The proposed new Bunker Hill
road will not only benefit the farmers
in that direction, but will make it
possible for considerable land to be
plated and put on the market. The
city owns ten acres which can be
plated and sold for more than it is
now worth, or at any rate improved
in value. The city should proceed as
soon as possible to have this road
graded.
The Marshall Messenger says that
while Donnelly was getting off his
harrangue there the other day, he as
serted that the farmers of Lyon
county lacked the excellence of goods
secured by town people, and he was
instantly met and stopped in his
speech by denunciations and protesta-
tions of farmers present that they en-
ioyed and secured everything in the
way of comforts and luxuries they de-
sired. So startling was the demon
stration, that Donnelly was non.
plussed, and asserted that in that
event, Lyon county must be paradise
and 1 would like to come here and live
Don't, Don't, was cried from various
parts OF, the house, and rather dis
comfitted, Mr.. Donnelly brought his
second talk to close"
Clements & Hoerr are accumula-
ting great stock of eggs for the fall
trade. They have the largest and
most complete establishment in
southern Minnesota and with their
new refrigerator process are able to
handle their goods in better shape
than ever before. By the aid of pipes
their refrigerator is kept at 80 de-
grees and could be made much colder
The poultry refrigerator will be kept
below the freezing point and their
poultry frozen solid. Even with the
large storage capacities Of their
building, the firm is already cramped
for room, which gives some idea of
the size of their business. Their
present stock includes 24O, 900 dozen of
eggs.
-Sibley County Independent: The
resignation of Prof. L. Bliss, of the
Henderson High School, is severe
blow to the entire community, and it
is doubtful if another of his capabili-
ties can be found at the present time
to I'll his place. Prof. Bliss has
brought the school up to it's present
standard, that of first grade High
School, and cannot be given too much
credit. When the school board were
confronted with his resignation last
week they were utterly dismayed.
They had just agreed to raise his sal
airy for the coming term at meeting
held few days previous. Mr.. B. has
accepted a position in the High
School at Mankato and his salary is
to be 1900 year. Prof. and Mrs.
Bliss will be sorely missed by their
many friends here and especially by
the pupils of the school. We join
their many friends in wishing them
success in their new field of labor.
