Col. Hugh Munro died in st. Paul
on Monday morning and will be
buried there this afternoon. He has
been i'll for some time, but as he has
apparently been gaining in strength
lately, his death was wholly unexpec-
ted. Col. Munro has been we'll known
in this place for long time aud has a
host of friends who will grieve to
learn ofhIs death. Three of his sons,
William, George, and Hugh and his
daughter, and a large number of
mourning friends are in st. Paul and
will remain till the funeral is over.
The sympathy of all friends of the
family is with them in this hour of
bereavement.
The Leavenworth Timespays the
Stewart Opera Company the following
merited compliment: Those who
failed to hear the really excellent con-
cert given by the Stewart grand con-
cert company, missed one of the finest
musical treats of the season. The
audience was quite large and COM
posed of the best people in the city, |
and among them good critics, who
pronounced the singing, the choruses
in particular, grand. Especially
the opening selection. Morning is
Breaking" from 1.-THE Daughter of
the Regiment" and the selection from
Martha. The bass solo rendered by
Mr.. w. H. Thompson was perhaps
the finest effort of the kind ever heard
in Leavenworth. His voice is 4 rare
combination of depth, melody and
culture.
Last Monday morning the store
formerly owned and conducted by n.
r. Spur was opened by new firm
Hancock & Stebbins. This new firm
has purchased Mr.. Spurr's stock and
business and after making necessary
improvements in the building, will
greatly enlarge the stock and increase
the business as much as possible.
Both Messrs. Hancock and Stebbins
are young men who are we'll known
and have q largo circle of friends.
They have ample capital for the bus
mess undertaken, and are sure to
meet with success. They will always
keep in stock full line of fancy and
staple groceries, fresh and canned
fruits, provisions, flour and feed etc.
etc. They hope to merit and ask for
liberal share of public patronage.
Goods will be delivered free of charge
to all parts of the city.
Backset and we'll pulverize your
breaking this fall. Have lived in
North Dakota four years and have
often heard discussions regarding the
value of backsetting breaking, When |
was beginner here began to ex-
pertinent and am now satisfied that |
the difference in yield will average
about eight bushels All acre more on
backsetting than where this is omit
ted. This year the difference is still
greater. Land that is well cultivated |
gives q yield of from twenty to twenty
five bushels, while crops poorly put |
in total ia lure. This Is an impof- |
tant thing for man to consider who |
has spent his last dollar to get little |
crop in and has nothing else to de-
pend upon for living. Ifyou cannot
backset this fall do what you can in
the spring and let the rest of the land
lay idle. N. B.
In view of the large number of let
tiers previously received and the
positive statements contained in
them. the attendance at the conven-
ton of real estate dealers in Morris
last Tuesday was small and disap-
pointing. However an organization
was effected, constitution and bylaws
adopted and steps taken for active
work in the future. The object of the
organization is united work in adj
vancing the real estate interests of
the state. The name by which the
organization will be known is the
minnesota Real Estate Dealers As
ISOLATION" The next meeting will be
held in st. Paul on Jan. 18th 1887,

bership fee was fixed at $3.50. The

Mccarthy, President; e. w. Randall,
Secretary and III. S.Judson, Treasurer
One Vice President has been appoin-
ted for each county.
