 People who use Cole street respect fully request Superintendent Hotch- kiss of the street department to have the road roller make a. few trips over the crushed stone spread on that street so as to make it passable for man and beast.
 The street department is doing a fine job on Grand street, but some of the wise heads think it practically throwing away money to go to such ex- pense with a street that probably will be paved with vitrifed brick next year. 1t will cost couple of thousand dollars to get the street in proper shape the way it is being treated and supposipg it does have to be torn up in twelvemonth it.will be worth it. There is nothing else to do with the money and 1t could be spent in places where it would not show to as good advantage.

O IN those days, the Northland was Fl \ region of exceeding great peace, quiet, and harmony, and had been thus ever since the time it passed from under the rule of the Grea: White Bear to that of the Eagle. Forasmuch as the forests and rivers did greatly abound in fish and game, the dusky na- tives had never known want, and their white brothers added to this. tho know ledge of the worth of useful and pre- cious metals, which they digged from the ground And the fame of these riches spread abroad; even to the utter most parts of the earth
 q And from all quarters did come, men of might and valor; men who held the chiefest of crimes to be cowardice and ingratitude, whose household gods were honor and hospitality; whose cabins were never left without the latch-string hanging outside. And they builded towns along the banks of the Great River which drains the mighty North west, and upon the branches thereof. And the memories of men, not yet old, delight to recall the good old times when the sound of the pick by day, and the guitar by night, made glad the the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to be of the Pioneers of Circle ami Fortym;le.
 z And in lh. honest simplicity cf their hearts they wist not but that these good times should last forever. tor they had no thought or knowledge of the coming horde of cormorants, wl.o were even now filling their carpet-bags with doughnuts while Satan looked on ap- provingly.

! The ladies of the Excelsior
club OF this city were invited to
attend the seventh district fed.
GRAFTON of women's clubs at
OrtOnville June 9th and 10th.
Those who could possibly do
SO accepted the invitation. The
occasion was thoroughly enjoyed
by all. The reception at the
Columb bia hotel was a delightful
function, and the ride up the
lake Friday mofning was a very
pleasant outing The large boat,
the FLYER, which carried the
club women, was escorted by
another boat, the Diamond, con
tanning the band, which rem
dered fine music all the way
In the way of club work the
reports, roll calls, addresses,
etc., interspersed with selected
readings and music, made the
convention one to be remem-
bered with much pleasure. 1t
was indeed a "feast of reason
and a flow of SOUL
The picnic dinner which was
partaken of after the boat ride,
was perfect in it's way; all sorts
of delicacies were, generously
provided. The ladies of the
Ortonville clubs can certainly be
recon mended as ideal hostesses.
The ladies Of the Excelsior club,
which has the distinction of be-
ing the only literary club in
Grant county, are unanimous in
expressing their appreciation Of
all the charming courtesy and
attention they received on that
occasion.
