PANEL and PLAQUE AND TILE. ;,

1t is safe to say that lola people were
somewhat astonished ut the amount
and character of artistic talent display.

flee. The exhibition was certainly q
source of genuine pleasure to every
lover of the beautiful. We have not
space to enter into a detailed account
of the entire list. but, while their aver
age excellence seemed to us far above
the ordinary work of amateurs, some
pieces struck us as worthy of special
note.
Among the landscapes, "The Old
Mill, by Mrs. w. w. Anderson, at
tracted perhaps the most attentson,
and was one of the most meritoriOus.
1t had probably received the greatest
amount of thorough and painstaking
work of any piece on exhibition. "The
Fisherman's Cottage" by Miss Cora
Briggs, is also worthy of special men,
ton and was "first favOrite" with
many. Mrs. StOver's deer at the
Lake" and Mrs. Ats "Albanyn had
many admirers. The latter is emphat.
ically what might be called q "pop-
ular" picture. For Ourself, we must
say that among the landscapes, i'm our
opinion the "Reminiscences of the Cat
skill,' by Mrs. w. G. Jones, contained
some of the very best features in the
whole collection. In point of tone,
delicacy of coloring, and. .trueness of
perspective, it certainly was not sur
passed, if equalled. With slight
re-touchiDg of the torrent of water, it
would probably rank first among the
This piece. along with
the exquisite plaque "Pansies," GER
tainly indicate that Mrs. Jones has the
true artistic instinct.
But undoubtedly the best work, as
would naturally be the case with anna
tours, was displayed in the smaller
pieces, and particularly the flower
pieces. Among these, Mrs. StOver's
Moss Rose Mirror attracted, and prob
ably deserved, the most general add
although the Water-Lily
mirror of Mrs. Anderson, and the Wild
Rose mirror of Mrs. Davies were scarce
ly inferior. Miss Boyd's wisconsin
Lilies" was extremely delicate and
beautiful, and her winter scenes were
also good. a wonderful amount of
life and movement was crowded into.
the small painting ("butter-bowl"0
''The Stormy Sea-" by Mrs. Davies.
The table scarf "Geraniums," by Miss
Rose Young, wos very fine.
In this nasty review, we have omit
ted mention of many meritorious pieces
and we have also doubtless failed to
notice blemishes that a critic would
discover. But certainly the display
was remarkably excellent, considering
the short time given to the work by
the pupils, and reflects great credit
both upon Miss Hood and the ladies
her class. AS we looked
ut this display, we could not help but
be impressed with the great desirabili-
ty of this accomplishment. Nothing
is so effective and satisfactory in the
adornnent and identifying of home.
And it seems within easy reach of al
most all. We certainly hope that Miss
Hood will receive additional pupils
sufficient to justify her in remaining
with US. We need her, and we hope
the little renaissance Of this kind of
work that she has inaugurated, will
continue.

SOME FINE STOCK.

We stopped at S. N. Delap's tie
other day to look Mt some swine thai
he had purchased at the st. Louis fail
and that We had heard a coed deal
about. What we don't know about
hogs would make fair sized book. bu!
we are free to say that none We have
ever seen began to equal these of Mr..
Delap. They are of the "Small White
Yorkshire" breed-thOugh why they
should call them ''small' we do not
know, as one of them tips the beam at
6i6 pounds-and every one of the nine
took first premium at the st. Louis
fair. One of them, Lord Tilton. No.
1O4. took five first premiums at five
different state fairs in 1885, and six
first premiums at six different state
fairs this year, besides the first premi-
um at Kansas City and st. Louis, and
has never taken second. He is per.
feet hog.
Another, "Judy," (sow No. 299) has
taken six first premiums at as many
different State Fairs this year.
Queen Bess, 9th, (No. 269) has taken
her share of premiums and ia noted as
the most prolific breeder of her age.
King II, nnder six months old, is an
extra fine animal and took first premi-
I'm at Kansas City and st. Louis.
The remainder of the herd are young
animals that have all taken first pre-
miums. They were bought of the
breeder, w. c. Norton, Aldenville, Pa,
and all are registered, and have pedi-
grees as long as your arm. No one
who looks at them, however, needs be
told that they are thorough breds, for
they show for themselves. Mr.. Delap
is building pens for them on his farm
south of town which it is his intention
to convert into one of the finest hog
ranches Of the county. Those who adj
mire fine stock and especially those
who wish to improve the grade of their
stock, should not fail to visit it.

