We learn that all the oil mills III
the country have dropped down to
$500 per ton for cotton seed. OF
course this is equivalent TO about
800 here. If this will check the
sale OF cotton seed 1t will be Il good
thing for the country as the seed on
the land is much better than selling
TT reduced price. 1t is strange
that the laboring class do not look at
this matter in the proper light II
they rent it is 10 their interest to put
the seed Oh the land, if they work
for part Of the crop it is to their ill.,
terest to put the seed on the land as
every bushel of corn made i half the
laborers part. All parties are bene-
fitted by the Use Of the seed on the

Mr.. E. Moore has been unfortunate
in having his arm again broken, by
trying to haul logs from side hill.
A log that he had hitched to rolled
against him and in trying TO stop it he
got his arm under the log and there
being no one to help him he had to
start the horses up to pull the log
from off his arm. He now lies at
home in critical condition. DR.. Ir
win, of Olivet, is in attendance.
Herbert Wells arrived home from a
visit south and is looking well.
Anthem Nelson, son of JAS. A. Mel.

Christmas went off splendidly here
abouts. Some of our young athletes
visited wildwood and took lessons in
astronomy with those that understood
the science with gloves on. Our boys
declared it wonderful privilege to
look through d glass darkly at the
innumerable heavenly bodies as they
passed in rapid succession before
their vision--though the effort was
quite a strain upon their eyes-leav-
ing great circles here and there of a
black and blue color. But they say
it S so nice to study astronomy.

dividual matter we should have moth
ing to say, but as it is for the welfare
Of The public we would say that it
will eventually build up city on this
side, and before many years. A free
bridge is what is needed and we must
have it, otherwise we will stay at
home unless necessarily obliged to go
to Red Wing. We should band TO-
gether and say to the merchants and
business men of Red Wing that if
they want our custom they must meet
lis half way. We do not ask Red
Wing to build the bridge alone as we
will subscribe our mite with the rest,
but as Red Wing is the most interest
ed she ought to start the project. We
now have railroad in view and who
knows if we are lei alone but that we
may have a market of our own!
