be great. accomm cd alton to the pub.
lie IT. the creamery as we'll as the store
would put up some hitching posts. :.
Mr.. and Mrs. Engberg visited at Fors-
berg's last Sunday. Wonder if the
Gazette reporte got struck by the tick
ling comment the TRIBUNE editor gave
US two weeks ago. Will say again
that there are two old Gazette. report
ers and anew one; (who clearly gave
himself away last week }; so we made no
mistake. AS to reading the Gazette
items from here thrice, will say that
one reading completely takes away
the appetite for it. Some from here
attended the silvermedal contest in
Atwater Saturday evening. They say
it was'the best one.they ever. heard. :.
May Quist read her essay on -the,sub-
ject IA Defense Of the Drunkard''
through the phone Sunday"evening.
All who heard; it say it'was an excel
lent'' paper. =. John Wicklund and
family visited at Albert Wicklund's
Sunday. We are.pleased to learn
that our storekeeper, Mr.. Engberg,
has bought lot and will build another
store, as the old one is too small for
the big lines of stock he carries $3.50.
Aug. Pearson's 3 teami took runaway
with the drag last week. -. .Hilmer

lily were guests at Erick Lund's last
Sunday. "A social will be given at
the home OF A. Broman Thursday for
the benefit sof.. the M p. ! Church. E,y-
ferybody cordially invited. I'VE are
pleased to note he"general change in
methods of farming now from former
years. More interest sis taken in d.
yersified crops. Twice7as much corn
is raised now as ten years ago. The
COW and the hog have. formed a CO.
partnership with the farmer to help
him pay his store bills and lift the
mortgage from his farm. .. Bravo
to the good citizens off,; Willmar for
the stand taken on the liquor que ,tion.
Keep 1t up; drive the rumseller from
your door forever. Your city will be
more progressive, your homes bright
or, and there will not be 80 many dark
pages in your history in the future a.
In the past. On accou at of the cold,
backward spring the grain seeded has
been rather slow in terminating, and
the wind storm of last week swept
bare q good deal of the seed. II rain
does not come soon much of the seed
will die.
