In patronizing home dealers, when
you are compelled to ask credit, is
business, and it is also business to
trade at home when you have cash or
its equivalent. "Buy from those who
buy from you" is a good plan to
| follow, and reciprocity is as adj
/ vantageous to communities as it is to
nations. We, as communities are in
terdependeut, for that which is to the
advantage of one is of benefit to the
other, all interests are promoted by
trading with those who trade with
you.
We have recently learned of the
death of Miss Nellie Kellogg, which
occurred at Buffalo, N. Y, on the 14th,
inst. Miss Kellogg was for several
years resident of this village and
was both popular and highly es-
teemed young lady, and her many
old friends will be surprised and
panied to hear of her unexpected
decease. No particulars of her death
have been received other than that it
was the result of a critical surgical
operation she had recently under
gone.
Numerous complaints are made Of
the intolerable odor arising from the
slough south of town and steps should
be taken to abate the nuisance It is
not difficult or expensive operation
to reopen and deepen the outlet, and
if the board of health declare it nuis-
ance and order it abated, those bene-
fitted by the drainage of the lake
would have to pay the small cost in
Cured. We fear unless there is some
thing done, that sickness will result,
as those whose property is adjacent
find the foul smell almost unbearable.
It would seem as if fax raising was
most expensive crop at any price, for
it is not only exhausting to the soil,
but it has done untold damage by
bringing into the county all kinds of
foul stuff, the wild mustard and
Russian thistle being among the
most dangerous weeds imported in
fax seed. A lot of seed imported
from South Dakota last spring shows
that the seed was foul with Russian
thistle, and there is not tract on
which the seed was sown, but this
cursed pest has made its unwelcome
appearance.
While playing in the new school
house last Friday, Douglas, the nine
year old son of J. w. Bailey, was
seriously injured by falling from the
second to first stories, a distance of
eighteen feet. He fell head foremost
and struck on pile of brick, fractur-
ing the skull and sustaining other
minor but painful injuries. Drs.
Hulburd and Sutherland were hastily
summoned and found it necessary to
raise the depressed skull bone and
also to remove the broken pieces. The
injured lad is progressing favorably,
and the physicians have high hopes
of a speedy recovery.
On Friday morning last George
Hambline, formerly employed in the
Great Northern depot, was found
dead in his bed at the hotel where he
was stopping. He had been ailing
for sometime past, but was not con-
sidered seriously sick and had been
out and about couple of days prior
to his death. It is not known what
was the immediate cause of his sudden
decease, but it is supposed to have
been due to heart disease. His
brother L. A. Hambline, of Willmar,
was notified and arrived on the first
train, and arranged for the interment
at this place, the funeral occurring on
Saturday afternoon.
Julius Aschenbach, who was ar
rested as noted in last issue, for
abusing and also threatening to kill
his wife, is now in Jail, on a ninety
day sentence, and will remain there
until his term expires unless he can
give bonds for good behaviour, and
from his reputation it is not likely he
can find anyone to go his surety.
