Of grain in his vicinity is looking fine,

Rev. j. M. Thurston, of Window,

Monday and Tuesday. He came up
from Sibley where he held service in
the Baptist church Sunday.

report fishing in that vicininy to be
good and they captured "dead loads
of them. r.

ID. w. Chute has recently placed
some very hobby hitching posts in

Last Saturday J. D. Humiston
sold five corn planters, making %
sold this season. Mr.. Humiston has
a lot more ordered and on the way.
Heretofore the planter trade has
been three or four machines for the
season.
w. N. Dalcour, of Duluth, who
out the electric wires in the court
house last winter, was in the city this
week putting in the switches, etc.
The court house is all ready to have
the lights turned on just as soon as
Worthington puts in her electric
light plant.
Waiting for something to ''turn
up" is not profitable. The live bust

true of town-it cannot afford to
be slow and behind the times. An
electric light plant in " orthington
would enhance the value of property
every dollar it cost.
The editor and wife made a trip
to Lemars Monday. Lemars is one
of the best cities in Iowa, of like size.
It has scores of fine business houses
and hundreds of beautiful residences.
We are indebted to Editor Chanell
of the Sentinel and Hon. j. H. Win
chell for drive about the city.
