From the Luverne Herald:
The Worthington Advance man pub
lished the following from the Ashton,
III. Argus, in the last issue Of his pa
per: The editorials in the Worthing-
ton (Minn.) Advance are equal to those
in the best metropolitan papers. Mr..
A. p. Miller, the editor, is i profound
thinker, a thorough scholar. virile
and versatile writer, and poet whose
poems rank with the best productions
of the a merican muse" The funny
thing about this is that Bro. Miller
actually believes that it's all true.
The Luverne Herald man published
the following in his issue of April 80,
from the Beaver Creek Bee:
1--WE believe we are strictly within
the bounds of truth when we say that
the Luverne Herald is at the head of
the procession in Minnesota journal
ism. Always clean and neatly printed
with it's local and general news col
nmns filled to repletion. we can think
of no better paper that finds it's way to
our office 1t is deserving of unlimit-
ed success"
The funny thing about this is that
BRO. Miller. of the Luverne Herald,
actually believes that it's all true.
Funnier still, the Beaver Creek Bee
is largely made up Of matter from the
Herald and appears to be Il branch Of
the Herald office. It looks very much
as though Bro. Miller had sent puff
to his branch paper and then copied 1t
with flourish Of trumpets, into his
main paper.
See!
A representative Of the Rock Rapids
Review visited Beaver Creek and says:
A hunt high and low failed to show
up any place with the Bee sign swing.

The Graphic adds to this:
Bro. Parsons was doubtless looking
after paper that purports to hail
from Beaver Greek, but which is only
a reprint of the Rock County Herald,
made in the Herald Office at Luverne,
dated Beaver Greek, sent down to this
| place, and for the most part distribu-
ted free in order to kill the Graphic.
Our cranky neighbor, Bro. Miller, of
the Herald, has long been considered a
misanthrope who hated his neighbors,
especially those of Mobiles county,
whom he has persistently misrepre-
sented, but we did not know before
that he was up to such tricks to get a
puff for the Herald.
The St. James Journal pokes fun at
the Minnesota Home as follows:
Some one kindly sends US OCCASION
ally copy of the Minnesota Home.
| Yes, ye st. James and Madelia sub
scribers to that Blue Grass Region ad-
vertising scheme, it is the real old 81
mon pure Minnesota Home and no
corpse, relic or other thing.) We al.
ways read the Home. Its columns are
80 refreshing, containing the same
news" matter as on its first appear
ance several years ago. 1t pleases US
to read that 1.-THE year 1884 has been q
bountiful one for the farmers of No
bles county," that Murray county had
a population of s, ,625 in 1880; that un
cultivated lands in Watonwan county
can be purchased as low as S. per acre
that the number of farms in the coun.
ties of the Blue Grass Region, also the
number of acres under cultivation j:
the same now as in 1882. All this i:
pleasing, and demonstrates that as al
immigration pamphlet the Minnesot;
Home stands n l, besides it show:
what strides the Blne Grass Region il
making. We trust Messrs. Thompson
and Day enjoy the same prosperity
and hope the Home stock owned il
Watonwan county is faring no worse
and has not had all value squeezed ou
of it by being loaded down with divi
dends.
The Home, as the ADVANCE ha
said, can be made valuable means 0
advertising the Blue Grass Region
but no advertising medium can do
tithe of the service of a good weekl
home newspaper. Wherever the pee
pie rally around the home newspape
and give it a good support, you see
, live, thriving town. Wherever the
, do not they have 4 pokey town, becaus
they are pokey people.
A good rule is to take the right med