character of every one Of our candidates
is above reproach.
At their meeting last Tuesday the
Third Party nominated the following
candidates for county offices For rep
resentative, d. Ewart; for Probate
Judge, A. Barnhart; for superintend-
ent, w. r. Robinson; for commits
sioner, - Mcclure. They also nomi-
mated a township ticket. No nOmina-
ttons were made for county attorney
or for district clerk. We want to ask
the men who expect to support this
ticket, what they hope to gain by it :?
You admit that you don't expect to
elect any of your candidates. You
also admit that most of your votes will
be taken from the republican candi-
dates. The only possible result then
must be to elect the democratic candi-
dates. That is, you will defeat Mr..
Lacy, who has always been prohibit
ZIONIST and who would vote in the in
terests of temperance, if sent to the
legislature, and elect Mr.. Moore, who
has always been an anti-prohibitiOnist
and would vote the way he thinks.
Or you will defeat Mr.. Ross, who is an
earliest duu LcdiouS pfOulultiOulSt,
and trust the enforcement of the law
to q Board with bitterly anti-prohi-
bition majority. Is this the way to
advance the cause you claim to have
at heart? We haven't space to argue
the matter, but we make the above
suggestions in all candOr aud believe
they are worthy of consideration.

BORN ON THE TRAIN.

A seventeen-year old wife travelling
from Youngstown, Pa, to Dakota in
charge of a portly colored nurse, was
one of the occupants of the sleeping car
Vancouver, which was attached to the
Albert LEAFS regular St. Paul train,
leaving Chicago Monday morning. The
train reached HartlaDd, station t!ir-
teen miles north 'cf Albert Lea, about
ten minutes before midnight. A few
minutes later the cry of q child was
heard, and investigation developed the
fact that the young wife had given
birth to a twelve pound boy. The next
morning the other occupants of the car
made up a purse and presented it to
the mother with the request that il
should be placed in a bank and remain
untouched until the child had grown
to manhood. They further requested
that he be named "Albert Lea. '-Pio-

lie.
This matter of a mill at Worthing-
ton has been up for consideration re-
Gently by some of our business men,
and we feel like saying now in public
what we have said III private, viz: that
Worthington could not do better
winters work. (if it took her all win
ter) than to secure a good custom mill
at this point. The Okabena Mill was
built as a commercial mill and, with
the exception few years, has been vir-
tuaI'y idle, and thus an injury to the
town. But if it can be put into the
hands of some practical miller, who
will keep it going as a custom mill, it
will be great help to the town and to
the surrounding country. Ifnot, our
business men should combine and Sc
cure a good custom mill as soon as pos
sible. The need Of it may be seen in
the fact that farmers from Jackson
county are passing through Worthing-
ton going to Adrian to Bedford's mill.
POWER FOR GOOD
ON DECK
70 begin with Mr.. Miller is one of
the brightest editors in Minnesota, and
runs his paper himself, allowing no
smart alecks to dictate line. In
most towns there are class who think
they know more about how 4 news

y Almighty does Of running the Uni
verse. Such fellows get rather cool
comfort around the Advance Office.
n newspaper that purSnpS an indeben-
dent, honorable course is sure to sue
ceed. The Advance is i success.-IIer-
on Lake News
The ADVANCE always says what it
mems and without hesitation. Some
times we think Bro. Miller a little too
severe. but lie is very seldom on the
wrong side. His pen has been q power
for good and has done more for the
development Of Mobiles county and the
Southwestern portion Of the state than
most people are willing to allow.
Many Of his statements. made years
ago. that ut the time were considered
wild and visionary. have proven true,
and the country that he has shown ur
in such glowing terms. when many
considered it worthless and when lie
was denounced for his enthusiasm as
being untruthful and unreliable, has
com" to the front. exceeding in prod
nctivencss. healthfulness and prosp-
Gritty beyond his fondest hopes and
brightest pictures. The ADVANCE
will not take back seat when the
front row is vacant. and Miller is al
ways on deck.-Fulda Republican.
