Worthington is doing more build
ing this year than other town in this
section. It's growth at this titile*
when nearly every other town i'll tht.

most phenomenal. Besides the new
court house just completed, the t,leccs KS

been springing up all over the city IS as
if by magic, although there has been
no fuss made about it and even busy
residents who have not had their eyes
open for such things have huta s!ight5
conception of what has been going on
in the building line. , zS
It is not boom growth, either,
but is perfectly natural. and healthy

as completed, and still the demand is.
not supplied. #
What do these things mean? 's 5s
They mean, if anything, that Wor-s.
+ Ellington is the best and most pros-ss
porous city in Southwest Minnesota.
If such grand showing can be:
during the hard times. when money
is tight and everybody complaining,
what city could be built here by a:
concentration of action on the part of
all citizens and strong pull together.
Worthingtou will by no means have
its growth when this seasons build
ing is over. It will only have got
nicely started. There may be practis$
sca]ly no limit to the growth of town
with the ma tural advantages possessed
by ...s nEton. try P5apsl stforts'
are put forth to secure for the town
the; things which stimulate growth.
The tendency of the times is for the
surplus wealth of large extents of ter
ritory to flow to center of trade, aud
after town has once gained the as
tendency over. all competing
points as the commercial center for
a considerable scope of rapidly devel
oping county,. as is the case with
Worthington. there is no trouble
about it's continuing to grow as long
as the country continues to advance.
Every new enterprise or industry es-
tablished which draws more trade,
employs additional labor, or in any
way tends to create or distribute more
wealth, also invariably makes a de-
mand for more wealth producing or
wealth distributing institutions, so
that there can be no limit to the
growth of town like Worthington
until the surrounding country is ex-
exhausted and no opportunities left
for extending its trading territory
something which, Worthington's case.
it will be unnecessary to consider for
at least a hundred years yet. It is
true that the enterprises and indus
tries which town needs to keep
things moving rapidly do not always
come unasked or unaided, but Wor
Ellington people are alive to the in
terests of their town and will see that
the present gait is kept up to the
finish. 49,. .: =

sfew days previous to the late G.

henca1npment The captain and
Ellis worthy assistant James Ken
Enedy endeavored to make it plain
to each and every one OF these num-
Eerous base ball aegregations that
THE Worthington ball park was so
far from the camp grounds that
it was thought hest, by all, not
to offer any monies for ball games,
and added a P. S. to all letters
that we would play any and all
clubs that came with the under
3stauding that there was no money
in the consideration. The Spaf-

What is the secret Of dying?
Although countless millions have
died that is the sum total Of all we
know of that journey all must make.
So far death is an unexplored
country, and yet with what trans
guilty most persons depart. 1t is
the believe of some that God has
given each Of US at the moment of |
birth al angel to have care of our
soul, and while we live the celestial
ministrant is going and coming
our watch and ward, but takes it
departure at the approach of death.
Now unattended the soul quits
this world and yet usually it goes
without a murmur almost gladly.
Sometimes the dying man wants
rest and death is a sleep; some
times they are glad to die to get
rid of pain: and some are SO strong
in faith and love that death seems
to them but going home; what
ever the reason the majority OF
dying persons meet death with
calmness. Nature seems to have
provided for their transplanting by
gradually loosening the roots of
life and earthly interests lose their
hold. The almost unanimous
testimony of writer's is that death.
is to be regarded as a relief. T

The New Post Office at SeIjnsgroye.

During this week the Postmaster
of Selinsgrove will move his otiic,

The room was especially designed
for the Post Office and its dimen.
sions are ~ it. by Is #. In the
middle of the room is placed an "a
shaped case with IA large number OF
lock boxes on one side and call boxes
on the other. The general delivery
window is ut the apex of the case
while at one side OF the case is the
money order window and the other
side is the entrance for the Post
master aud his able and efficient as,
Sistant. The second floor affords
two offices and the entire buildine
Is nicely heated with hot water from
the furnace under the main bank
building. This structure is quite
an improvement to the town of Sci.
insgroye while the Post Office euuip.
ment exceeds in beauty aud utility
that of almost every other town in
this section of the state. In fact,
some OF the larger neighboring
towns can not show as nice Post
Office equipment. Such enterpris-
ing spirit should be encouraged and
the officers of the First National
Bank of Selinsgrove made an excel
lent move when they decided to en-
rect the annex to the main building.

A Good Showing

The County Auditors completed
their work ON Saturday morning.
The results are very gratifying to
everybody. The taxpayers can rest
assured that the Commissioners
have given an excellent adminlstra-
tion of affairs. When the present
board of Commissioners assumed
control there was debt Of Sl2, 700
resting upon the county. The debt
now has been reduced TO $1,000.
They have paid off over $1,000 Of the
indebtedness. They were unfortun
ate in having the May flood aud an eN-
penditure of 5000 was necessary for
rebuilding the Burns X SeIlnsgroyc
bridges in conjunction with rebuild
ing two others. The annex 10 the
court house cost SGGj. We feel sure
that the reducing of the county
debt to the extent of 5000 will be
welcome news. If this tendency to
frugality continues the debt will he
entirely cancelled before they sur
render the reigns of government.
