cradle of money. We have purchased
other farms in more sparsely settled
sections for our boys. We know the
worth of both. We would be voting
against our own interests if we cast a
ballot to depreciate the value OF our
farms one cent, and that is just what
we would be doing if we voted to
make 100 cents out of So. We, from
the old country have had an experience
that we do not care to have repeated
again"
Reliable estimates of the vote in
Freeborn county give the county to
Mckinley by at least 1900 majority,
and possibly 5000. Gov. Clough will
not run but very few votes behind
Mckinley, owing to the bitter feeling
against free silver coinage.
The writer was the guest of R. c..
Blackmer, editor of the Freedom
County Times, while at Albert Lea.
Mr.. Blackmer is the son of Lr. Black
mer, one of the leading and most
prominent physicians in that section
of the State, and resident of Red
wood Falls just prior to and after the
Indian outbreak of 1862. Young
Blackmer is blind. Despite this loss
his faculties are wonderful. He oper-
ates typewriting machine with a re-
markable degree of accuracy and
manages his paper to perfection. In
driving through Albert Lea and out
into the country he accurately describ-
ed the streets, named the different
houses, business and residences along
the way, and told about all the inter,
esting points, just as intelligently as
if his eyes had been restored to him
He walks about the streets alone anC
seldom, if ever, errs as to his where
abouts.
Albert Lea is beautiful and pros
porous city. Few cities of it's size car
boast of the magnificent boulevards
drives, business houses, stable banks
magnificent residences, and wealthy
people within the limits of Albert Lea
The growth of the city shows wha
unity of action and push can do.

plants and one of the finest homes II
that section of the State. To get {
peep into his Office would sour thu
most devoted Populist against him
and cause the Populist to cry pluto

H. G.. is doing on that side of tn
fence, anyway?
You have all heard, and most of you

Such a couple was seen on the trair

Waseca county is going to be one o
the banner Republican counties in tn
State this year, if leading citizens Q
New Richland and Waseca are to b
believed. 1t appears that the count
has about 100 Germans, among it
population, and every German is sal
to be a sound money voter. Tw
editors of Waseca and one at Rich
land told me that Waseca would nc
only cast big Republican vote br
that the county ticket would pu
through practically straight.
New Richland is Southern Mil
nesota town that is pushing to tn
front rapidly. During the past tw
years there have been some magnii
cent business blocks erected in tt
town. A town hall that would be

FARMERS residing around the town an
the business men in the town are vel
