A delegation consisting Of Chas. Ben
net, Mr.. and Mrs. o Connell and Mrs.
Bhed visited Bisnop Marty at st. Cloud
last week relative to the matter OF the
removal ofFather FITZGERALD from here.
Bishop Marty assured them that it was
misunderstanding, and that Father
FITZGERALD could stay here indefinitely
This will lie received here with much
pleasure by the entire community, as
Father Filz-Gerald has been acting and
speaking on broad religious principles,
that is doing much toward welding the
people closer together in common in
terest, that OF doing good, and he would
have been greatly missed from our
minst. The committee speak in highest
pra Use OF their reception by the Bishop,
he pelng mildly courteous gentleman,
who e, tertained them for abuse two
hours and then they were 10th to leave
How ling will it take the farmers in
this vicinity TO learn, that they can buy
groceries, OF our merchants tor great
deal less money, Equality considered)
than they can OF the smooth tongued
gentlemen that periodically solicit the
farmer trade for some alleged eastern
house. One of these grocery bills was
brought into this office by prominent
farmer, we took it to reliable grocer of
our city. and he said he would be glad
to ill the bill with the best goods in the
trade at twenty-five per cent lower than
the original bill, and still feel as ii he
had bargain, that is, discount of
percent would still give him
better prices than he IS getting for his
goods ever, day, and what is true of him
IS true OF all the grccers in the city. IF
The above farmers word is true and the
bill seems to prove, that it is, they took
advantage of his limited knowledge of
the English language and put on to him
more favoring extracts than six farm
families will use in as m my wears. 1t is
certainly to the farmers interest to buy
MS groceries at home, he not only saves
rom twenty-five to fourty per cent on
present deal bnt ifhe expects future ac
he should pataonize
home trade.
