In the debate last Saturday night, at
Winona, on the question, Resolved,
That there Is more pleasure in pursuit
than in possession" the "possessionists"

We would advise the Times boys 10
quit playing editor" before the wlntry
weather comes on, and thus avoid hunger

Emmons County complain of his treat

fLewis, of Logan township, died on
Thursday of last week and was buried

at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Bentley,

was buried on the Bentley farm. The
sympathy of the entire neighborhood is
extended to the bereaved parents.

a spring-pole, Charles will at once begin
operations by drilling we'll on his place.
