man of fine capabilities who seems to
be we'll adapted to newspaper work.

in the business part of the village. He
has made all advantageous change.
a large quantity of flour from the
Riverside Roller Mill, of Morris, was
received here last week. The flour
sent out by that mill is inferior to
none and will probably sell rapidly.
The Graceville Alliance ut its last
meeting passed a resolution request

reports are used to depress the mar

Last Friday there was trial of the
workings of the Hapgood Sulky pillow
as compared with an ordinary walk
ing pillow. The sulky pillow was two
inches wider than the other, but prov
ed to he of lighter draft. The Hap
good sulky seems to be growing in
popularity. w. H. Murray is the
Graceville agent.
The Graceville Drainrtie company
presented the well known and popu-
lar play, Ten Nights in Bar Room,
in the town hall last Friday evening
before good sized audience. The
company did remarkably we'll and all
were pleased with their entertain
ment. A social hop followed in which
a goodly number participated.
The Emerson House is maintaining
its enviable reputation for excellence
in more ways than one. The sleeping
are perfect and the
table is always supplied with. the lux
uries as we'll as the substant1aIs.
Fresh strawberries were among other
enjoyed for last Sundays dim
ner. Nothing is too good for guests
of the Emerson House.
Transcript: Minnesota beats the
World for fish. If you don't believe it
just come to Graceville, and we will
prove it. Don't spend ten or fifteen
dollars for fishing tackle but bring a
good sized club and a pitchfork. They
are so thick around here that one man
stands on the bank and hits them with
a club and another stacks them up on
the bank. Up in Dakota the pickerel
got so thick in the river that the suck
ers had to get out and walk. tits said
they have made beaten road OH each
side of the river, and higher up in
Hidewood creek they have raised the
water so that several bridges have been
swept away. 1t is still worse in some
of the lakes, where they have swum
in and drank up all the water. There
they are gathered, so they say, by
driving a horse rake through the lake
bed and raking them up in windows.
