BEAUTIFUL WORTHINGTON
AGAIN.
The ADVANCE informed its readers
at the time of the recent visits of the
editors of the Ellsworth News and the
Luverne Herald to our town. The ed
itor of the News says:
Last Friday we made our first visit
to WOrthington since coming to the
county. Owing to its being harvest
time there was not big rush of bust.

lage would be hard to find, ornament
ed as 1t is with its beautiful shade
trees and fine residence houses. We
are under obligations to Mr.. l.. 3.
Bennett, Worthington's popular P.
NJ, for courtesies shown Us while
there. In company with Mr.. Bennett
we called on the county officers, and
found them all very pleasant and en-
tertalning gentlemen, and our visit at
the court house was very enjoyable.
We also had a very pleasant visit with
A. p. Miller. editor of the Advance.

Judge Durfee, H. E. Torrance and
others. We are also under lasting OBJ
legations to::Mr. Daniel Shell, the pop

tel, which by the way is one of the
best kept hotels in this part of the
country, for favors shown US. He took
US in his buggy and drove US about
town and to the west end of Okabena
lake.. the incest little body of water in
the state. Altogether it was the rleas-
antest day we have spent in many q
day.
The editor of the Luverne Herald
returned home somewhat disappointed
at not finding Worthington as mean a
place as he had thought it to be, and
he sat down and gave some Of Us the
following taffy right off the griddle:
But we must do Worthington JUS
tice. 1t is very pretty town. IL is
arousing itself a little from its long,
continued lethargy, and may yet be-
come live town. 1t has also among
its citizens some whole.souled. big
hearted, enterprising men, and we are
told that the community as q whole is
made up of very pleasant ard agreea-
BILE people. During the writer's brief
stay in Worthington last Saturday he
had the pleasure of meeting some of
Worthington's leading citizens and
feels compelled to acknowledge cour-
tesies which, perhaps, in view Of what
the Herald has heretofore said of W0r-
thington, were not altogether merited.
We called, of course, on Bro. Miller
our friend of the Advance, to
whom the Herald has sometimes refer
red in terms that wouldn't look well
in eulogy of his character. "With
all his faults" we haye a good deal of
respect for Brother Miller and have
never hesitated to acknowledge his su-
perior ability and sterling worth. He
has fine Office. located in fine build

continued, incessant and not altogeth-
er we'll repaid labOrs on behalf of WOr-
thington, and has won for himself and
the Advance a reputation that brings
credit to his town.
Brother Hitchcock. of the Globe, has
a splendid Office and is doing a good
business. He is giving to his patrons
an excellent paper-newsy, able, and
characterized by the evidences of good
judgment and careful management
He is pleasant gentleman and the
Herald man formed a very favorable
opinion alike OF him and Of the bright
young members of his family who con-
stitute the Globe force. Brother La
throp, pastor of the NJ. f. church, is
doing excellent work in his new field
Of labor and has won among the peo-
pie Of Worthington the admiration and
affection to which his splendid abili.
ties. genuine worth and sterling man
hood entitle him.
The ADVANCE has frequently as
serted during the past ten years, in its
fight upon the special, class, sumptu-
ary and unconstitutional legislation of
republican congresses, that We would
be for the democratic party tooth and
nail if we could trust the democrats to
stop all such wrong legislation. But
we can't. Cleveland has signed the
oleomargarine bill and seems never to
have thought what he was doing. He
was simply following republican prece.
dents. The notion seems to be gaining
ground that congress can do anything,
aud soon it will be called upon for liq.
uor laws, horse laws. cattle laws, dog
laws, DOCTORS laws. church laws, etc.
Where is the party that will stop this
kind of unconstitutional legislation?
