A Delhi correspondent informs us
that Thanksgiving services will be held
in the church at that place at 1920
O'Clock that day, and that dinner will
be served in the hall Immediately after
wards. The same also reports that
threshing is progressing slowly and
that it is doubtful if some belated per-
sons will get around to that occupation
before spring.
w. HI. Webster was engaged in NOV
ing the stock of The FAIR from it's
pinched quarters so long occupied by
Mr.. Webster, to the large building on
the corner of Second and Washington,
lately occupied by Dunnington's groc-
cry store. The Fair is thus able to show
off its many fine opportunities to a
greater advantage. The holiday stock
of the store'is just now being opened.
Some of the genuine winter weather
has been mapping around this section
during the past week. The coal men
laugh in their sleeves, while the coal
consumer rustles for the finances neces-
sary to meet the demands of the coal
dealer. If winter is really upon us, as
it seems to be, it will be great deal
earlier than it has been for number of
years past, and it will be long winter
unless the break occurs in February,
as many old weather prognosticators
are kind enough to predict.
According to the Los Angeles Ex-
press the Minnesota people in Califor-
MIA have recently got together and Or
gained. The people from this State
now residing in the Granada of Amer
lea number about 1000, according to
the report of the temporary organiza-
ton. The report of the latter also shows
that Samuel Sickle of Santa Barbara,
formerly of this city, where he ran a
drug store in early days, was elected
one of the vice-presidents of the organ
ization. Mr.. Sickle is father of Mrs
w. A. Hubbard, now residing west of
this city. Capt. NJ. J. Daniels of Ro-
chester and J. K. Moore of st. Peter,
! both well-known here, are on the list
of vice-presidents. The annual meet
ing will be held in February when the
temporary organization will be made
permanent.
Monday was hog day in this city.
Emil Schmahl purchased 675 head of
hogs, and distributed nearly $4,000
among the farmers of Redwood and
| Renville counties, as the result of his
purchases. Long lines of teams at
tached to wagons loaded with the pro-
duct of the swinery, came in from the
four points of the compass, some of
them coming from near the Milwaukee
road in Renville county, some from
Morton and east of that point, and
some from as far west as the Great
Northern and others from near the
south side of the county. They were
purchased on the narrowest Chicago
margin, and in the evening of that day
they left for the Chicago Stock yards
over the Northwestern system. Short
ly after the shipment Mr.. Schmahl's
Chicago commission house, Tomlinson,
Stafford & Co., notified him by wire,
that previous consignment had
brought premium price on account of
their excellent appearance in the yard.
On Tuesday Mr.. Schmahl received sew
eral hundred more hogs and shipped
them to Chicago. His prices are so
high that other buyers in neighboring
towns ask him to buy their purchases
at his own price, and both purport to
make money as a result of the sales.
The Journal of last Monday states
that G. A. Pillsbury made an estimate
that calls for a net p, 100000 bushels OF
wheat in farmers hands to sell on the
crop year. This total is based on Mr..
Pillsbury's estimate of 1O7, 800, 900
bushels as the amount raised on the
last crop. There are now in farmers
hands, Mr.. Piilsbury figures, $4,000, 900
bushels of wheat. of which he allows a.
