Remember the Sunday-school con
vention Saturday of next week.
DR.. Nichols of Granite Falls, ha
opened a drug store at Wood Lake.
The clothing man smiles, and th'
fuel dealer answereth hal ha! as tn,
mercury droops.
Just cold enough to popularize thu
evening Preside and remind the deal
people that now is the time 20 sub
scribe.
The roof is now being put in place
on the new part of the school house
and with weeks favorable weather il
will be fully inclosed.
The band boys cleared up about $50
out of their benefit last Friday even
ing, and those who attended the ball
report a good time.
That steam heat in the Francois
block showed up in great shape during
the recent snap. The Citizens Bank
also had chance to test it's new fur
mace.
Ernest Rist and Christine Christen-
sen, of Sherman, and Chas. A. Lauer
and Augusta Bladow, of Lamberton,
were licensed to we'd during the past
week.
A few of our school boys are work
ing manfully on the woodpiles of our
citizens, but there is still scarcity of
talent in that line, and many house
holders are prepared to say, Il went,
l sawed, I was overcome"
Capt. Sanders sold a lot of his land
last week, Chas. Brewster and Thos.
Dennistoun each getting quarter-sec-
ton in Paxton, and Hugh Greene a
quarter in section 36, town of Redwood
Falls. From SIS an acre upward was
paid.
A letter recently written by Mrs.
Flynn to her business agent here, J.B.
Robinson, records that Messrs. Peter
Smith and G. L. French have both es-
tablished themselves in California
Mr.. Smith on his place,and Mr.. French
at Redlands, where he secured work at
his trade very soon after his arrival,
at $500 per day.
Chairman Whittet was Intercepted
Monday in regard to the new court
house, and expressed the opinion that
Contractor Lettau would have his part
of the work completed within thirty
days. He added that the work had
been we'll done, at a cost so low that
the contractor would probably have
very narrow margin of profit out of the
job. The work of placing the furniture
in the new building, and making it
ready for occupancy, will probably de-
lay the change from the old to the new
until New Years or there
abouts.
The W. C. T. q. rooms were crowd
ed last Friday evening, on the occasion
of their social. The worser half of Gre
alton was sadly in the minority, but
the loss was theirs. The Misses Houck
sang duet, Mrs. Philbrick solo, land
Messrs. Martin and Tanner rendered
Ship Ahoy," concluding with very
affective recitation of "The Fa,nine,"
from Hiawatha, by Ed. Houck. The
main design of the gathering was So
rather than amusement or
but we suggest that the ladies
should not be too modest about keep
ing their claim to public support to
The front, and gathering in the dimes.
Our fire company disbanded last
Friday night, by request of the council.
One of the old members informs us
that the object is reorganization,
that the boys can be depended upon
meanwhile, to do their best in case of
need, which we hope may not arise
soon. The former chief has no knowl-
edge of any plans for recognizing,
and fears it will not be easy to re-en-
list company now when it is most
needed. The old company deserves
unanimous vote of thanks for what
it has done in the past, under some
disadvantages. Just why the boys
we're disbanded cannot be learned from
them or from Mayor Dickinson, and.
has given rise to some criticism. It is
obvious that our town needs fire de-
partment, and needs it badly at this
season of the year.
