guests of their sou, G. l.. Brown, OF
this city.

The ladies of the Missionary Socie-
| ty of the Congregational church are
to be entertained at tea this evening
by Mrs. X. F. Norris.
Elsewhere will be found an extend
ed editorial from the Western Rural.
| We co Y it, not hecause we fully agree
with it in its radical position, but be-
cause it shows how general the tax of
monopoly and how vast the ultimate
aggregate taken by means of class Leg
islation from the people. The conclu-
sions given are also worthy of thought.

A. B. Richardson died at San An
tonic OH Tuesday of last week of con-
sumption. Mr.. Richardson spent the
summers of 1878 and 1879 with his
brother G.. E. Richardson in the town.
ship of Morris, has been principal of
the public schools of the neighboring
villages of Appleton and Ortonville
and has many friends in this as well
as other portions of the state. He
was young man of ability, education
and influence and had the brightest
prospects for the future. 1t seems un.
usually sad for such young men to die.
Last Monday evening NJ. Diedrich
was complaining and justly complain
ing of discrimination on the part of
the Northern Pacific road against
him. A car load of wood billed him
the Wednesday previous had not at
that time arrived while it is claimed
that numerous other loads billed more
recently to other parties were brought
over on that evenings freight. If the
freight train on that line is so heavily
burdened that it can not carry freight
as fast as offered, patrons ought to be
served in turn. No one ought to be
compelled to wait, that some one else
may have preference.
An exchange says that if readers
wish to have a complete record of To-
cal events and one of the interesting
books that can be had anywhere let
them take a blank book and each
week clip from their paper all items
of interest and paste them under the
date of the paper and at the end of the
year they will be surprised at the
amount of good history had in one
scrap book. Cut out all church notic-
es, weddings, births, deaths, person
ais and improvements and all such
Items that are interesting, and in a
few years you will have collection
such as you would not part with for
any other book that could be pro-
cured.
Said one of the prominent farmers
of the county yesterday: II don't
like your paper. 1t gives too much
concerning the big bugs in town and
not enough of the general news of the
county," There is some reason tor
the complaint, although the newspa-
per is rot wholly at fault. In writing
local news there is no intended dis
elimination between any of the vari-
Gus classes of readers. AS rule the
| editor has better facilities for know
ing what transpires i'll the village
than in the surrounding country and
again village people take more pains
to inform an editor in regard to local
happenings than do their rural
friends. If the people generally
throughout the county would take the
pains to make known whatever there
is of news in their respective locali
ties, county news would be as fully
given and country people would be as
numerously and as favorably men,
toned as any other.
/ A large audience assembled at Phot
nix Hall last Friday evening to wit
ness the presentation by local talent
of the pretty little three-act drama
Showed In." When we say that the
audience were pleased and surprised
at the very creditable manner OF pre-
sentatiOn we but echo the expression
of all who witnessed the performance
It was certainly very pleasant sur
prise, the promptness, ease and care
with which the several performer
carried out their parts and the free
dom from any awKwardness, evincet
careful preparation, and was mor'
like the work Of professionals thar
! amateurs. We do net think it-neces
sary to make any individual mention
or criticism of performance or per
j formers. In fact there was no call TO
aught but praise and the general ex
