this place on the 25th, resulted in a
victory for the Morgan boys, 18 to q.
Owing to the high wind and the little
practice most of the boys had this
season, there was considerable loose
playing done. Con.
HARVESTER ONCE MORE
The chief social topic now is the
elopement of Miss Allie Howe and
Henry M. Thurber. This is the first
elopement in this town, and as Mr..
Howe is the first settler by many years,
and Miss Allie the first child born here
it looks like an initiative arrangement.
If that is the case I am not sorry sold
out, as I have large number of girls
born here and if they should take q
notion to follow the fashion set, I'll
never dare go to bed. No, by CAD, I'll
60 where the long ranged rifle will
make the boys first say to ye old man
IF you please, with your permission"
etc.
Joe McGeough and Henry Cain have
broken the record, each having been
presented with boy recently. This
makes some relief to the long line of
girls lately born. Another baby at
John O'Connel's, but whether pros
pective voting citizen or only dish
washer l cannot learn.
Quite a number of new settlers here
this spring, and houses are being put
up everywhere. Breaking is also 90
ing on at lively rate. Frank White
expects to start two breaking teams
one OK and one horse team. Arthur
Slower and Hi HARDWOOD are also break
ing on their respective lands. w. w.
Howe has also one going on his place,
Mr.. Patrick Bolger is busy putting
up house. l also see one going up
at Carl Rollers place.
Old Mr.. Nancy, at last accounts, was
sick with Inflammation of the lungs.
Mrs. Martin Murray was yesterday
taken on a bed to Minneapolis for
medical treatment. We all hope for
her speedy recovery.
The start of the Hay-Twisters for
the south is delayed on account of the
whooping cough. The whole family
being afflicted with a severe cough. A.
z. Porter, John Casserly, VIM. Com
stock and Joe McGeough's families
are similarly afflicted.
Road viewing has been in order
lately. We observed Supervisors
White, McGeough and Noah out in
that capacity.
We recently made a flying visit to
Sibley county; en- route we observed
Matt Parsons putting up a new addi-
ton to his house in New Avon.
1t is now solid field from Hender-
son to Franklin, about all tillable land
being in cultivation. We were also
surprised to find Farmer Jonas John
son il the capacity of landlord of the
Franklin house; we also run across
Jake and Jim Palmer in similar occu-
patton in Fairfax and Gibbon.
It seems curious to look over Rem
vile county and see it all farmed while
only across the river in Redwood is a
wide expanse of uncultivated prairie.
Redwood's turn will come soon, don't
you forget it. The farmers around
Gaylord seem to be prospecting. Many
of our old acquaintance I found liv-
ing in elegant new houses. They we're
all of the opinion that l had sold too
soon and cheaply.
VIM. Croft and wife have returned
from Oregon, poor health is the prin-
ciple reason for coming back. Mrs.
Croft is at present suffering with fever
and ague.
Our town clerk is j. G. johnson, the
old incumbent, Mr.. Kartaks refusing
to qualify. I make this statement be-
cause see mail directed to Mr.. Kar-
talks as town clerk.
The Hay-Twister caravan expects to
start May 2Sth, if nothing happens.
It does not seem hard to pick up
items now. As this, probably my last,
itemizing will testify and Hay-Twist-
er's successors will not have the excuse
of ye undersigned for lapse of silence,
on the ground of nothing going on.
HAY-TwIsTER.
Warning to Trespassers.
