SPRING HILL.
The rOadS are -, a had condition

The roads are in bad condition.
M. Luckentich ofLake Henry, has de-
cided to quit business in that town, and
Hon. Martin Heisler has come to the
conclusion that there is more money to
be made as merchant and has pur-
chased Mr.. Luckentich's business. Mr..
Heisler has for years been an enterprising
and successful farmer in this neighbor-
hood, and his many friends wish him
success in his new enterprise,
J. Borrierman of Metres Grove, will, as
soon as the weather permits, erect a
large store at that place. These gentle
men feel assured that this part of the
country will eventually prove their wis.
dom in investing their money in mercan.
tile business here. An energetic and per.
severing effort will be made when the
proper time arrives, to secure branch
line of the Minneapolis and Pacific rail
road, from Paynesville, via Lake Henry
Spring Hill and Metres Grove, to Sank
Centre. Judging from the favorable
opinions expressed by merchants and
farmers in this neighborhood, no trouble
will be experienced in securing right OF
way for the proposed route-on the con-
trary, every possible inducement will be
offered the proper authorities to locate
the road. The farmers and merchants OF
the towns named cannot afford to allow
this rare opportunity to pass without a
united effort to secure the railroad. The
subject has been under consideration long
enough. Unless people here make de-
cided move towards securing the road it
will not be built. Itwould be a reflection
on the business capabilities of our people
to say that they will not exert themselves
to secure what this blooming and pro-
gressive country demands. 1t is fact
which cannot be disputed that fifteen per
cent, even twenty-five per cent, of the
farmers income is used in hauling his
products to markets situated ten or fif
teen miles from here. A little figuring
will convince every farmer that the
stated figures are notexaggerated. What
prevents our merchants from erecting
elevators and buying wheat? They have
no facilities for transportation They
would willingly give a fair price for farm
products, had they the means of tram
sporting the same. When the proper
time arrives let every one do his best to
secure that which will prove boom to
us ALI. e., the railroad.
The young mems society will give an
entertainment on Monday, April 2nd,
the proceeds to defray the expense of a
banner, ETC., for the society.
There will be an auction at los.
Schwagerps place on Tuesday next.
Martin Heisler will dispose of his prop
erty by public auction on Tuesday next,
prior to his engaging in business in Lake
Henry.
John Frohler of New Munich, has de-
cided to engage in the saloon business at
Lake Henry, and has rented Mich. Kra-
mer's hotel for that purpose.
A blooming and prosperous village is
Lintonville, on the Minneapolis and
Pacific r. r. It shows what railroad
can do for a place; where, prior to the
building of the railroad, nothing but a
few houses existed, is now scene, of
prosperity and push. A large elevator,
commodious hotel, two stores, a black
smith and wagon shop, are the results
of last years building. In the spring, P.
Hufs, formerly of this town, in company
with E. King, will erect large meat
establishment A. Vanworst will also
erect large hotel as soon os the wealth
er is favorable. J. Cennors has SPLEEN
did building for hotel purpose, and the
town presents the appearance of business
and ego" which argues well for the flu
ture of that place, which is all respect
fully submitted to the notice of folks here.
