Little Falls Transcript: Charley
Sprandel returned on Friday last
from all extended hunting trip ON the
Little Elk, and about the only trophy
he brought home from the chase was
a badly frozen nose.
A quiet wedding occurred at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. o. c. Hap-
son last Sunday evening in which
Mr.. j. b. Johnson and Miss Carrie
Anderson were the parties most in
terested; congratulations are in order.
Owing to the intense cold on Mon
day evening the NJ. Q. c. party was
somewhat smaller than usual.
Enough were present however to
make the dancing pleasant and all
present seemed to thoroughly enjoy
themselves. The next party will be
given on Friday evening of next week.
With elevators filled with wheat all
over the county, the market is glutted.
Nobody wants to buy. Millers have
wheat enough to supply all their
wants and as result the price is low.
The way 10 raise the price is to stop
raising wheat in such large quantities
for a few years. Raise other kind of
grain, raise stock and then the de-
mand for wheat will make its culture
profitable.
Knute Nelson and w. D. Washburn
have introduced bills in congress that
are conflicting. Contrary to the con-
tident predictions of his enemies of a
year ago he is not getting OH well ut
all with those Minneapolis fellows.
Ii Mr.. Nelson isn't careful he will lose
the lacking of those ringsters down
thee and will get himself talked
about very favorably up here in his
home district.
The receipts of the st. Paul revenue
office for the year were Sab, 725. Or
this amount more than half, Or S222,-
600, was derived from the sale of beer
stamps, and sos, ISL from licenses. AT
the custom house the year has shown
a gratifying increase of business. The
receipts for the year were $64 ,016, an
increase of $1S,767 over those of 1882.
The chief feature of the year has been
the opening of DIRECT tea trade with
China and Japan.
IT have the honor" said General
Butler, at the Medieo-Lego dinner at
Delmonico's-"I have the honor of
knowing three of the greatest liars
the greatest living liars in America"
"Who are they? ?" asked the veneer
able Sam Ward, as he dropped a
chicken partridge to listen to the Gen.
''Well sir" said the General, as he
scratched his head thoughtfully,
Mark Twain is one, and Eli Perkins
the other two!''
Sank Centre Herald: Rev. T. G.
Hudson left on Manday morning for
Mankato, where he has already COM
menced his clerical labors, as rector of
the Episcopal church there. He says
the church is fine brick edifice, new
ly painted and carpeted, in perfect
order, and it's members are active and
energetic workers. He has rented a
very comfortable home which he will
ft up and furnish, he having sent his
household goods thither from Morris,
and when ready for occupancy his
wife and son will join him, sometime
within the next fortnight:
On Thursday and Friday of last week
about four hundred bushels of buck
wheat was converted into -four at the |
Riverside Roller Mill. Ruckwheat
pan cakes ought to be plentiful now.
Owing to the sickness of Mrs. John |
Olander and her little girl the family |
is quite reduced in circumstances.
Unlike many others Mr.. Olander does
not ask for charity but for work. We
hope those having wood to saw or
other work to do will see that he is
provided for He danbe f9ihd at his
home on Sixth Street opposite the
livery stable.
