The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1894-09-27

Mrs. Till Tibbetts and father, G. B.
Hollenbeck, are visiting with relatives
in Minneapolis.
It is probable that Bishop Fowler,
the eminent Methodist divine, will
participate in the dedication of the
Methodist church at this place. He
will be in this section at the time, and
Rev. Hanscom is now attempting to
secure him for one day, at least. If
the Bishop participates in the dedica-
ton he will deliyer his well known
and justly celebrated lecture on Abra-
ham Lincoln in the evening.
1t was happy thought Of Mrs. j.
D. Jackson's, that of having a prone
made concert in connection with the
fall opening of the millinery store last
Tuesday evening. An admission fee
of 10 cents was charged, the total pro-
ceeds to go to the Hinckley sufferers.
A large crowd was present during the
evening. The band boys appeared in
several selections; Mrs. G.. G. johnson,
Miss Forbush, Messrs. Buxton and
Martin sang "The World is What We
Make It." 10y Pugh read "How I
Attended the Baby" Miss Forbush
sang solo; Mesdames Mcmillan and
Philbrick sang a Duet; Rev. John
Sinclair gave five-minute address on
some things he saw at Hinckley;
Chas. Buxton sang a solo, and Rev. L.
L. Hanscom pronounced the benedic-
ton. The store was neatly and beauti-
fully arranged with fall and winter
styles of millinery, and very interest
ing hour and a half was spent there
that evening.
Quite number of our people turn
ed out to the Chautauqua meeting
Monday evening, and had very
pleasant time. Shortly after So'clock
Rev. Sinclair called the meeting to
order and moved that Mr.. John H.
Bowers act as chairman of the even
ing, which motion carried, and Mr..
Bowers in a neat little speech of
thanks for the honor, and eulogizing
the Chautauqua work, took the chair
and the meeting properly opened, and
the Chautauqua circle work discussed.
In the call for names to join the Circle
for this years work II names were
given which we're taken down by Miss
Beecher. After short discussion the
motion that the Circle meet at 7:3O
o'clock on Monday evenings was
adopted. Mr.. E. R. Houck, Miss Lin
we'll and Miss Beecher were appointed
as committee to prepare a program
for the next evening. Meeting adj
journed to next Monday evening (Oct.
lst,) at half past seven o'clock at the
home of Miss Beecher, on Minnesota
St., to which all persons interested
are cordially invited.
The weekly weather crop bulletin
for the week ending Sept. Is, says
that the accumulated temperature for
the week was in excess of the usual
amount, but the nights were cool with
frequent frosts. The staple crops, ex-
cept flax, have matured and are out of
danger, therefore the only harm that
frosts can now do is to this cereal, late
garden truck and fruit, all of which
have been more or less damaged dur
ing the week. Good showers passed
across the State Thursday and Fri
day; they were very beneficial in soft
ening the soil for fall blowing, but
more rain is needed. The quantity
which fell was not uniform and in a
number of localities it is still too dry
to make satisfactory advancement
with this important work. High winds
delayed threshing in the northern Sec
ton for two days, otherwise the
weather has been favorable and more
grain has been threshed than is usual
at this time of the year. Potato
digging is becoming general and the
yield continues to be reported light,
with the quality quite variable. The
frosts also damaged some corn fodder
so that it will not pay to cut it, but
the corn itself is practically all out of
danger. Where the rainfall was great
est the pastures have improved and
stock get their living without being
helped, elsewhere they are more or
less assisted with feed. Owing to the
drouth the acreage of winter grain al
ready sown is less than it would other
wise have been.
