j. F. Barnum has added 40 acres o.
hay land to his New Avon farm.
R. S. Whipple has purchased an adj
ditional 80 acres of land adjoining his
place in Paxton, from NJ. G. Burnside,
for ST 900.
G. A. Francois & Co., Everett & Co.
and H. Nj. Hitchcock & Go. have some
thing to say in this number of the
Gazette of interest at this time of the
year.
Among the incorporators of the
Farmers Warehouse and Elevator
Company of Springfield appear the
names of D. j. Sheffield and N. W..
fCobleigh, of Redwood county.
The call for the Republican county
convention in the Gazette has errone-
ously been printed with the court COM
missioner on the list of officials. AS
Commissioner Houghmaster was elect
cd for four years, he is not under the
necessity of hustling for votes this
year. Our mistake should have been
corrected before.
Midway News: In politics there is
always scheming and scheming. A
man should know what he is voting
on, who he is voting for and who he is
voting with, but in our day these
things are difficult to learn. The pol
itic;an watches the movements and
keeps his mouth shut. The sucker
goes around with his eyes shut and
his mouth wide open. Don't be a suck
er. Study both sides. Keep your own
counsel, and when the time comes,
vote as you please.
The Review significantly says of the
Republican caucus held at New Ulm
Monday evening, that the best thing
that can be said of it was that it was
largely attended. S. D. Peterson NOM
mated A. Blanchard chairman, and
subsequently moved that the chair ap-
point committee of three to name
the delegates to be selected by the
caucus! The thing worked. With
such Republican caucuses, it is no
wonder that Brown county has been
made Democratic stronghold.
The returns for this census district
have been made public, and show a
large increase in most counties, Red
wood standing sixth in the list. Of
those at the head, Winona and Blue
Earth have the advantage of the
growth of large commercial centers,
Winona city having increased exactly
5000 in ten years and Mankato 1886,
giving them respectively 1928 and
S,SO5 population. New Ulm is given
3,741 population and St. Peter 3,671.
The counties of Dodge, Houston and
Olmsted show decreases aggregating
over 5000 Redwood county is enum-
Grated at 1886, Lyon at $3.50, Murray
$3.50, Cottonwood 1858, and Yellow
Medicine 1856. Redwood county has
increased more than any of these
neighboring counties during the de-
cade, or 4O11-about IS per cent. The
total population of Minnesota is given
at l,45O,99O, a gain in ten years Of
G7O,207.
Although only a few days remain
before the caucuses for all four of the
coming county conventions are to be
held, there appears to be very little ex
element perceptible. Party feeling
, as such was never so near the zero
point, and the merits of the respective
: candidates are generally discussed
5 with little Or no bitterness. This is a:
} it should be. 1t ought to be no Grim,
a to run for Office, and no disgrace to b.
r honorably defeated. Indeed the pub
: lie service will perhaps profit by hav
ing lively competition between goot
!, men. At the caucuses it should b.
|, borne in mind that there is to be fin
:. al appeal to Cesar" at the ballot box
Q es six weeks or more hence, and tina
: nominations at the conventions will b.
discussed and scrutinized by men O
a all parties. Heretofore the Republic
a an conventions have had the advant
age of the fullest representation iron
2 all the towns, as compared with tn
J. opposition, and that has contributes
n not little to good nominations ant
e consequent easy election campaigns
h We hope that this will be the cas-
g next week, and with full representa-
g ton and fair nominations the result
b sure to be the usual victory for the Re
0 publican nominees. Otherwise it
possible that some of the nominee
t will meet with Republican veto i
