| John Frank put out two miles OF
willows for fence posts last spring, al
most all of which are growing. He took
fresh cut willow poles about three inches
through and twelve feet long in the early
spring and made holes with crow bal
along the line of fence two feet deep and
stuck them down and mulchcd them with
straw. Next spring he can attach the
wire to them and have an almost ever
lasting fence.-LeRoy Independent.
| Mrs. G. J. Short was considerably
surprised last Thursday afternoon by a
number of her lady friends walking into
her residence, and who. after unloading
| themselves in the dining room of va
rious mysterious packages, deliberately
walked into the sitting room and pro-
ceeded to make themselves as comfOrta-
bic as possible. The visit proved most
agreeable one to all.

We met E. B. Williams, the Super
intendent of the Turtle Greek Cheese Fac
tory, the other day, and from him learned
that the factory was doing fine business
this season, the average supply of milk
per day being $500 pounds. He says
this is about one-fourth more milk than
they have received any previous season.
THIS factory makes only full-cream
cheese, and it has areputation which gives
Its product the highest price in market.
Mr.. Williams has been Superintendent of
this fac tory for a number of years, and
the success OF the enterprise, and the ex-
cellent quality of the product, is due al
most wholly to his skill and knowledge
of the business.
! DEATH OF GEO. H. BEMIs.-We hear
of the death of another of Austin's first
settlers. A telegram came here last week
Tuesday to his brother Oliver, bearing
the sad tidings. George came to Austin
in May, 1856, where he remained until
fifteen years ago, when he left Austin
with his family for Utah, settling in Bling
ham Canyon, where he resided at the time
of his death, August 18th. His disease was
consumption, and he was fifty eight years
of age. He leaves wife and eight child
rem; six of the children were born in Aus
tin. Mr.. Bemis was member of the
Baptist church when resident here, was
an honest, honorable man, and highly
res pectcd by all the old settlers of Austin.
The minutes of the Third Annual
Meeting of the Minnesota Butter and
Cheese Association held at Austin last
December are printed and ready for dis
tribution. The pamphlet makes book
of 1872 pages, and from a hasty examina
ton, we should say it was quite free from
errors. The first fifteen pages Of the book
are devoted to ''Some Plain Facts About
Mower County" These pamphlets should
have wide distribution by our bushes.
men in the Eastern States for immigra
ton purposes. There are 5000 books
printed, and about 1000 of them will b,
available for this purpose. We under
stand there is deficiency in the printing
fund, and we would suggest that it nigh
easily be made up by selling the books a
10 cents each to such of the business mel
and others as have not heretofore con
. tributed. The work is valuable immi

citizen Of the place should aid the enter
