Notes From Exchanges.
Worthington Advance: The heart
of the farmer softens toward all man.
kind as he wakes up in the night and
hears the little pota toes hollering to
the big ones to lay over and give them
more room to grow.
Spring Valley Mercury: During the
thunder storm Thursday a son Of Obe
Clouse was stunned by stroke Of
lightning and fell from the reaper.
The horses ran away, demoralizing the
harvester, but the boy was unhurt.
Waseca Radical: Prof. K. G. Davis
of Austin, in charge Of the teachers
training school, made US a call last
week and reports the school getting
on we'll and progressing quite satis-
factory. Mr.. Davis is very pleasant
gentleman to meet.
Wells Advocates: Mr.. J. D. Sheedy
was in town Thursday OF last week
and with George Gillson made SET
tlement with those who had insurance
in the Alliance Hail & Cyclone Mutual
Insurance Co. of Austin, and whose
crops were injured by the hail storm
that passed north Of town.
Northwood Index: Mr.. Willie Speu-
Ger, being Oh a visit to Austin rela-
tives;; drove over to Northwood last
week to spend brief period with
many friends in the home Of his child:
hood. He returned to Austin Sun
day afternoon, just ahead of the rain
storm, his sister, Miss Nellie, accom-
panying him.
Spring Valley Vidette: 1t is re-
ported that Nate Elliott and Jim
Reidel have bought out the town of
Elkton, over in Mower county, so to
speak, and will remove there soon
with their families and erect and
operate large hotel, grain elevator
and stock Yards. Eugene Parkhurst
will also 60 there and take charge of
their grain business.
Usage News: A car OF butter and
eggs shipped from Usage recently was
probably the most valuable of all that
have ever left this county. Alta price
Of Is cents for butter and 10 cents for
eggs, the value was $4,0l4. The
freight to Chicago was $3.50, and from
here to. New York 1912. It would
take six or seven carloads of hogs to
bring four thousand dollars.
Anoka Union: I am told that a
butcher shop inthis town had six nice
bolognas eaten in one day by nibblers,
and so it goes all over town. I don't
think Anoka is worse than any other
towns, but there are many people,
who if they stop to think, wouldn't
do it as much as they do now. At
best it is hard on the dealers and
they dislike to call anyone down, but
sometimes they just ought to-.
Preston Times: You can go to bed
o'nights,feeling much easier,and con-
tented if ouknow that your boy and
your neighbor's boy are taking active
part in Young Mems Christian
Association, than if you suspect that

Even the scoffers at religion must
admit that there is nothing in it's
teachings which does not tend tow
ard making a good citizen, so encour-
age the Y. M. G. A.
Rushford Star: +, In less than year
the National Repu blican Convention
will meet to name the next president
of the United States, for it is a fore
gone conclusion that the Republicans
will win the elections of 1896: Many
names have been mentioned for this
high honor. Mckinley, Reed and
Allison, but none of these names fire
the enthusiasm Of the Republicans OF
Minnesota like the name of our pres.
ent senior senator, Cushman X. Davis.
Waseca Herald: We regret to OBJ.
serve that Mr.. Donnelly's Representa-.
tive is now advertising for whisky
dealers. His paper not only pub.
fishes '''reading notices" advocating
The sale of certain brands Of whisky,
but we observe that.it takes the posi-.
tion that the Peoples party can not
"afford to load itself down with tenn.
perance and woman suffrage doc
trines."' This. is. an indication OF
weaknessI on the part of the Repre-.
