Slayton has won in the murray
County seat contest, Judge Perkins
having decided in it's favor. The
only hope of Currie now lies in an
appeal to the Supreme court.
After March 10th, all passenger
trains from the east running into
Tracy will go through to Watertown.
Heretofore only two of them made
the through run, which caused some
Inconvenience at Marshall and other
points on that line.
Presiding Elder Hair, of Mankato,
will conduct quarterly meeting ser
vices at the NJ. E. Church next Sum
day morning, and on Saturday even
ing will give q short lecture on
Wesley and the early history of
Methodism.
The Granite Falls roller mills, of
$50 barrels daily capacity, have closed
down for the present. Last fall,
owing to a lack of water, the pro-
prietors put in an extensive steam
plant, which, owing to incorrect plan
ming, proved worse than useless.
If school teachers throughout Red
wood county will send in reports and
items concerning their respective
schools, the Gazette will gladly set
aside special department for their
benefit. A good school column is q
desirable feature in a country paper.
The amount of back taxes paid to
the county last Friday by the w. &
St. P. Land company was 81, 5l8.&.
AS previously stated, a large share of
this amount will be distributed among
the localities where the lands are stu
ated, in school districts and township
funds, but the division cannot be de-
clared until the June settlement is
made.
An adjournment of the arguments
of exceptions in the Rose case was
taken last Thursday, until March 18th
The stenographer barely finished the
immense volume of testimony-about
800 typewriter pages-a few fdays
before, and Judge Brown asked ad-
ditional time to review the same and
prepare his argument, which request
was granted.
We notice that G. V. Everett is
assisting Auditor Tibbetts in place
of VIM. S. Mckay, who is preparing
to take his place as our post master
next Saturday. w. NJ. Todd told
the writer not long ago that "Chuck''
Everett was the most efficient of his
many helpers in the State Insurance
Department, and We suggest that as
''Chuck" now occupies the ex-depu-
tvs stool, he had better "stay there
Patrick Shay, the father of Mrs. H.
c. Ackmann, died at Brainerd last
Thursday, and was buried from the
Catholic Church the following Sun
day. The deceased was over 80 years
of age, and as he has been in feeble
health for several months past, his
death was simply the inevitable close
of long career. Mrs. Ackmann Wis
tied her father few months before
his death, and in company with her
husband went to Brainerd last Fri
day, to be present at the funeral, re-
turning here yesterday.
The Aberdeen Angus bull Goodfel-
low 2149, which was exhibited by
Messrs. Tyson and Dickinson at the
County Fair last fall, has been sold to
Aleck Ellingson and Bro. of Hanley
Falls. The farmers of that vicinity
are to be congratulated on the Access
sion of that fine animal % their stock
of cattle. All around us the farmers
are beginning to awaken othe fact that
quality and not numbers must be the
rule and that the scrub" must go.
Goodfellow is fine animal and good
stock getter. 1t will be hard to find q
better individual of any breed.
w. S. Mckay received his COM
mission as postmaster of Redwood
Falls the past week, and by mutual
arrangement with Postmaster Thomp-
son, will take charge of the Office on
Saturday next, March LIST, at the be-
ginning of the second quarter of
the year. Mr.. Mckay purchased
most of the Office fixtures and will
remain at the same location for the
present. Edward March will help
him in the Office, and by virtue of
his wide acquaintance as an old resi-
dent, will be able to be of much as
sistance to the new administration.
Postmaster Thompson will have q
chance to play next week, but it is
safe to say that he will soon be rust
ling at other business.
