resident OF this county, died in Sank Cen
tire on Sunday at a ripe old age, after an
illness of five months. He came here in
the fall of 1854. buying a farm near
Spring Lake, in the town of Nininger,
where he remained until after the war,
when he removed to Stearns County,
where he has since made his home. Mr..
Sprague was county commissioner from
the second district two terms, 1861 to

Walter Hogan of Pillsbury, Todd
county, has built up from nothing, very
prosperous business in carding woods.
He is great rustler, but has no capital
to use in expanding his enterprise as he
would like to do. He has made all the
machinery he uses and has persevered in
the face of the greatest difficulties. He
would like a larger field. and the HERALD
has no doubt he could be persuaded to
locate here, if little inducement were
offered him, and enlarge the business to
that of first class wooden mill in time.
1t is matter well " orth considering.

the Opera House on Friday evening was
successful in every particular. The mu-
steal part OF the programme was enjoy
able throughout, the Rotations were
well and acceptably rendered, and the

ing. The circulating library was novel
feature. The gentlemen paid ten cents
for the privilege of drawing and even for
kelimited time was cheap at the fee asked.
The grand march was attractive, and in
every particular the entertainment was
pleasant. 1t netted about forty dollars.
w. o. P Hilsdale has some doubts as
to whether advertising pays, but none
whatever as to whether people read adj
vertisemen,nts. In the clothing, boot and
shoe and dry goods business he knows
that advertising is profitable; but when
it comes to the dog business he is salts
fed there is no money in it. He adyer-
tised a lost pug dog in the HERALD, with
a reward to the person who would re-
turn the animal. The advertisement
brought back the dog all right, and he
paid the reward. But eyer SINCE that
| time whenever either one ofl1is puas man.
