The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1892-07-14
Ener Birum was at Granite Falls

Friday afternoon, July 18th.
Two sisters of Squire E. o. Chap
man-Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Carter, of
Portland, Me.-are here on visit.
The death of Louis Gerstman, a
prominent citizen of Morgan, should
have been announced in the Gazette
last week.
| Springfield Advance: Mrs. L. n.
Rowe and her daughter, Miss Lucy
Rowe, of Redwood Falls, arrived in
town Tuesday, and we're guests at W.
H. Rowe's.
| il. Garner reports that New Avon
is enjoying building boom, most OF
the new houses being erected for new
settlers. Mr.. Garner is removing his
own house and barn to higher and
better location.
Samuel Rioux and Miss Anna Le-
blanc, who were noted last week as Ii
censed to we'd, were pronounced man
and wife by Prof. NJ. H. Upton last
Friday evening, and will take up their
residence in town.
The Tracy Trumpet came out last
week under the new editorial manage
ment of V. w. Lothrop. Mr.. Lothrop
yields vigorous editorial pen, and
gives promise of making the Trumpet
tones clearer and louder than before.
G.. E. Mckay closed the sale of a
quarter section in Granite Rock last
Saturday, at ten dollars per acre, cash.
This was more than double the cost two
years ago, and shows the way wild
land in this county is getting appre-
ciated.
The poles for the telephone wires
are being set this week, and the line
will soon afford connection between
North Redwood and the Northwest
ern depot, as we'll as with this place.
The central office will be at Peck's
drug store.
Postmaster Mckay, in his usual Wig
orous way, is losing no time in i'm
proving his lot on Second street. He
has begun the erection ola solid brick
store building 20x8O, which he has
leased for term of years to Aune &
Thune, who will have a handsome
store arranged under their direction.
Several citizens are heard urging
the necessity of stringent building in
spection, so that no fire traps in the
way of barns or other structures may
be allowed within the fire limits, to
put tho town in peril. There is GER
tainly need for action on this line, and
our city fathers cannot afford to over
look it.
The officers of the county agricul-
tural society held a meeting this week,
to agree upon details for the coming
fair and the list of premiums to be is
sued. The 4th of July celebration
was magnificent success, and the
county fair has wider scope of use
fulness, and should be pushed to an
equally successful issue.
| Sleepy Eye lake claimed victim by
drowning a few days age. Hardly a
paper can be taken up lately, that
does not contain a mention of some
person drowned while bathing. We
are told that not little foolhardy
recklessness is shown by some of the
boys who battle in the Redwood, and
we suppose this will continue until
one of them ventures once too often.
| Rev. John Sinclair received sad news
from members of his family this
week. From South Africa came It'd
ings of the death of his sisters hus-
band, from cancer of the stomach, and
| a letter from his old home in Scotland
informed him that his aged mother
had been ill, and that it was feared
she might not long survive the attack.
The adage that misfortunes never
come singly is too often sadly verified.
The old green goods scheme still
finds victims occasionally. A good
many circulars have been received
through this postoffice lately offering
inducements to go into this swindle.
They found victim at St. Cloud
about two weeks ago, who went to New
York in response to circular adver-
Using counterfeit money, examined
their counterfeit" notes, bought $3.50
worth and had it shipped by express.
When the package was opened it con-
tanned brick tied up in express paper.
No one is disposed to waste much
sympathy on this particular variety of
fool.
Sanborn correspondent of Lamber-
ton Leader: A. D. Stewart, Deputy
State lecturer of the Peoples Party,
spoke in Lehne Bros. Hall, Wednes-
day evening. Mr.. Stewart has i'm
proved since last year when he was
here. Of course we hold nothing in
common with the teachings of the
Peoples Party, not having found any
thing in their platform which is con.
sistent with our views and experience.
