The GAINESVILLE Argus says that G. E..
Baker and family have moved to this
city, where Mr.. B. will 60 into the in
surance business.
There is general feeling of conf
dence among the merchants that we are
on the eve of time of great prosperity.
Those who usually strike it right say
that there will now be season OF good
times, good crops and good prices. The
farmer and laborer will come in for their
share of the general prosperity.
AT meeting of the official board OF
Centenary Methodist church, held last
evening, resolution was passed thank
ing their sister churches and the citizens
of this city for the generous, cordial and
hospitable manner in which they assist
ed in entertaining the Annual Confer
ence recently held in that church.
Benz. Burns and Miss Ada Camp
bell, both of Rochester, were married at
five o'clock yesterday afternoon at Rev.
Father Prior's residence. Mr.. Burns is
baggage master on the Northwestern

serve success and prosperity.
Mr.. Geo. G. Truesdell has conclud-
ed to 90 out of business and will sell out

day by officer Schuette on the charge OF
stealing watch from New Ulm butch

The GAINESVILLE Argus tells of a farm.
er who manufactured LIPS gallons o.
sorghum in IL days, an almost unpre'
cedented record; he also made 1877 gal

er farmer made 3,lO0 gallons, which
he sold largely to customers at Wasecs
at 35 cents per gallon.
The ReUieW deserts it's candidate fol
Superintendent of Schools and comes
out for Mrs. Stevens. The other Demo
cratic and independent papers of the
county have also taken that stand. AL
this must be interesting to the Demo
cratic candidate, while it cannot but
help Mrs. Stevens to some extent among
the Democratic voters. No reason hat
been advanced why Republican should
vote for anyone except Mr.. Patterson
and the desperate means taken by biz
opponents to belittle and misrepresent
him show the extremity to which they
are driven, as we'll as prove the nature o.
the opposition to him. 1t is being at
tempted to show that Mr.. Patterson
does nat stand well in his church. This
is far from truth. He has recently haG
calls from such churches as the First
Baptist, of Quincy, ILL.,, that of Winfield
Kan, and others equally prominent
and larger than any in this city. His
work has been in Kansas, Nebraska
Wisconsin, Iowa and Colorado, and sc
far as pecuniary returns are concerned
he could do far better than the Office Of
| Superintendent of Schools affords. The
mud campaign that is being wageG
against him in certain quarters, will
have no influence with intelligent PEG
Pile, and reflects no credit on his op
ponents.
