. A sled load of feed was found to be
considerably reduced in size, when the
driver, who had stopped over Saturday
night, at Estes mill, went out to hitch
up, Sunday morning, to go up river.
He delayed the trip until the absent
feed was located in a retired spot in
the woods and restored to it's former
place on the load.
Hundreds Of tons OF hay and hun
dreds of cords of wood, are coming
into the market weekly. Many Of the
farmers are hauling and shipping their
wood direct to Minneapolis and ST..
Paul. The hay is bought by local buy
ers at good figures. Potatoes are COM
ing in slowly, prices ranging from IS
to 40 cents per bushel.
The furnaces at the court house, do
not supply sufficient heat to keep the
offices above the freezing point. They
have been what the building re-
quired and as the building grows older,
the work of heating becomes neces-
sarily greater. New furnaces are re-
quired and should be put in without
delay, or the old affair repaired.
Farmers. potatoes will not always
command good prices in Princeton.
There is no money in wheat. A couple
of acres in garden truck, some years,
might be worth more than all the
balance of your crops. If the pickle
factory is built and operated it will af-
ford you a cash market for every
bushel of garden truck you raise.

The circulating library is now open
with a supply of good books on hand.
C. A. Jack is the local librarian. Those
holding membership certificates or
members of families in which certif-
cate is held, may draw books. The
books were selected by the teachers in
the public schools, which is sufficient
recommendation as to the merits of the
books.
A fellow was angry with US the other
day, and called our paper a two by four
country newspaper. Could we have re-
torted? Most certainly, but we quietly
departed from his presence, leaving
him to think that his stroke was a
paralytic one, and that our limited op-
portunities in life, in the country, had
precluded the possibilities of our know
ing anything.
Let the farmers of Princeton and the
surrounding country be on hand at the
pickle factory meeting in the village
hall on Saturday afternoon of Feb. 9th.
Then and there it will be finally de-
cided whether or not a pickle factory
will be built in Princeton. Let there
be no hanging back. Every farmer
within a radius of ten miles of Prince
ton should be interested.

pay without running the town over to
collect our just dues.
The amateur theatrical troupe have
under contemplation, a play, probably
1.-THE Silver King" Along about the
18th of March is the time talked of.
The proceeds, outside of necessary ex-
penses, will all be turned into the
hearse fund. The ability of the home
talent ranks second to none in the
amateur line. Nearly all of the former
players are still in the village, and are
ready and willing to take hold and
push the matter along. { Z. -
