Read and reflect: "1Hp James Nor
rison- F2etcher-Free Press gang" That is
the typographical construction the Re-
rie0 puts on it. Immense sources, bring
forth massive issue.
Our citizens who have not already
done SO, should come forward and SUBJ
scribe for one or two shares in the fair
Association The meeting which closed
yesterday falls $1,000 short of paying
the premiums and expenses, and this
sum has been put up by few of the
directors, so that every purse should
be paid in full and on the spot. Let
every man who has a desire to see this
organization push forward come to it's
rescue. Now is the time TO show your
interest in the city and you can do il
in no more substantial manner than
indicated above.
A very pleasant social event took
place yesterday morning ut the resi-
dence of Mrs. M. G. Milnor on State
street. Prof. Darius Steward, Supt. of
schools at st. Charles, and formerly
principal of the High School in this
city, was united in marriage with Miss
Ella j. Minor. A number of friends
of the.family sat down to sumptuous
wedding breakfast after which the
happy couple took the train for their
new home. Rev. A. w. Edwards per-
formed the ceremony. The bride has
been teacher in our public schools for
many years, and bears an enviable re-
putation as teacher and lady. All
friends here unite in one universal re-
commentator of Mankato's fair daugh-
ter to the people of st. Charles, and
hope that many years of connubial
felicity await the newly married
couple.
The Mapleton correspondent ofthe
Lake Crystal Union gives the following
account of one of J. l.. Browns gener-
GUS acts. "IIurrah! for the circus. On
Saturday our esteemed fellow towns
man, J. +. Brown, the banker, took
eleven of his children whose ages range
from six to twelve years, to the circus
at Mankato. They took a picnic dinner
and we think Brown must have had Il
"picnic' looking after his little brood.
His good wife would liked very much
to have joined the party, but as the
children could not all go she was COM
PEELED to stay at home to look after the
rest of the family. Thanks to Browns
big heart, eleven of the little boys of
Mapleton will long remember that day
as one of the happlest of their lives
Brown has lots of the 1iSens spirit,
and manifests it in just such acts.
One of the most enjoyable social
events Of the season took place at the
residence of Mr.. A. M. Smith last Tues
day evening, being a reception given
by Mr.. Smith and his estimable wife,
in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Hicks,
Of Sioux City, whose wedding at the
latter place was noted in these columns |
q few weeks ago. Mrs. Hicks is a
daughter of Rev. Mr.. Richmond, a
former pastor of the Episcopal church
Of this place. Mrs. Smith invited
large number of the young BRIDES
and about so assembled to add
pleasure to the OCCASION Refresh
menrs rich and abundant were served,
and the young people embellished the
