The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1898-10-13

Gilbert Anderson was over in the
west end Of the county last week
summoning jurors and says he has a
good solid fence over there that can
not be broken down BY any one. OF
course Gilbert has been good off
Ger and will get lots Of republican
votes, but again we must inform him
that in spite Of all his numerous
friends in our ranks we will elect
Bryan: It's regretted that after he
has field the Office so admirably, and
won 50 much praise from every one,
that he should be supplanted by
repub lican, but such are the fortunes
of politics.
John Sykes left last Thursday for
his home in Illinois. He has been
out here all summer looking after his
farm, which is one of the best located
farms in the county, which makes it
very valuable. While the land is
valuable yet Mr.. Sykes was very gen.
erous in granting the village right of
through his farm for digging a ditch
to fill the lake, without compensation
of course it is benefit to the farm,
but most people demand pay for
granting such privileges. We hope
Mr.. Sykes will he able to get out here
next summer to see what good the
} ditch has done.
