| and all of its additions up to date. There
is one correction which the council should
, hasten to make-there are two Centre
! streets on the plat, one in the Robbins &
| Mendenhall, and one in the Rosenberger
addition. Mr.. Chute has prepared two
maps of different sizes, but otherwise
identical in every detail.
! Messrs. Rice and Hilderbrand have Civ,
Ell up their contract for the steamboat
and Mr.. McNiece has taken, the boat uE
the lake. 1t seems too bad that some
| party cannot be found who will take il
| and accommodate the numerous picnic
| parties that would like to avail them
selves oft.
In this vicinity crops are all looking
we'll. Wheat is excellent although some
fields are not evenly developed. Some Of
the kernels terminated early and others
did not commence to grow until much
latter, and the differe nee is very observ-
able. 1t will be difficult matter to de-
eide just when to cut it to the best ad-
vantage. Oats good, meyer better at
this season and potatoes looking well.
A Sunday school institute, will be held
at the Baptist church, i'll this city COM
mencing next Thursday, July 81 at 2:30
p. m. Thursday evening there will be an
address by Rev. G. H. Gamble, folio we'd
by steriopticon exhibition for the bene-
fit of the Baptist Sunday school. The
closing sermon will be held Friday fore
noon. Rev. Rear of Long Prairie, Rev.
G. H. Gamble and other workers will be
in attendance. The pastors of the differ
ent churches and all interested in Sunday
school work are earnestly invited to be
present and assist in the work.
There seems to be an impression among
our citizens generally, that no claim will
be made by the city for the forfeit of ten
dollars day since July list, provided in
the bridge contract. The HERALD does
not share in this belief that the council
will not enforce the terms of the contract.
The company had ample time since the
contract was let, in February last, to
complete the bridge within the contract,
or else the contract would not have been
entered into. The delay was in getting
upon the ground with the material, and
for this delay the city was in no way re-
sponsible.
Alexander Moore has fine stock farm
in the town of Raymond containing sew
eral hundred acres, which he has stoke
with blooded animals-short-horn cat
tie and portland China and Berkshire
pigs, paying almost fabulous prices for
the latter. He will try an experiment
this year which will be watched with IT.
terest by every farmer in the vicinity.
He has built silo % X SO feet, Is feet
deep, which lie will fill with sweet corn,
cut up stalks, ears and all while the corn
is in the milk. He has cutter for the
purpose, and expects to store away the
better part of forty acres. 1t is expert
in this country, but the farmers
of the east have demonstrated that eusil- |
age is the best and most economical win
ter food for cattle. The experiment of
Mr.. Moore will be watched with in
terest.
TAKE CARE.-The attention of the |
Mayor of the city of Sank Centre is di-
rected: firstly, to the fact that Or
dinance XIX Of the village of Sank Cen
tire, which ordinance was continued in
force by the city charter, provides for
along the east side of Ninth-st.,
now Maple-st., from Third-st to Rail
road-ave. Secondly: that a consider
able portion of that sidewalk has been
unlawfully DESTROYED and removed, and
thirdly: that charter III, sec of the
city charter provides: "The Mayor shall
take care that the laws of the state and
the ordinances of the city are duly en-
forced" 1t would seem that the duty of
of the Mayor IS too plain to need further
indications.
