A couple of men, who from thei,
appearance were judged to be "tour.
ists," made themselves very obnox
ious at the residences of Samuel

The Worthington hotel was closed
last week. This is piece of proper
ty built by the S. G. & St. P. R.
r. Co. in the fall of 1871, and is a
part of the system of hotels the COM
pany built at the different points
along the road, the first being built
at St. James, then one at Worthing-
ton, then one at Sibley and we think
one at Sheldon. The old house is
badly in need of repair and renova-
ton, and to make it again first
class country hotel will require the
expenditure of good deal Of money
Nowadays hotels in the country
must be pretty we'll kept to draw
trade. Twenty years ago almost
anything was first-class, but the first
class landlords Of that time are keep
ing 1871 houses yet.-Windom Re-
