Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1885-02-25

The celebration OF w ash1ngtOn's
| birthday was very successful and inter-
esting occasion TO those who attended
the exercises last Saturday evening at the
Congregational church. The concert
| under the direction of DR.. Phillips, which
preceded the lecture, was an interesting
| and enjoyable feature of the evening,
''George" and martha" were present,
and with a score of assistants, delighted
their hearers with some good old-fashlon-
ed music. Of the lecture delivered by
| O. W. Shaw, upon the subject, wash
| ington as Man. we wish we had the
space to give full synopsis-or indeed
PRINT the lecture. 1t was creditable ef-
fort, as Mr.. Shaw's lectures always are,
and was delivered to large audience
who enjoyed 1t highly. The gross re-
ceipts, S4.25.
To TAx-PAYERs.-Only three days re-
main in which to pay your personal prop
erty taxes. In abiding to this matter the
Faribault Democrat says: Personal taxes
are now due and must be paid before the
first day of March to evade the 5 per
cent. penalty. This penalty cannot be
avoided Ivy paying the tax on the lst day
of March, or the I'd day Of March, or by
offering the excuse of bad roads, sickness
or anything else. If the county treasurer
RENTS the penalty he has to pay it out of
his own pocket for the law accepts of no
excuse. The treasurer does not wish to
add penny to any mans tax and does not
wish to be obliged to make forcible collec-
tons, and for that reason this plain state
ment is made that the matter may be full
ly understood, and further, that the law
cOmpels him to collect the tax, with per
cent. additional, if not paid before the
1st of March"

-IIoSoRs FOR AUSTIN AT NEW Or
LEANs.-Although a resident of Oak land
IN Freedom county, Mr.. S. n Frisblc is
and always has been so closely identified
with Austin, that we claim him as one OF
us. He trades with us, and goes tc
church with us, and his near frie nds and
relatives reside among US. If we didn't
say this much by way of Introduction, il
would be just like those Albert Lea
papers to try to steal the glory of the
Frisbic sent tub of December butter to
the New Orleans Exposition. His butter
was entered in competition with butter
from the leading dairynlen in Iowa, Wis
consin, Indiana. Vermont and Minnesota
; there being thirty entries of December
butter for premiums from the states
named. Our townsman, F. A. Richard
son, sent Mr.. Frlsbie table of the mark
| ings of the judges on each of the entries
/ The highest marking was 81. Frisbie'!
was 49, There were only 6 or mark
ngs above SO. Only two samples were
marked above Mr.. Frisbie's for flavor
the most essential quality. We call THU
record proud one for Mr.. Frisbie, ant
