of
s. W. Reynolds and is good man for the bust
ness. None of you fellows down there need be
afraid OF him, for you can't sell him more than
he will pay for. lie is one of the men who be-
lieves there is truth in the old saying that 'hon-
esty is the best policy.
d. j. Bosbrook has put mp elegant office
sign for DR.. Morell. Yes, and the doctor has
been and gone and bought house, too, and we
should judge from the fierce look Of determine
ton that seems to have got its hold upon him of
lvte, coupled with the far of and vacant gaze.
bOru OF heavenly devotion to some fair maid who
is so and yet 50 far, that, yes we should
naturally conclude that Doc. was tired OF hoofng
alone. From the present outlook we should not
be much surprised if the doctor got married to
somebody inside OF year. More later.
Downer & Horton is the name of new firm
about to open hardware store at Park Rapids.
They are buying stock in St. Paul now. They
are reported good men.
The Wadena county bank reports itself in a
fourishihg condition. Although the demand for
money has been very large, the bank officials say
there has not been a demand they have not been
able TO meet with plenty to spare Few banks
can say much these times The bank has
been in operation something over two years and
