Ole Swenson offers his residence
property in Cresco for sale, having de-
termined ri. remove his family to and
make his permanent home in Rose
land, La, where he is now spending
the winter and where he has purchas-
ed residence. The family desire to
leave at the end of the present month
if possible, except Wesley, who will
remain until spring. In the removal
of this family, Cresco loses those who
will be sorely missed as citizens and
neighbors, and for their social and
! musical qualities.

Mrs. F. NJ. Dissmore and the boys,
Guy and Harry, returned home to
North Dakota, Friday, the writer
accompanying them to st. Paul and
Minneapolis. In this connection it
is perhaps proper to thank the Great
Northern railway for transporta-
tion favors extended. The generosity
Of that road is in strange contrast
with the impecunious treatment OF the
c. M. s. St. Paul. At Minneapolis on
the first day OF February, Mr.. A. c..
Matthews, a friend and family ac-
quaintance almost from his infancy,
celebrated the anniversary of his sixty
fourth birthday, upon which anspi-
cious event we are allowed to con-
gratulate him. For twenty-five and
perhaps more years he has had charge
, of the repairs, construction, chan ges
and improvements of every
kind in the immense Washburn
Crosby Milling plant of the Mill
city. By recent device, this mill at
/ a trifiing expense, washes and
. thoroughly dries the wheat that
, contains smut, rendering. it. cleaner
and better than the best unwashed
wheat that can be bought; and making
lit ready for immediate milling
5 The other milling companies of the
r place are resorting to every imagin.
