the Dunkard meetings which
have been in progress for two weeks.
Herbert Blaisdell went to st. Cloudfor

Several OF our citizens go to st. Cloud for
feed, as it saves them from 80 to 81 on

if you can buy your wares cheaper in
Iowa or Chicago than you can in st.
Paul or Minneapolis and do not do it,
we would like to withdraw our patron
age from such selfish individual monop-
olists to the extent that you would be
compelled to quit the business you ssare
in and go at something that would
elevate you out Of such old fogy ruts.

| which is worth telling During the
sermon the minister saw fit to give
secret societies a severe roasting, the
Masonic society in particular. Among
other things he said he knew all about
them and that they were rotten to the
core. Immediately after the sermon a
man who belongs to the Masonic order
gave him the grip Of the order and he
did not recognize it. Now this might be
all clear to person belonging to the
order, but to man who knows nothing
about the order it is funny.

The Dunkard revival meetings came to
an end last night. Two ministers from
Waterloo, Iowa, conducted these
meetings. The minister's, Beaver and
Miller, .endeared themselves to many
while here and our opinion is that a
lasting impression was made on many
OF our citizens by them. While many
OF us differ with them in nonessential
matters. Il few differ with them in
matters which portray the apparent
downfall of Christianity. Even a care
full observer might misquote them from

the evening before town meeting day,
and came out home to attend said meet.
ing. No one had attended the regular
town caucus in Edwin's interest and
when the opposition TO the caucus re-
modelled the--tickct, Edwin's name was
not put on for an office. On town elpc-

Truant boy, with d laughing eye,

Happy, thoughtless, truant boy,
But When the votes were counted it
was found that Edwin stood a tic with
the best man OF the other two who were
cunning for assessor, and when the town
board settled the matter legally, Edwin
was the lucky one. T he Herald's
correspondent would like to say to YOU
Edwin, that while he did not vote for
you, he admires your courage DO NOT
mistake school boy luck Tor political
merit, and use the office Cor the dollars
there may be in 1t. but rather try by
your work TO please vour constituents
thus paving the way, step by step, to
something higher and nober.. In the
words OF Ella Wheeler Wilcox:
Cease wondering whence you came.
Stop looking for faults and flaws
Rise up today in your pride and say
| am part OF the first great cause
However full the world
There's room for an earnest man.
