But Moody was a man of violent likes
and disiikes, and one of the things he did
not like was a billboard, so he may have
been prejudiced. Still. every advertising

tell you that this circus-is-coming-to-tO

Another Big Banquet of the Commercial
Club Followed by Some In
tereSting Talks.
President John Leslie and Henry Deutsch
of the Minneapolis Club Hon
Orary Guests.

Nearly 1875 representative BUSH
ness men of Redwood Falls, mem
bers of the Redwood Falls CONNER
cial club, together with several
guests, sat down to another ban
quet-this time at the opera house
last Monday evening, and after
partaking sumptuously of the big
menu prepared by Mrs. Joseph
Fountain, assisted by Mrs. Fred.
L. Warner, Mrs. w. r. Caswell,
Mrs. 0. W. Mcmillan, and Mrs. N.
b. Andersen. listened to words of
wisdom from President John Leslie
and Henry Deutsch of the Mime
apolis Commercial club, who had
been invited to come to Redwood
Falls and make the principal adj
dresses at this banquet, and give
their ideas of the relationship that
should exist between the clubs of
the larger and smaller municipali-
ties.
The opera house was decorated
beautifully for the occasion. The
National colors were everywhere in
evidence, while at the foot of the
stage, resting on easels, were por-
traits of Washington and Lincoln,
the father and saviour of the coun-
try. The stage was decorated with
palms, behind which were stationed
Tibbetts orchestra OF nine pieces,
which rendered appropriate music
throughout the banquet. The tables
were decorated with pink and white
carnations and looked exceptionally
inviting.

ship Superintendent of School
TO be Elected.

Town clerks and township officers
all over the state should take notice
and observe carefully the laws en-
acted at the last session of the leg
islature, which makes radical
changes in the township govern
ment and in the manner of voting at
the annual town meetings, which,
this year, will be held on Tuesday,
the 9Th day of March, and for which
all annual town meetings must be
posted by next Saturday, Feb. 9th,
the township clerks being held
strictly responsible for the latter
duty.
This year there must be elected q
board of three supervisors, the
same as on previous years, but with
this addition. Que of the super
visors must be elected for three
years, one for two years and one
for one year, and the ballots now
obtainable at The GAZETTE Office,
must explicitly state this fact under
the blank line left for the writing of
the names of each one of the candi-
dates. At each annual town meet
ing hereafter one supervisor shall
be elected for three years to fill the
place of one whose term expires at
that time. This is done with the
view of having two men on the
board always who are thoroughly
acquainted with the needs of the
township and the working Of the,

tating of the county commissioners

some of the best of whom had come
to that city from rural towns of the
state and helped make it what it,
was.
Mr.. Leslie had prefaced his re-
marks by assuring the company that
he had brought with him a man to
talk for him. Mr.. Henry Deutsch
is known to the legal fraternity of
the state, having shared with his
law partner, D. G. Nye, the honor
Of securing from the supreme court
a reversal in favor of ex mayor
Ames. In introducing Mr.. D.. the
audience was given to understand
that that gentleman was not only
young and good looking, but bach
elor. The Minneapolis man rose to
the occasion and proposed as a toast
''Woman-the sharer of our troubles,

future joys He discounted Les

President Gold to club members to

mr.. Deutsch congratulated the
club on its animating spirit shown
at the banquet, and by an easy
transition argued that this animal
ing purpose was in the true spirit
of Americanism as exemplified by
Washington and Lincoln, whose por-
traits adorned the stage. It was
spirit of disinterestedness and
willingness to labor and to struggle,
if need be, for the common good.
Washington and Lincoln had wor-

by its action in Withdrawing

and at about 1880 O'Clock all present
sat down at the tables, arranged in
three lines across the hall. PreSi-
dent Gold of the Redwood club, and
the Minneapolis guests, occupying
seats at the head of the center table.
Assisting at the tables were the
Misses VanCamp, Brosnan, Ell

Thune, Hazel Belt, Lulu,sMortim er
and Myra Essery. After the ban
quetewas over PresidentGold spoke
of the progress of the city under the
directions of the local club, stated
that there was still much room for
growth, and in order to get better
ideas on the way to make it grow,
the two Minneapolis men had been
invited here to give their views.
He then introduced Mr.. Leslie pres
ident of the club, as well as presi-
dent of the large wholesale house of
