We publish in this paper an ar.
ticle, Cause and Effect, from the
Minneapolis Tribune. We wish every
reader Of the ADVANCE would read the
article all through farmers especially
will be interested in it.
The meetings at Green school
house, four miles north west from
town, were attended with won.
derful interest. Rev. Mr.. Lumm is
doing good work for the cause Of
Christ. His work is telling wherever
he goes.
Another Worthington gentleman,
Hon. G. P. Shepard, has been appoin-

Office. He is well: fitted for the posi-

That some men who pay the least
taxes swell up with great deal of
dignity when anyone refers to their f.

crat-And you might also add that
the man who pays the least taxes will
make the greatest howl against any
public improvement.
The Luverne News pays DR.. Ed
Dolan this compliment. The News
editor had the pleasure Of meeting
DR.. Edward Dolan, of Worthington,
last Saturday, and spent q pleasant
half hour in his company. The county
commissioners last week showed their
appreciation of the doctors merits by
naming him county physician for the
eastern half of Mobiles County.
The director Of the Iowa weather
bureau in his publication, The Wea-
Their Review, says: Wild geese were
observed flying northward on Jan. IS.
This fact was regarded by some PEG
pie as an indication Of an early spring
but in all probability those geese soon
found that they had been misled by
a silly and conceited old gander.
The average goose, whether tame or
wild, dosent know any more about
the future weather than-well, than
our so-called planetary weather
prophets. III
ID. j. Forbes has sold his interest
IN the Adrian Roller Mills to y IS.
Cole and Will Parry, and will doubt
less leave Adrian in the near future.
The loss Of Mr.. Forbes and his esti-
mable family will occasion general re-
greet, as during their residence here
they have made warm friends of all.
Mr.. Forbes is one of the best millers
in the state. He has grown up in the
business, and it will be a matter of
only short time until he finds new
location. Wherever he goes the best
wishes of the whole of Adrian gowith
him and his.-Adrian Democrat.
Mr.. Forbes is the gentleman who has
been most active in. the endeavor to
prevent the erection of court house.
The Democrat, as usual, has been
misrepresenting Ellsworth. The News,
last week, brought the. Democrat up
"a-standing" and says: The Adrian
Democrat says that John McParland
got l20 signatures, in Grand Prairie,
to- his petition to the County Com'rs.
demonstrating against building a
court house, and therefore "The
News does not voice the sentiment of
Grand Prairie, as it claims to do"
The News never claimed to voice the
sentiment of the entire township but
we do claim and can prove it that it
voices the sentiment of the people of
Ellsworth, and the absence of the
names of Ellsworth people on Mack's
petition will show it. We doubt if a
half dozen in this village ever saw or
heard of the petition.
