When you come to town don't for
get to drop in and pay your subscrip-
ton, if you are delinquent. Remem-
her that $1.5O will not break you,

the publisher great deal of good. If
you don't come to Redwood send a
money or express order.

John Ilett and wife returned to

A farmer in LeSueur county was
badly troubled with blackbirds in his
cornfield and resolved to slay them.
He took down his old muzzle loader,
and having no shot, he showed in a
handful of tacks onto the powder and
went to his field. He was shouting
mad, and made the corn stalks rattle
with profanity. A shower of the birds
rose and few into tree near by-he
fired, and was the most surprised man
in that section every bird in the flock
was nailed to the tree, with their
wings flapping-said he: q was
struck with the sight. and while I
stood watching them id my buttons
if the tarnel things didn't pull up the
tree and fly away with it went
home disgusted."
S. P. Hicks, of the Nettiewyynnt
Farm, Gales township, has purchased
from Dickinson & Tyson, their famous
estopped bull, Peerless Knight 1O359,
who has SO long been at the head of
the Glendale herd, but who gave
away to Golden Abbott 1876, last
year. Peerless Knight is the prettiest
specimen of animal kind in this Sec
ton of the State, barring Golden
Abbott, and is declared to be king
among Polled Angus Aberdeen cattle
of Minnesota. He is famous son OF
Benevento 6642, bred by John Han
nay, of Scotland, and Pride of Gui-
sacham 6713, bred by Lord Tweed
mouth. His purchase by Mr.. Hicks
means a great deal for the stock inter-
ests of the southwestern section of
Redwood county, and for the Polled
Angus Aberdeen class of fine cattle.
His large family at the Glendale
Farm, is alone sufficient endorse
ment of the beauty and splendor of
the animal. Mr.. Hicks is to be con-
graduated on his purchase.
The suffocation of Frank Cooty, of
Tyler, by foul gas, in we'll on Sept.

struck a stone or something at a
depth of 40 feet and Cooty went down
