Rebecca lodges. He has excellent
business qualifications, and his sun
shiny temperament makes him uni
versally popular. John sLindman is
well known in Minneapolis, and here
is devoting himself to agriculture and
oWnes farms of 100 and 80 acres with
cultivated fields, substantial buildings,
and good stock. Norgren and Lind
man are individually and collectively
worthy the esteem they have gained
from. all classes in town and country.
Thirty-one years ago Sylvester Gone
and family came to this neck of the
woods from Mortified, where he
located in '62 from Ohio. Sylvester
and his wife have gone to their long
home, and their son, M. S. Cone. is
now prominent in Foreston. He is
boniface of the Cone hotel, and is a
timber contractor, chairman of the
town board, and president of the vii
lage board, and NJ. S. Cone & Co. is
the title of the village pharmacy. The
pharmacist is A. L. Buzzell, who came
two months ago to Foreston, and his
father and brother are pharmacists at
Milaca. Mr.. Buzzell is brainy,
bright, young man, and is becoming
known as dramatist He is author
of the play, Edwards, the Spy" and
| Captain jack" now on the boards.
NJ. S. Cone was, last week, lucky
enough to secure a pine claim which
has at least a million feet Of pine on
Red Lake. That claim will occupy his
attention for some time to come, but
the hotel will be all right under the
control of happy, CHEEKY Mrs. Cone.
In 1881 Fred Neuman, a German,
came to where Foreston is now and
made the wood sound with the anvil
chorus as we'll as the axe. He still
handles the bellows and the hammer,
and has hardware and furniture
store, and is laying by money all the
time. In speaking of. enterprising
business men F. T. P. Neuman is I'M
questionably one Of them. He will
now add to the attractiveness of Fores-
ton by building a two story structure
with iron front and fiat steel roof and
thereto add warehouses and additions.
A. F: Panchot, who came here.
eleven years ago says there will be
great amount of building in the coun-
try this season although there will be
no building of magnitude. He lis
builder, contractor and his own archi-
tect and he looks like thirty but is
fifty-two years of age, and fought for
about three years with Hatch's Mime
sota) cavalry battalion.
John Speeder came seven years ago
and keeps the anvil warm, the two
shops ringing merrily. ..'.
N. G. Dunning, Esq, justice of the
peace and conveyancer, says this coun-
try is in it's infancy, and this is, the
best time to settle down. Bachelors
should not wait for leap year; as they
will be half a dozen years older then
and not so good looking. Now is their
time, and now is the time to subscribe
for the UNION. ....
