The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1891-01-15

OF MIR. RObt. O'Brien, in Wyanette,
Isanti county, their team broke loose
and came back home, distance of Z
miles. They crossed the bridges,
passed up Main street and went to the
livery stable without injuring them
selves or breaking a thing. The doc
tor and Mr.. Libby were obliged to walk
back to town, where they arrived
about 9 o'clock. They are now talking
of setting themselves up as champion
pedestrians on 7 mile track.
The notices for special meeting in
district No. 1, are posted, calling such
meeting, Jan. 10th, at 7 o'clock P. M.
The meeting is called for the purpose of
taking steps to secure the erection of a
new school building. More school room
is necessary, all are agreed on that
point. If it is decided to have another
school building let it be good one, one
that we all can feel proud of, and let it
be built of brick and by home men. A
neat, substantial and commodious build
ing is what is needed. And the UNION
is decidedly in favor of using home ma
terial and employing home men in the
building of it.
J. O. Anderson and wife, of Santiago,
were visiting friends in Elk River the
first of the week. Mr.. Anderson saws
the Santiago cheese factory has been
sold to the Minneapolis creamery syn
dictate, and will be turned into a cream
ery.-Saatiago Cor STAR NeaOs. )
The syndicate branch creamery at
Santiago may be a success, but we doubt
it. Patrons of the syndicate Dreamer
les should insist upon receiving the
same prices for cream all over. Where
there is brisk competition the syndicate
pays from one to four cents per gauge
more for cream than where there is none.
If cream is worth 20 cents per gauge in
Clear Lake it should be worth 2Octs. at
Monticello, Elk River and elsewhere.
Mr.. E. G. Mills expects to remove
early next month from this city to
West Superior and join the St. Cloud
colony at the head of the lake. We re-
gret to have Mr.. Mills leave St. Cloud.
His conduct of several important cases
he has had during the past year shows
him to be very promising young law
yer. He has ability and push, the
qualities to make successful man in
this busy country. Mr.. Mills has also
taken quite an interest in local affairs
and has proven himself a shrewd and
popular worker. We wish him all
good fortune. Mrs. Mills, whom our
fortunate neighbors will find very
lovely woman, and 1.-THE boy'' will ac-
company him.-St. Cloud Journal Press.
A pleasant time was enjoyed by a
party of music-loving people, at the
residence of Mr.. Benz. Soule, last Sat-
urday evening. Mr.. Chas. Lester, a
friend of DR.. L. A. Faulkner, from St.
Paul, an accomplished musician, exc
cuted some delightful music on the
piano. Mrs. Marvin, Mrs. Cooney,
Judge Dickey and Prof. Williams fav-
ored the company with duets and solos.
Again on Sunday afternoon, at the resi-
dence of N. A. Ross, we had the pleas
ure OF listening to Mr.. Lester and the
Misses Eva, Sophia and Della Ross and
Lola Jesmer. Miss Eva Ross is a mu-
stefan in every sense of the word, her
execution is perfect. The other young
ladies develop rare ability in this line.
Princeton may we'll be. proud of her
musical talent. We all hope that Mr..
Lester will visit US again. B.
The census shows that Mile Laos
county has 80 old soldiers and five SOL
diers Widows. Of this number Prince
ton has So; Greenbush, 7; Milo, Is; and
Milaca, 8. About 80 of the number re-
ceive pensions. Many of the remainder
are deserving Of and should receive
liberal pensions. The writer calls to
mind several, who are totally disabled,
who have been trying for years to get a
pension, but have not succeeded, as
yet, in getting cent of what they are
justly entitled to. Among these is John
Wedgwood of this place.. There ought
to be some plan of speedily bringing
these meritorious cases to the attention
OF the department in such manner
that their claims would be immediately
allowed. ~ An old veteran who has
served ever years as a defender of his
country's flag, and is totally disabled,
is surely deserving of something from
his country. 49,.
