Jas. Griffith was very painfully in
jured on Sunday last. While Engaged
in hitching up his brothers ponies,
they started, he boarded the dray and
tried to stop them, in doing so, was
thrown off, the wheels running over
his legs. Jim is a pretty good fellow,
but the ponies can do him up.
Some of the farmers in Ottertail
and Polk counties, have sowed frosted
wheat, some of it shrunk and shire
yelled, and the result is, as good a
crop Of good wheat as any produced
by the best seed wheat. This ex.
plodes the idea that the seed must be
the best, to get good proceeds.
According to the St. Paul papers,
the state fair is a grand success.
Them City papers have the faculty of
blowing up any thing connected with
St. Paul or Minneapolis. above any
thing else in the world. Just wait till
you see the Stevens Co. fair here,
you will see something's worth look

There is talk of another lumber
yard coming into town. 1t would
look from present movements, as if
Morris was about to have a boom. 1t
is the general opinion that a town
with steady growth is preferable to
Spasmotic boomes, and yet guess we
would all hail a good boom with
hearty welcome.

To judge from the amount of lum-
Der leaving town these days one is
compelled to conclude that there will
be much better shelter for stock this
winter, than formerly. Every board
put up for the protection of stock in a
Minnesota winter, saves money in fod.
der and benefit TO the stock. Some
farmers bring their stock out in the
spring fit for beef, while others let

skin and bones.
We have been reprimanded by some
few farmers for reporting the fine
crop of wheat in Stevens County, lest
it might depress the price abroad
The farmers can remedy that evil by

We are asked: "Would you advis
me to hold on to my wheat for
higher price!" We must decline I
advice. IF you can hold it at HON
and are not compelled to borro'
money on it, you ale in condition t
speculate, which is what holding
