church. this city. About forty young
ladies, daughters of prominent Catho-
llc families, clad in snowy white, with
wells and wreaths, approached the Altar,
and were admitted into the Sodal1ty
attached to the church, by Rev. D.
O'Sulllvan, Pastor. An election of
officers followed Immediately after the
reception, but we were unable to hear but

This is delightful season of the
year. The trees are IN full leaf, the
lawns and shrubbery are rich and fresh
in natures lovely tints. Now if every
owner of yard, would do his part, how
inviting Austin would be. The grass,
and shrubs, and trees, should be well
cared for, in your back yard as we'll as
IN your front yard. and IN the street in
front of your residence. 1t is not money
so much that makes beautiful yard.
1t is more a good lawn-mower, and
willingness to do little extra work
nights and mornings.
SCHOOL NOTES.-The graduation ex-
crcises will occur on the evening of
June Oath. There will probably be quite
change in the corps of teachers next
| school year. Prof. Aiten has declined
to teach another year. Miss Josephine
Harrison, of 9TH grade, goes to Ovation
ma. 1t is understood Miss Trjggs will not
teach another year, and several others
will probably drop out. Mrs. Amanda
Clark has been reelected as teacher of
Sd ward school. Prof. Fitch, principal
of the Henderson (Minn.) schools for
past six years, has been engaged as Prin-
cipal to succeed Prof. Alton for the next
year. He comes highly recommended.
There is still another phase in
which the local newspaper has claims,
where Its thrift and enterprise are en-
dangered. The newspaper, as it
speaks for the community, being the
only medium through which the public is
reached, is entitled to preference over
establishments made to do but one branch
of the business. The local newspaper
cannot prosper, as it should, without
the patronage which logitimately belongs
to it. A division of benefits, on the plea
that it is desirable to aid all enterprises
of whatever character, is simply taking
from that which upholds and aids in
building up and maintaining business,
to give to party who has no interest in
its welfare, much less capacity for
aiding and abetting the business in
terests We speak of this on general
principles, not from local adaptation of
the principle, which, in all goodness, all
must be aware, that both newspapers in
McGregor have just reasons tor retalia-
ton, in some form or manner to be made
effectually apparent to our business men.

| MOVING THE RoADs1DEs.-H should
be part of the road work everywhere to
keep the weeds cut down, which spring
up along the sides of the highways; and
this work should never be neglected.
There is scarcely neighborhood in which
the highways do not mature enough
weeds to seed half the adjoining fields.
1t would be to the interest of the owners
of those fields to have the highways
mown; but they fail to do this because
the roads are public property, and they
feel that every item of their care should
be part of the public expense. Usually
nearly all of the work could be done with
a two horse mower, the scythe being nee
essary only where there are projecting
posts, sharp offsets in the fence, etc.
Thus done, the work would cost very lit
tie compared with the damage it would
avoid. If the road overseers do not feel
disposed to have this work done, fearing
that 1t is outside their duties, it should be
brought up before the annual town meet
ing and voted upon. If properly present
ed before the vote is taken, very few, if
any, will vote against it. 1t may be we'll
to suggest that not only those who have
fields by the highways will be benefited,
but every man who passes along the road.
