According to announcement made a
few days ago, J. Nj. Huntington took
possession of the Buechner corner
store soon after the latter left, and op-
ened up for business this week. Gent
al John Anderson will be his second

A recent decision of the courts main

intendent of schools, and consequent

New Ulm Review: The Rock County
News, published at the home of Cliff
ton Holden's brother, says that during
his confinement in the Brown county
Jail, Holden had no exercise and very
improper care. The News should
know better than to give credence to
such stories, for the prisoner had the
very best of care allowed by the law.
The trouble was with Holden himself
in being too stubborn to accept of de-
cent treatment.
How small the rivalries and petty
personalities of political campaign
appear, in the shadow of death. The
lesson of it all is that we need to be
just to our political opponents, and
remember that the characters thew
have made for themselves in private
life should be as sacred from the
tongue of SANDER while living, as af-
ter they have passed away. How much
better to give men credit for their SER
vices and worthy actions while living
in the grave they do not need it.
Hutchinson Leader: The car of
Irvine, $4,000 pounds in all, ordered
through the Great West agency by
Acoma, Lynn and Cedar Mills farm
ers arrived last Saturday. It was
billed and tagged as pure MANILA, and
cost, freight from Omaha, Nebraska
included, Isl cents per pound. 1t
proved to be of an inferior grade and
lacks good deal of being pure ma
nilla. Hutchinson dealers claim that
they have been selling as good or bet
ter Irvine right along for less money
Our Three Lakes correspondence is
very welcome, and we should be glad
to have the progress and improvements
of all the other towns in the county
touched up in the same manner. The
GAZETTE realizes that the improvements
going on all over the country justify
all that it can do in the way of elbow
ing" It is an encouraging fact that
the country in this vicinity, generally
speaking, is improving and that its
rea, estate values are increasing con-
siderable faster than in our countr;
towns. This is as it should be.
So much interest has been shown in
the Sleepy Eye-Redwood game of last
Wednesday, that we copy the follow
ing score by innings and summary
from the Dispatch. The Sleepy Eye
papers compliment the Redwood club,
and say that they excelled in their
fielding, but were a little light at the
bat. The record shows that the other
fellows were moro enterprisinr in
stealing bases also. Score by innings:
