tu4es published in the St. Paul papers,
fixes October 5 as the date of opening
of the institute for Redwood county
with Profs. Rocheleau and Hyde as
instructors.
Ed. McClintock has been putting
out three 16-horse power Minnesota
Chief thresher outfts-one for Chris,
Olson, of Delhi, one for Anderson
Bros, of New Avon, and the third for
John Kobasch. of Renville county.
The heated term last week was short,
but intense, the mercury going up al
most to the hundred mark in the
shade, Friday and Saturday. A cold
wave followed, and at this writing the
nights are almost too cool for comfort
New Ulm is making ample prepare
tons for an immense reception of the
people, on Saturday of next week, when
the Sioux monument is to be dedieat-
ed. A good sized delegation from
Redwood county will probably take
advantage of reduced fares and attend.
SO. Mason heard Monday that the
house of Geo. A. Quale, southwest of
Lamberton, in Cottonwood county,

zette, was in town last week making
arrangements to have plate glass
front and other improvements put up

By regrettable oversight of the
editor, the Gazette last week left out
notice of the death of Mamie, young
est child of Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Good
rich, which occurred July 3Oth. We
trust it is not too late to join with
many others in regret that this be-
reavement has visited the family of an
old and respected citizen.
The rumor quoted from the New
Ulm Review last week, relative to a
change of owners on the Sleepy Eye

repudiates the story, and Editor Smith,
of the Leader, simply announces that
he is going to enlarge and improve
his paper at Lamberton.
Attorney Madigan has been quietly
conducting a suit of his own of late,
which was decided in favor of the
plaintiff on the LIST inst, when he was
united in marriage to Miss Matte
Murphy, at the home of the brides
parents, Westborough, Ohio. Mr..
Madigan returned with his bride last
week, and received the congratulations
of friends aith his usual equanimity.
The Gazette would like to see the
ladies of the w. C. T. U. take hold of
the refreshment stand at the fair
grounds this year. This would not on
ly insure the best of service on the
grounds, but as the fair promises to be
an unusually popular one, the venture
ought to insure good-sized addition
to the w. c. T. U. treasury. The pub

deserving organization carry on its IL

An inquiry as to some splendid
heads of caulifower in front of Ack-
mann's disclosed the fact that Geo
Drake, the harness dealer, was the
grower, and that he is no SLOUGH on

gardeners in this vicinity are missing
good thing by allowing the market
here to be supplied by shipments
from the cities. If you don't believe
these things can be successfully anG
