The Redwood Roller Mills started

New and larger rolls were added to

mill has been increased from As bar

tended feed grinding business.
Several citizens have suggested that
the question of celebrating July 4th
be advanced for the consideration of
the citizens of Redwood Falls. Up to
date there is not town around Red
wood Falls agitating celebration and
if one can be arranged for in this city,
commensurate with the dignity and
size of the place, it would be very
wise thing to have one. If a half cele-
bratioD can only be arranged it would
be better to postpone it altogether an
til there is enough enthusiasm to
make success of the affair.

known here that the younger Pierce
had taste for active military life, and

tinction on the Cuban battlefelds, as
he was so constituted as to be reck-
less and daring on the field of battle.

last Saturday evening. A rain pre-
coded the whole and to the north
could be heard the Gathering of hail
for ten minutes during the rainfall
here. Then the skies commenced to

tinged them red and white. The fore
most cloud rolled upward over the
others, and then the color changed to
golden yellow. Finally, as the sun
disappeared, the clouds we're given
the appearance of a murky gray, and
shortly they passed away to the
southeastern horizon.
