Prof. Torrens,of our public schools,
was elected Second Vice-President Of
the Southern Minnesota Teachers
Association at Mankato last week.
At special meeting of the Board
of School Inspectors last Wednesday
evening it was decided to close school
for one week, commencing tomorrow
afternoon, the spring term to COM
mence April I'd.
The Renville county gentlemen who
are seeking to establish new county,
found that their original papers we're
not legal and have started out new
petitions. In these it has been pro-
posed to acquire more of the territory
in RenviIle county and drop all of the
portion formerly embraced within Mic
ollet county and a part Of that within
Sibley county.
We are to have some fun the COM
ing summer if nothing else, says the
Granite Falls Tribune. A new race
track on the north side of town is to
be built "a half mile ring-that will
be dandy. Our horse owners are inter-
ested in seeing as good track here as
any in the country and will begin soon
to agitate the ground. One beauty
about the thing it will be close to town.
If Renville county politicians are so
hungry for Office that they must have
new county to get there, says the St.
Peter Tribune, just let them divide
their own county in the middle, which
is large enough to make two counties
the size of Nicollet or Sibley. So far
as Nicollet is concerned, she is small
enough already, and don't propose to
divide her possessions for the accom-
mediation of politicians.
At high noon last Friday "Gov."
Till Tibbetts commenced seeding
wheat on his farm at the rate of 80
acres per day. He will seed 200 acres
with wheat, 100 acres with oats, 100
acres with flax, and 60 acres with
corn. Last year he commenced April
Sd, and was one of the first to COM
mence. On Saturday nearly every
farmer in Redwood county participant
ed in the lovely rural spectacle of
seeding.
In the last issue of the Belview In
dependent, which was an excellent one,
by the way, little space is devoted
to Rev. J Ohm Sinclair's visit to the as
bestos mine, in company with Editor
Harris and Rev. McHenry. The pa
per says of Mr.. Sinclair, that mo
doubt we will see in his communica-
ton to the Pioneer Press that the mine
belongs to the Redwood Falls circuit,
as it is generally understood that Red
wood Falls covers the earth, as far as
sending news to the dailies is con-
cerned."
Redwood Camp, No. 1887, Modern
Woodmen of America, will hold their
first annual entertainment and ball
next Wednesday evening, March %.
Huntington hall has been secured
for the ball, while those who prefer to
amuse themselves in social games will
be accommodated at the lodge rooms
over Lechner's store. Hotel Francois
will provide the supper. The arrange
ments are in charge of competent
committees, who are determined to
make the first entertainment of the
order success in all respects.
An old lady calling herself Mrs.
watson imposed upon a gentleman in
this city about year ago. He took her
to Hotel Francois, also spent consid-
cradle time telegraphing to find her
relatives and friends. She claimed to
have resided near here years ago and
was looking for her son, James Will
son. She mysteriously disappeared
and after her departure it was found
she had gone through the same pro-
cedure at Duluth and other cities and
was undoubtedly fraud. She again
turns up at Alexandria where she i'm
posed on a hotel keeper for her board,
then disappeared.

notice is that of M. M. Madigan,
