from Washington to the Minneapolis
Daily Tribune announces the appoint
ment of DR.. G. c.. May, of our city, as
q member Of the pension board at

talented M. D. on this deserved CON-
pliment.
Monday night the Baptist society,
the Methodist society and Congrega-
tionalist each held Christmas services
in their respective, places of worship.
The display of presents at each place
showed that the "hard times" did not
make much of an impression on old
Santa.
-Worthington, the arbor city, pre-
sented most beautiful picture, the
first of the week. The trees were
covered with thick coating of ice,
making them resemble net work of
crystalized glass. We understand
artist Buchan was out and took a
number of views.
The ADVANCE received a brief,
hut nleasant. call Saturday from Rev.
Frank Peterson, of Minneapolis, who
was here for short visit. Mr.. Peter
son is engaged in church work, and is
very successful. He said he was
much pleased to see the ADVANCE on
the top wave of prosperity.
-Lawrance Readel and Mrs. Sarah
McCune were married last week.
They have gone to housekeeping at
Prairie Junction where Mr.. Readel is
extensively engaged in the hay bust
ness. Mrs. McCune has lived in
Mobiles county for many yeas. Mr..
Readel has lived in Jackson county
for the past dozen years. Good wishes
go with them.
We understand that a gang of
grocery peddlers are at work in this
county. Peddling is no doubt
legitimate business, but the methods

cloth peddlers are dishonest. They
usually give very low price on
some article the customer is familiar

ting a very high price on some other
article, the cost of which is not SO
generally known. Travelling peddlers
are good people not to deal with.
The Heron Lake News pays the
follows compliments to a pair of
Worthingtonites: Ed. Wilson, son
of Hon. Geo. w. Wilson, of Worth
ington, was in the city Tuesday, on
business. Ed is one of the brightest
young men in this part of the state
and does all the office business of his
fathers law practice. . . M. S.
Twitchell, of Worthington, dropped
into the News sanctum Wednesday
and made things glow by the light OF
his genial countenance. He visited
with his daughter here, Mrs. Eugene
Gillette, for few days. The News
scribe was pleased to again meet one
of the first acquaintance we made at
Worthington, and we enjoyed the
friendly call very much. Come again,
old man-you will always be well
come.
Speaking of the marriage of
Judge Cory and Miss Kelley, the Ad-
