We had the greatest fall of snow
last week that we have had for the
winter. 1t will delay spring work
somewhat, but otherwise it will, per-
haps, be good thing, as the ground
was quite dry. Many farmers had
planned to have a good part OF their
seeding done by this time, but, as the
old saying has it; "They reckoned
without their host.'' The elements
care naught for our plans. i
G.. w. Miner, who died at his home
Rushmore last week, was among the
first settlers in Ransom. He has been
ailing for some years, and his death
was not unexpected. He was a man
of quiet, retiring disposition, and
consequently was not 80 WIDELY

BEEN; butby thosef who had acquai1
tance with him he was respected for
his uprightness of character.

AT Red Wing there were about 2OC

has always been free. The time is
some place between the middle OF
April and middle of May. The place
extending the invitation has good
deal Of leeway in that particular.
The convention always opens Tues.
day evening and closes with the
Thursday afternoon session. Usually
the trains run 20 this is convenient
time. Where this is not true of the
entertaining city the time opening
and closing is arranged so that the
most sessions can be had with the
least drain on those entertaining.
We find it is always an uplift to the
work in that section of the country,
and as new roads make you 80 much
more accessible than formerly I
thought you might like the blessing
of service that this brings"
B These conventions do not have to
seek place for holding conventions
but give cities in the part of the
states where is desirable to hold a
convention an opportunity to extend
AN invitation.
+ 1t is believed that this convention
would be of great benefit to Worth

the town cannot afford to lose an op-
portunity of advancing it's interest in
every way at this time when every
thing is 60 favorable to it's advance
ment.
