Fred Stinson owned a watch. Ores
ser, secretary of the Pope and Stevens
county Breeders' Association, owned
horse. Fred didn't need the watch
but he did want a horse badly. Dresser
didn't need the horse, but he couldn't
get along without watch; therefore
they traded, even up, Dresser agree
ing to ship the horse to Morris. He
did SO, and the horse arrived on time.
DR.. Vaughan was called to examine
the horse and reported it all right,
except . little stiff i'm the fore legs,
which he said was owing to the trip
on the cars, but 1t was afterwards
learned that the horse had been owned
atone time by carpenter who had
misused the horse. Any one wishing
to purchase family horse that 10

Fred Stinson, Morris.
Hancock & Stebbins just received q
large supply Of fancy crocksry and
hanging lamps.
Observer Cheney, of the signal SER
vice, at st. Paul, confirms the general
impression that November this year
was an unusually warm and pleasant
month. 1t was not, however, entirely
unprecedented, for there has been in
the last "a years five warmer Novem-
bsrs, and one with smaller rainfall.
This November WAS the warmest since
1878, and with that exception, the
warmest since 1870. It's mean tenn
perature was more than four degrees
higher than the average Of November
for "A years. Compared with Novem-
Der of last year. the first half of this
November was colder. and the first
snow in measurable quantity fell three
days earlier. In its general features
the month resembled November, 1885,
except that it was much drier. The
only snowfall during the month was
IL inches OIL the 10Th and 10Th, and
this did not remain long on the
ground. There were n large number
of clear days. The month was very
favorable for building operations.
One exceptional feature was the
thunder shower OF the LIST.
We are indebted to Charley Winter
mute for a pleasant ride on Friday
last. We drove out past the fine
farms of LII Stanton, Walker, Judd,
Hall, the Delahunt brothers and
others to the farm of Mr.. Wintermute.
Nowhere can be seen neater farm resi-
dences or pleasanter locations than the
farmers have out in that section. We
were particularly pleased with the
site and the tidy appearance of the
buildings belonging to the Delahunt
boys and the general appearance Of
their splendid farm. A finer or
pleasanter location for house than
they have by the beautiful little lake
could not be desired. Surely they
ought to DO contented farmers, and
we presume they are. Mr.. Winter
mute has splendid place for his
buildings In the timber, completely
sheltered from the north and north
west winds. Indeed he has model
farm, and q man that couldn't be
contented to live there wouldn't be
contentsd anywhere on q farm. We
returned to town by the river road.
and If we didn't have q pleasant
drive, then we don't know what q
pleasant drive IL. Those long-tailed
Morgan colts of Charley's are dandies,
sure.
Call ut Hancock & Stebbins and look
at their nice hanging lamps. They
have them from fifteen dollars down.
