THE BOSS STOCK COUNTRY

THE Ross STOCK COUNTRY
Elsewhere We present write-up Of
Senator Crosdy's East Branch Stock
Farm near Adrian. One point we wisl,
to call special editorial attention to-
In the interview our reporter ques-
toned the Senator as to tue advantages
of this rs Il stock country and drew
from him the statement that an Iowa
stock raiser who recently visited Mobiles
county to buy young stock decided not
to buy. He was so impressed with the
superiority OF our county for stock
raising that he concluded to return
with view to shipping one thousand
bead Of stock, which lie now has OH
hand, to this locality next spring.
There is no doubt about it, gentle
men, that all we have to do to secure
herds of cattle on thousand fields is
to make our advantages known. Get
experienced stock men to come in and
see for themselves and they will trans
fer their operations to this stock
growers Paradise as rapidly as possible.
The reasons are obvious. Our S. and
$40 lands grow better grass and will
produce healthier and better stock than
the $50 and 500 lands further south.
Next, railroads are radiating in all
directions through the country, like
spokes from u hub, and the best mar
kets can be as readily reached from
here as from Iowa or Illinois.
TAKEN 70 THE ASYLUM
On Saturday morning last Sheriff
Miller took Capt. A. Miner to the asy-
lum for the insane ut st. Peter. He
was assisted by Lewis Miner, the Cap
tain's son, from Eagle Lake, who lad
been here for several days before, hav-
ing come to take charge of his father.
This will be sad news to many of the
Captains friends in this and adjoining
counties. Few men were better known
in Southwestern Minnesota. He was
one of the pioneers and Il few years ago
owned fine farm in the suburbs of
Jackson. When the National Colony
was started. Capt. Miner came to Wor-
Ellington and for several years was
employed by Miller, Humiston & Co.
in locating parties Oh government lands
and assisting in opening up farms. He
afterwards engaged III the real estate
business 1T this point and did Il good
business.
For year or more the Captain has
been in failing health. For the past
few months his memory seems to have
failed entirely and he gradually sank
into state of mental weakness and
semi-insanity. lie has rarely mani
tested any disposition to violence, but
his friends thought it best to place him
in the asylum for treatment.
We hope soon to hear of his restora.
ton to health, if that is possible, and
of his return to his family.
TO THE PARENTS or woH7HINGToN.
We wish to call the attention
of the parents of Wortllington to
the fact that II. J. W. Bloom,
the Imbecile Dude of the Record, is
gathering their children into his office
and melting them to malicious mis-.
chief, which is a fineable and jailable
offence. There is no doubt whatever
that he is the very imbecile wretch who
procured the hanging of three dead
cats on our door and the hanging Of
placards on our building. The morn
ing after the cat outrage, the boys of
Worthington were running into his
office by the dozen to report and get
fresh instructions. Among these boys
were some whose parents are our
friends and who denounce such out.
1ages. Yet tins beastly imbeclle, who
is assuming to edit paper for the
church people and the temperance peo-
pie of the town, IS c0rrupting their
children and melting them to the CON-
mission of acts which will end in pros
ecutions and fines.
CARD FROM GEO. D. DAYTON.
Some time since my attention was
called to the fact that the most success
full business men were in the habit of
carrying large amounts of Life Insur.
AnCe. For years l have been studying
the question. The more have studied
it, the more have been convinced that
it was my duty to keep my life insured.
l have gradually increased the amount
until now ana carrying $4,000 on my
life at an annual cost of $3.50. It is
quite an item of expense, but it is a
wonderful comfort. When have been
Inwe2l the thought of that life insur-
ance has done me more good than med
icine.
If the business men of Worthington
Will give this matter proper study, they
will soon be convinced that it is not
only a duty they owe their families to
carry life insurance, but also profita-
ole investment.
1 have the agency of the Mutual Life
Insurance Co. of n. Y. and also the
Northwestern Mutual, of Milwaukee.
The FORMER has assets aggregating
$101, lis, 248; the latter, $21, lis 2l.
shall be pleased to have any one
drop in and talk about the matter.
Respectfully,
