Mrs. Copeland owns some real estate

R. Pirideux and his brother in law
H. Stevens made us short call
last week. They had been looking
over their farms here in Ransom,
and Mr.: Stevens had picked a few
specimens of fine large corn on his
land, which he proposes to take to
Wisconsin when he goes back there.
In the part of Wisconsin where he
lives, the corn was all but a total
failure on account of the drought,
and he wishes to show his frineds
back there what kind of corn we
can raise here in Minnesota. Mr..
Stevens is railroad man, and when
he wishes a vacation he finds Mob

place as he knows of. We are al
ways pleased to see Mr.. Stevens for
he is a worthy gentleman, and one
whom to know is to like and respect.
