The weather of October, 1898, will
go down on record as the most un-
settled of any month during the year
Upto last Monday there we're only
five days of the month that permitted
threshing and these we're the first DAYS
Since that time it has been cloudy
rainy, clustering, showing or doing
something else that prevented the
threshers from getting in their work
on the remaining crop. Saturday
and Sunday we're not unpleasant days
but on Monday the sky was again
clouded and there was every indica-
ton of another storm. There is GER
tainly 40 per cent. of>the 1898 crop re-
naming unthreshed.
Tracy Republican: While at Red
wood Falls last Saturday evening, in
company with Bro. Barnes, formerly a
TracYite, we visited the Odd Fellows
lodge there and we're happily surprised
at finding the brothers there so con
veintly and handsomely ensconced in
home of their own. The size of
the hall, if we mistake not, is about
4Ox8O feet divided into hall proper,
dining room, kitchen and ante-room,
each room fitted with its proper para
phernalia. The lodge room is finely
carpeted, and furnished with elegant
upholstered chairs for the officers,
and all the belongings and append
ages are such as we we're surprised to
find outside the large cities. The
lodge there is certainly to be con-
graduated on their enterprise in thus
securing for themselves so comfortable
home in which to fraternize.
