son, also Messrs. Hunkins, Campbell,
Engle and Anderson, placed themselves

plate at the above named photographers.

The Imperial Tree Bean is attracting
very much attention among agricultur-
lists. 1t is remarkable producer, and
in quality excels the far-famed white
navy. The Minneapolis Farmers Iri-
6une, among the many other excellent
things it is doing to promote good has
bandry in the Northwest, is giving away
to its readers packages of the seed of the
Tree Bean. Our readers will be inter
ested in seeing the Tri6une's liberal offer.

"A beautiful bible was presented to
Vert Anderson last week, by Rev. G. E.
Wright, in behalf of himself and friends,
for his faithful and regular attendance
on church service. Since the organiza-
ton of the young peoples choir, Vert
has been one of its most efficient mem
bers, and his presence and help will be
sadly missed. He started Saturday, and
will stop day or two in Wisconsin, and
then day or so in Chicago, after which
he will resume his journey to West Point.
The Baptist Central Association of
Minnesota, of which the Baptist church
of Austin is "a member, held it's 25th an
niversary in the Baptist church in Owa-
tonna Tuesday and Wednesday of last
week. The opening sermon was preached
by Rev. W. E. Stanley. Rev. G. D. Belden
was elected Moderator, Rev. w. E. Stan
ley Secretary and P. Bliss Treasurer.
Tuesday evening Rev. c. D. Belden gave
a very interesting historical address which
will be printed. The next anniversary
will he held IN Austin the last Tuesday
in May, 1885. Rev. w. E. Stanley, Hen
~ Jacobs, Mrs: G. E. Wilbour and Mrs.
]. E. Robinson attended the Association.
We print the following item from the
Minneapolis Evening Journal as Mr.. Fer
kins was resident Of our city not many
years ago.
Oscar Perkins, the valedictorian of
the University graduating class this year,
is regarded by his friends as a mental pro
Dizzy, and with some reason. His vale
dictory address which we published yester-
day, shows remarkable maturity of
thought for boy Of only twenty. Mr..
Perkins has persued his studies under diff
fculties that would discourage any boy
of average perseverance. He is very near
sighted, and not only this, but his eyes are
so weak that he is obliged to be very spar
ing in the use of them, and to refrain
from reading almost entirely. He could
not possibly have kept up his studies had
1t not been for the devotion and patience
of his mother and sister, who have read
over most of his lessons to him, and thus
supplied him with the kindly eyes of love.
Young Perkins designs to be teacher
and ultimately college professor. We
predict that the world will hear of him if
he lives and retains his health.
