Mr.. Ticknor as returned from his
visit to Brownton.
Editor Bohanon, of the Lamborton
Leader, accompanied by his wife, was
in town last week..
Messrs. Human, Double and Sch O.
field, of Morton, we're doing the town
last Monday evening.
Ed. Larsen, farmer residing west
of here, took quiet departure from
the Delhi depot over the St. Louis
last Saturday.
j. M. Thompson, of Belview, was in
the city last Tuesday, en- route for St.
Paul and Minneapolis, returning home

Carlton E. Rice, of Owatonna, a
heavy land owner in this county, has

days attending to business matters.
Col. George Shelton came over from
his farm in Charlestown to take in the
fair, last Thursday. Col. Shelton is
an active farmer and believe in mix
ture.
Alexander Harkin and wife, the lat
ter a mother to Charles E.Lamberton,
of this city, sailed from Glasgow to
New York, en- route for their St. Peter

The butter exhibit at the fair this
year was far ahead of that of any
previous year, there being a larger
quantity exhibited and that of better
quality. 1t is recommended that all
butter be exhibited in five pound jars
next year.
John Kennedy, of St. Peter, who
has just returned from the Black
Hills, was in town last week. He is
considering a proposition from the
people of Echo to put in Touring
mill in that pushing little town, and
is likely to accept the same.
Rural Center: Attorney Chadder-
don, the Populist attorney from St.
Cloud, has taken up his residence at
Redwood Falls. We understand that
he is not altogether stranger at that
place, but has near relatives who are
old and respected citizens of that city.
The Walter Wellman letters from
the North Pole, published in The GA
zETTE exclusively, so far as this county
is concerned, are the most interesting
articles ever written from the land of
the midnight sun, and to say that
they are generally read would be put
ting it mildly.
Wilbur Thomas Chollar left last
Monday for Chicago, where he will
commence the second year of his
course in the Chicago University
one of the best educational institutions
in the United States. Wilbur is TAX
ing a general course in that institu-
ton, and may yet be one of the "wise
mon of the east" He will probably
not be in Redwood Falls again until
the close of the 1896 term next June
If reports be true Editor Blandin,
of the Sanborn Sentinel, is soon to re-
tire from that paper. 1t is unfortun-
ate that an editor cannot please every
body and that people will allow poll
ticial prejudices to enter into their
business relations. Mr.. Blandin is
only human, has given Sanborn pa
per that would have been a credit tc
a much larger town, and yet little
things have arisen, we understand
that makes a change more congenial
He will be missed at Sanborn.
Work on the new county Jail is
likely to commence the first of mex,
week, Chairman Philbrick, of the
Board of County Commissioners, hav-
ing received a letter from Attorney
Childs, and Deputy State Treasure,
Iverson to the effect that the applica.
ton for a loan of $13,5OO from the
State school funds, to be used in the
construction Of the building, has been
recommended, and might be had the

made to run fourteen years, fourteen
bonds to be issued for that purpose
one being for $500 to be paid the frs,
of July next, and the other thirteen

recurring July LIST until paid. The
steam plant in the court house has
been paid for out of the general
revenue fund.
