From the Guardian:
MI. Ed Cooper sold to Peter LEM.

Mr.. f. Cooper has bought of f. S.
Shockey, breeder in Lawrence, kas.,
the famous IIerford Bull Lawyer, :"
imported from England by Mr.. Hugh
Paul, of Heron Lake. His sire aud
dam are recorded in the English Her
ford Herd Book and ''Lawyer' in the
American Herd Book. Mr.. Cooper
paid $3.50 for the bull, and says he las
a bargain in him. He considers him
cheap at $500.
The Luverne Hel aid, Edgerton Ell
terprise, and several other exchanges,
compliment Atty Nelson highly for
his able and eloquent defence OF the
Riley girl. The man WHO gets away
with ''Lew'' either in law or real es-
tate, has to get up early in the morning
and work late at night.

The Pipestone Star says:
A man came here from the east and
says he changed cars three or four
times on his route, and at every DEPOT
and on every train, advertisements and
bills setting forth the beauties and ad-
vantages OF Pipestone County, stared
him III the face, and it seemed the
most important topic OF conversation.
From this we would Judge that our
friend Ed. Stanley must be doiug his
work OF advertising for Close Bros.
very satisfactorily.
No wonder Pipestone is booming. It
is men, pushing, working, advertising,
liberal men that make cities, ard not
location and natural advantages, as
many suppose.

The Agents Herald, soon to be call
ed the Public Herald, is still hard at it
showing up fraudulent advertisers; and
we find among the printed lists. some
''firms' that have played it on us. The
Herald ferrets out these doubtful cases
and if bogus or of the class of ''beats," $"
gives them series of free ADVERTISE
ments. It is published in Philadelphia
by l.. Lum Smith.-Shakopee Courier.
And the Herald is doing most val
liable service to publishers as we'll as
the general public. We believe its list
of "Dead-Beat Advertisers" is reliable,
for we find in it the following whom
we know to be frauds from little an.
noying experience with them:

A. Il. Seney, who has still large in.
terests at Rushmorc, in this county,
seems to be enlarging his business at
Sioux Falls. A recent number of the
Press says:
A. G. seney, of the Queen Bee Mill,
has some of the best granite territory
qnarries for the production Of pave
ment blocks We d, not youch for the
truth Of the rumor. but it has been cur
rent on the streets for the past few
days all the same, that Mr.. Seney in
tends to engage in the production OF
paving stone. Should this prove true
it will be another big card for Sioux
Falls, as it would have the effect of at
tracing still greater attention to our
incompatible paving material.
