A number of Hurleyites attended
camp meeting at Parker last Sunday,

Preparations are being made for a
grand time at the dance tomorrow
evening, and all who enjoy tripping the
eight fantastic" should make it a
point to be present.

the remark of Hurley's many visitors.
Yes, we have fine townsite, and it is
backed by some of the best farming

/ From the hurried examination we have
been able to give tbs volume, some
good ideas are to be found, but we
have no idea that the time will ever
arrive when the general government is
to assume control of the entire business
of the county.
We are requested to give notice that
citizens of Parker would be pleased to
meet the people of Turner county at
Parker Thursday, August 10Th, for q
grand harvest jubilee. The Herald
would suggest that nothing could add
more to the jubilee feature than would
the putting up of that $4,000 promised
by Parker to the voters and tax payers
of Turner county.
The fifteen year old son of Lars
Christison, living near The Advent
church, south ofSwan Lake, was bitten
by vicious horse few days ago. The
upper lip was torn in two, the wound
extending up past the left Alae Nasl
into the cheek. DR.. Sill closed the
wound with few stitches, but the
young man will always have scar tc
remember that horse by.
The Herald acknowledges the receipt
from r. g. Judson, secretary, of a se;t-
son ticket to the fair of the Minnesota
State Agricultural Society, to be held
on their grounds near st. Paul, Aug
30, 81, and Sept. l, 2, 8, 4. Minnesota
has gained an enviable reputation fol
it's annual 1airs, and parties desiring tt
take trip for pleasure and profit vii
doubtless find both at the time ant
place above named.
eff your local paper writes an ole
journalist, now long out of business
"happens to tread on your toes little
in performing its mission, don't get
your back up and abuse the editor, but
stop and take good breath and think
for a season, and see if you cant
remember some of the faVors ant
kindness he has shone you in the past
then reflect that it may not be long
before you may want some favor
again"
4 AS will lbe seen by the commissioners
4 proceedings printed elsewhere, a license
has been issued to Jos. Smith to run 9
saloon in Hurley from August 10Th te
October 4th. If Hurley must have
saloon we know of no one who would
fill the requirements of the law better
than Joe. But is it necessary to have
a saloon in Hurley? Do our business
interests demand one? Our moral in
terests certainly do not, and it is hoped
that the town board will refuse to
grant a license.
