Dr.. Berry was called to Sleepy Eye
i Monday morning to coanse, in regard
to CONTAGIOUS disease.
!. An infant child Of August Windhorn,
who lives near the Catholic church,
died last Friday night.
A surprise party was given at the
home of L. Runk, of Milford, last Sum
day evening. About one hundred
people were present, many of them
from town.
Boat riding in Minnesota at the close
of December doesn't seem natural, but,
nevertheless, it was INDUCED in Oh the
Minnesota River at..New Ulm last Sun

Miss Bertha Beinhorn entertained
number of her young friends to a
''lemon squeeze social at her home
last Saturday evening. It was very
pleasant affair.
It was reported around town yester-
day that case Of smallpox, that dread
and contagious disease, had broken out
at Sleepy Eye. We hope that the ru.
NOR is not true, and, if it must be, that
the disease is present only in its mildest
form.
The new directory for Minnesota will
show New Ulm to be a town of 1850
people. Now this is too small. New
Ulm has more than that by at least
500. The last votesshows it, and it only
needs careful:look at the town to see
it. We have got 5000, if we have got
anything.
The dates for the coming Farmers
Institute have been changed from jan
uary IS, IA, and Is, to January
Is, II and 10. The reason for the
change is the fact that the annual
meeting of the State Agricultural Soci-
ETY. will be held on the three former days
and the Institute lecturers are COM

Minnesota has been divided into four
census districts. Brown County is in
Guided in the first, along with Blue

jackson, Lac qui Parle, Lincoln, Lyon,
Martin, Murray, Nicollet, MOBILES,
Olmstead, Pipestone, Redwood, Rock,

at the recent ''lemon squeeze" social.

the EDITORS table, it can be imagined
that he was doubly thankful and re-

are ever ready to be appreciative.
/, The Agricultural Society, at the an
nual meeting last Saturday afternoon
passed resolutions to the effect that they
favor Chicago as the place for holding
the next Worlds Fair and urgently re-
quest our delegate in Congress to use
his influence towards securing it's loca-
ton at that place. Now this is of all
Importance. The very fact that the
Brown County Fair Association so de-
sires it, should be enough to settle it for
Chicago.
In all of the churches and in one OF
the societies at least, preparations are
being made for Christmas. Trees will
be had in the Catholic. Methodist, Luth.
eran and Congregations! churches, and
the Turner'S Sunday school will also

4 Andrew Rinke, of Sleepy Eye, tells a
good story on one of the merchants of
