Mower County transcript., 1893-10-25

AlUcIU Ltd Ill CC1 P14oO. : Duulp,
the long time farmer of London town
ship, has removed to Austin to reside
and while we shall miss his face great
ly and his visits here we realize that
he has earned cessation from labor
and hope that he will find life pleasant
in the home of his choice. He is a
good citizen and Austin is fortunate
in securing him.
Chatfeld Democrat: The recon-
mendation of the committee of indi-
vidual awards of the worlds fair, ac-
cording to the estimate of the judges,
will give Minnesota agricultural ex-
hibits 300 certificates for grains and
100 medals on flour. This will be d
larger number of awards to the num-
Der of exhibits in the agricultural di-
vision than any other state.
Albert Lea Enterprise: The man
for whom the city OF Austin was
named has been discovered and he is
holding down government position.
His name is Austin Nichols and he is
postmaster Of the town of Nichols,
Swift county. Minn., also named after
him. He evidently has a penchant
for giving names to towns and his de-
sire to hold office seems to permeate
some of the worthy citizens of Austin.
Montevideo Leader: We overheard
a farmer remark that his boy will
make more money this year off of two
or three acres of potatoes than his
dad will get from so acres of wheat.
He also said that his garden and his
hen house will yield about as much as
the rest of the farm. Next year he
will limit his wheat acreage to his
actual needs for home consumption
and will raise potatoes, onions and
garden truck instead. He will also
enlarge his dairy and corn field, and
raise clover.
Providence r. I. News: We Of.
(Rhode IslanD know what idle mills
mean. We know that no community
on the globe was more prosperous one
year ago today than that embraced
within the boundary lines of our little
state, 'and we know today that nc
where in the country is the future
viewed with more apprehension than
right here in Rhode Island. We have
had and still have our thousands of
unemployed, and continuance of
the present state of affairs means
great suffering and distress before
spring.
Blue Earth City Post: Kinney
Woodard and Ed. Morgan, of Wells,
have purchased the Clayton store
and property and Mr.. Morgan has
moved his family there and is in charge
of the store. He informs US that next
spring they intend to enlarge the store
by at least 25 90 80 feet and put in
hardware and drugs. Being practical
druggists they will be right at home.
It is good trading point and they re-
port satisfactory trade. They now
want creamery and blacksmith and
Clayton offers fine inducements for
both for it is in the midst of rich
farming country and has large scope
of country to draw trade from,
Luverne News: Times are hard of
course, but what a commentary on
the stringency in the money market it
is when ''merry-go-round" can take
in over $500 in one day in a place the
size of Luverne, and find business
enough to keep it here more than a
week, and some fakirs with three
shells or slight of hand soap trick,
can take in the suckers as fast as they
can dispose of them, and a patent
medicine fraud can sell 125 bottles of
"Nervine" at 81 per bottle, in an hour
or so, while an electric belt peddler does
nearly as we'll. The News would like
to know how many unpaid accounts
I are outstanding against some of those
who spent their money so freely for
the exhilaration of the Nervine or the
whirliglg or ''blew it in'' on the shell
game. j:.-<. .
