/ From a letter received from Mrs. j.
b. Hogan, of Rochester, Minn.. we
learn that her family is all well and
that Miss Ella Graft still has her posi-

that Agnes is now totally blind and
| has been attending the school for
blind at Fairbult. since last January;
that she is getting along nicely and
in the public schools. She is home on
| her vacation.
Court has come and gone and our
people have had an opportunity to
| size up Judge Monroe. and the result
is a verdict in his favor. 1t is not to
been disposition to ''view him with
a cricket'S eye," seeing that he sue
ceeded one of our own citizens who
filed the place eight years with credit
to himself and the county. but thus
far there has been much praise and
little of critic!sm.-R Russell Record.
1t is a very rare occurrence that a
game of base ball is INDUCED in on
Sunday. But the Ellis boys came up
last Sunday and did so much Dragging
that our boys gathered up nine and
repaired to the ball grounds south and
west of town about seven miles. 1t
was a hotly contested game from
start to finish, but our boys who seem
to be invincible, won the game in the
tenth inning by a score of 25 to 23.
The EllisiteS are lot of chronic kick
erS, and our boys say there is no sport
in it for them and declare that they
will never, play another game with
.them-not even on the Fourth.

pull" 1t was the same person who
sent fifty cents to a fellow in the east
for twelve useful household articles
and received package of needles. He
is a near relative to the man who sent
one dollar to find out how to make
more money, and received a reply,
s'Get job in mint" He is also re-
lated to the man who sent five dollars
to find out how to write without pen
