The lecture on "American
citizenship" to be given by Rev.
t'r. Cleary at the opera house on
Decem Der 10 will be one of the
literary treats you cannot afford
to miss. The lecturer is recog-
nlzed as one Of the most pleasing
and accomplished orators in the
northwest, and the subject is one
that is of deep interest to every
patriotic man or woman, and as
handled by Father Cleary it will
prove protita bic as well as enter
tanning.
An important business deal
made in this town last week was
the sale by D. E. Rourk of his in
terest in the general merchandise
stock Of Patrick & Rourk to his
partner, T. II. Patrick. 1t is not
learned what the consideration
was. but it must have been con
siderable as the firm carried an
immense stock. The Enterprise
is sorry to see Mr.. Rourk sever
his connection with the town, but
his interests passed into first
class hands. Echo Enterprise.
The members of the Court of
Honor, on last Friday evening,
organized a surprise party upon
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Pew, jr.,
and Mrs. A. r. Kuehl, mem bers
of the local lodge, who are about
to remove from Milbank. Mr..
and Mrs. Pew expect to move to
Minneapolis in the course of d
week or two where Mr.. Pew has
accepted a position as book
keeper. Mrs. Kuehl also goes
away to Litchfeld Mimi,
this week. The gathering
was held at the Pew home and
a most enjoyable time was had.
Andrew Shuman, who lives
five miles northeast of here,
came to town with a load Of po
tatoes last Saturday, and while
at the Emanuel scales the horses
started forward without warn
ing, throwing Mr.. Shuman back
ward from the load on to the
scales. The man was rendered
helpless for a short time by the
fall, and was taken into A. p.
Lindquist's office and DR.. Jacotel
summoned. Besides some bad
bruises on the head Mr.. Shu-
mans neck was sever ell y
wrenched and gave him much
pain, but we understand he has
about recovered from his acci
dent.
A fire in the barnyard at the
home of Mrs. L. Won Valid last
Monday just before noon threat
ened to spread to the barn, and
the fire alarm was sounded. Hap
ply the fire was extinguished by
a bucket brigade before any par
ticular damage was done, the
side of the barn being slightly
scorched. An attempt was made
to lay hose from the corner OF
Main street along Fourth avenue.
but there was not hose enough
to reach to Fifth street, and d
fire started in the vicinity Of the
school house would be free tC
rage, as no protection could be
secured from the present facil
tiles to stop a blaze. This should
be remedied by the purchase o.
hose, aud later by the extension
of the watermains.

! Comradc n. |. Lowthian, o1
Gen. Humphreys post, G. A. r.
is interesting himself in a pro.
Ject to secure a G. A. Il. mOnu
ment IN Milbank. His thought
is to place the matter in the
hands of the local post and
W. h. G., to make a canvass for
subscriptions for individual con
tributions, and thus make the
enterprise one in which every
citizen IN the county may hay
an interest. A statue of UniO.
soldier, life size, an approprio
pedestal, in all IS feet high, N;
of white bronze, can be secur
for about $1,000, and the &C It
house park has been sugges ID
as a suitable place for it's
erection.
The esthetic is commencing
to occupy larger sphere in
American life of late years. In
the large cities, both by public
appropriations and private do
nations, the parks have been
beautitied with works of art
innumerable, to delight the eye
and inspire and instruct the
mind with the beautiful in
sculpture. Even the smaller
and less wealthy communities
have also grown along this line,
and have erected statues and
monuments of historical charac-
ters and events, that serve as
enduring lessons in national life
and patriotism, and it is a well
established truth that these
communities are richer in the
higher sense for the things of
beauty which they are attempt
ing to cultivate.
AS the years 90 by the story
of the rebellion, the heroism of
the union soldier, the sacrifice
he made, the hardships he en-
dured, the glory of his triumph,
and the everlasting debt of
gratitude which the American
people owe to him as the pre-
server of the nation, is becoming
more thoroughly recognized and
appreciated. A monument in
every hamlet in the land COM
memorating the service and
patriotiom of the union soldier
would be potent instructor in
civic virtue.

Letter to H. E. Fitch.
NEKOOSA, WIS.

Dear Sir: Your business is, wher
house burns down, to give the owner
some money to build new one. 1t is
a good business. Queer that the
world got on SO long without it.
We paint the one that burnt down
and the new one too. What is better
we paint the houses that don't burn
down. You insure the houses that
burn; we insure the houses that
don't. You have the ashes and
smoke; all the houses are ours
We paint ready paint: Devoe. We
sell the paint to painters; we don't
paint.
Lead and oil is old-fashioned paint
Devoe is good paint-things ground in
with the lead and linseed oil: the best
paint in the world: and the cheapest
because the work is all done by ma
cbinery. Nobody wants poor paint
there's lots of it, though, in the
world. Good Paint, Devoe is sold by
A. II. Kleberg. Yours truly,
