A pastor on the Marshall district
writes: "Rev. L. L. Hanscom, our
presiding elder, is very popular for

heard was released only upon three
appearances. His praises are upon

The Redwood County Agricultural
society is preparing to make county
exhibit at the State fair, and is now
engaged in collecting agricultural
products for that purpose. Farmers
having No. / articles of the different
products are requested to assist in
making the display a big success, and
those having good wheat, oats, barley,
etc., are requested to put away bun
die or two so as to keep possible rain
from it before it is threshed.
At the last meeting of the board Of
county commissioners it was estimated
that the expense of running the af-
fairs of the county for the ensuing
year would be $2l, 500, of which So 500
was for salaries of county officers,
$500 for district court expenses,
$1,7OO paid to the sheriff, clerk and
register of deeds for fees, $500 for
light and fuel, 81 200 for county print
ing and stationery, $500 unclassi6ed,
$1,000 for roads and bridges, $1,000
for county poor, and $500 for rail-
road bonds and interest. The amount,
for which the commissioners have au-
thorized tax levy, is $1,000 less than
last year, and with the reduction Of
our bonded debt each year, the
amount is likely to grow smaller, un-
til the average expense runs to about
$4,000. In ten years our tax levy
should be comparatively small.
