The Rapidan Mills correspondent of
The Mapleton Enterprise throws out this
suggestion: 1T is to be hoped that the
nuisance known as road farming will
gave way before the good roads crusade.
The custom of leaving only driveway
and sewing each side of the road to grain
making nesting places for mosquitoes is
an abominatiOn. Some farmers run
bitches along the highways, making the
road dangerous and impossible to turn
out or take advantage of side roads
in case of mud OF snow drifts. 1t is to,
be hoped that our legislators will set
their heads 70 working to better our
roads and turn some of our tax money
over for this purpose, instead OF raising
salaries of office holders, voting subsidies
to private industries or building monu
ments to dead men until the roads are
made passable."

Those present were relatives and few
intimate friends of the family.

Mankato normal school and for some
time past has been a teacher of this
county. The groom is graduate of the
Mankato high school and of the state
university of Minnesota, but is now a
farmer near Vernon Center. After the
ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Fleming drove
to the farm where they will be at home
to their friends.
On Wednesday evening number of
friends of Mr. and Mrs. i. A. FELTON,
surprised them at their pleasant home at
325 Poplar street The evening was

won by Mrs. Nj. E. Jones, the gentle
mems head prize by l. E. n. Griffith, the
ladies' BOBBY prize. Mrs. Richard Jones
and the gentlemen's BOBBY prize Charles

Geo. W. Sugden returned last night
from trip to Canada, going a number
of miles west of Winnipeg. He states
that immigration is pouring into Cana
da at remarkable rate, especially from
the United States. He does not expect
to sec as much speculation in large
tracts of land as was the case last year,
but thinks that there will be as many or
more sales of smaller tracks than last
year, and especially to actual settlers.
There was a foot of snow on the ground
west of Winnipeg, but none in that city. |
The hotels were so crowded that it is
difficult to get accommodations.
