Ulm boys played game of ball Sun

"No," remarked S. S. Gale, of Gales
township, as Sheriff Blethen made for
an excuse for not calling on his old
friend that he has not yet had an op-
portunity to even serve summons on
a Gales resident, 1--WE are all too dog
ged poor to even warrant the serving
of summons upon us"
An average estimate of Redwood
county wheat crop for 1894, based on
reports from nearly every township in
the county, put it at between seven
and eight bushels. The oat crop will
not be over 10 bushels. Corn, at the
present time, promises to be good
crop, and fax about three-quarters.
Mrs. H. D. Chollar and Miss Eliza
beth Chollar returned home from their
winters sojourn in California, last
Wednesday evening. Both are of the
opinion that the country around Los
Gatos, San Jose, Monterey, and Palo
Alto, is much prettier section than
any other portion of the State. The
southern portion of the State was not
at all pleasing to them.
In regard to Col. McPhaiIs write
up of the joke played on D. L. Big
ham in 1871, Mr.. Bigham states that
the superintendent of schools was not
elective until 1876 or 1873, and conse-
quently he was not candidate at the
time mentioned. About 1871 there
was legislative meeting, gotten up
for joke, but Mr.. Bigham contends
that he saw the joke at once, and re-
fused to have anything to do with the
meeting.
H. G. Hays, of Sleepy Eye, always
carries his nerve with him, and dis
plays it too. In a communication to
the Journal last week, inquiring for a
base ball club that would run against
Redwood Falls, in his town on the
Fourth, our bright newspaper friend
calls the local team Sleepy Eye
product. We like to see a fellow
swear by his town and Hays does it,
you bet. The team secured to play
Redwood Falls are the Blacks,of Min
neapolis.

six months visit among friends and
relatives in Central Illinois, last Thurs

which Illinois is noted, promises to be
one of the largest crops the State has
ever had. Miss Martin was naturally
disguised with Redwood county crop
prospects, upon her arrival here.
