While we have stood idle, Faribault.
Rochester, Austin and Albert Lea have
| quietly absorbed all the manufactures
they could lay hands upon. 1t is this
and this alone which gives them the adj
vantage over Observation-Disclosures
Herald.
Yes, Austin is doing we'll. With our
new railroad and other new enterprises,
aided by the united work of our citizens,
Austin ought to double in population in
the next five years.
j. A. Presman & Co. of this city are
doing flourisLlng business in the sale of
their popular summer drinks. They manu-
facture bottled soda, in lemon, vanilla,
strawberry, sarsaparilla, little daisy and
other flavors. Also bottled birch and
root beer, ginger ale, champagne cider
and Louisville sweet and crab elders.
They are put up in cases of 2 dozen bot
ties, and shipped to any point desired.
Orders from abroad solicited.
There is one blessing We know of in
this hot weather. These hot days and
nights are the making of corn, and what
would we do without our johnny cake :?
Or if our corn crop should 60 back on US,
what would the Austin Canning Factory
do, and all the good people who are Just
getting used to eating the best canned
corn that is made in the United States?
So, when you are sweltering, just think
how the corn is bounding upward.
Mr. Wood, of the 5,0O0-acre farm
near Taopi, in this county, has, as our

! MCBRIDE, THE GROCER
There is every reason why one should
take his time these days in the accom-
pllshment of almost anything Work
and worry predispose to sunstroke. The
person who permits himself to get excit-
ed, and scold, and fly off the handle, be-
cause things don't 20 just right, accom-
pljshes but little, and does himself great
injury 1t is the cool, calm, quiet person
who gets along the best in all kinds OF
weather. and especially in hot weather
SO don't worry, if you would keep COOL
During the prevalence of such hot
weather, our diet should he made up
chiefly of fruits and vegetables. In re.
gard to tropical fruits, at this season OF
the year, the best oranges are the Messina,
and come from Italy. The best lemons
also come from that place. The Florida
or Indian river oranges and lemons arc
best in December. The best and largest
bananas come from Aspinwall The best
pears from California, also the best
grapes.
In all most all kinds Of weather, there
can be seen a crowd of loafers sitting
about or standing on the First National
Bank street corner, obstructing those
who desire to enter for business and also
the average pedestrian. Standing in
groups on the sidewalks and crossings
anywhere is a habit which all should
avoid. 1t is done through thoughtless
ness, with no evil intentions, and we
hope word of advice will be sufficient
and kindly received.
"A. s. Everest of Atchison, Kansas
was the attorney for defendants in the
Star Route cases instituted by the Gov
eminent against the Parkers of Atchison
to recover about $240, 600 claimed to have
been unlawfully paid them by the P. O.
Department, for mail service on certain
routes. These cases were tried in the U
S. District Court at Topeka in June, and t
verdict rendered for the defendants. The
Commonwealth thus refers to Mr.. Everest
who was once q resident of Austin:
The defendants were represented by
Col. A. s. Everest of Atchison, who man
aged the defense in an able manner, anC
as has been seen, successful. His ad
dress to the jury is spoken of by those wh<
heard it as a weighty argument, and
strong legal presentation of the facts and
the law.
Monday afternoon, a few minute
before six o'clock as II. S. Smith and Sey
mour johnson were leaving their manu-
factory for supper, they noticed the ap
pearance of smoke behind the G. A. R
hall. Fastening along, they discovered
the small barn belonging to Mrs. J. w
Ritche, and standing in close proximity
to the hall, in flames The alarm wa
given and soon crowd assembled, ane
after some lively work the 6. A. r. build
ing was saved, although not until tn
veterans had rallied in force and removed
its contents. The atmosphere. thougl
heated by one of the warmest days Of tn
season, was almost perfectly still, els
, great damage to the surrounding pre-
perty might have ensucd. The fire doubt
{ less started from matches in the hands q
children.
We last week took a trip out to tn
farm of Mr.. VIM. Buck. in Mower cour
! ty. Mr.. Buck has "patch' of ~
acres all in one body and is, in all its es
sentials, probably the best stock farm
