Frank Harrington and family now
occupy the Richardson house at
the corner of Bridge and Mime
sofa street.
Mrs. Young Of Toulon, H., a sis
ter of Mrs. H. F. Buechner, is visit
ing here, accompanied by her chill
dren.
A heavy rain fell last Thursday
morning, following a warm Wed
nesday and clear Thursday night.
The storm was accompanied by
brilliant lightning and heavy thun-
der.
F. G. Kumm closed the purchase
of the residence property of G. W.
Dickinson on Minnesota street last
week, and will take possession at
once. He will build a barn and
i make other needed improvements.
Can'6 we get along without the
cotton wood trees in the city? There
are only few of them left, but
these few were scattering seed far
and wide last week, much to the
chagrin of those who were painting,
etc. We have plenty of elm, ash
and other hard variety trees to give
US sufficient shade, without the
faithful cotton wood of other days.
Springfield Advance: Little An
ma, the adopted daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. J. Ray, suffered an accident
a short time ago which may cost
her life. She, with other children
had removed the wooden cap to a
manhole near the corner of the
Wagner residence, and as past
time the children were jumping
across the opening. Little Anna
joined in with the amusement, but
in jumping she failed to get across
and she was thrown backward on
to large nail which punctured her
skull in the region of the right
temple. Last Thursday the injury
became worse and a partial paraly-
sis set in. The local physicians
| held consultation and decided an
operation was necessary, which
was performed Thursday night
The injury is of such nature, how
ever, that very little hope is enter
tanned for her recovery.
Redwood county census enumer-
ators cannot be too careful in get
ting every person within the coun-
ty on their census lists. In talk
with officials of the census bureau
) at ST. Paul last week it was learned
that nearly every county in south
ern Minnesota, which had sent in
township or village reports COM
plete, was showing big decrease
in population over the census OF
1900. While there may be some
reason for this in many of the coun-
ties that have been heretofore
thickly settled there can be nc
other excuse but lacheness on the
kpart OF the enumerators so far as
Redwood county is concerned. Our
farming lands have been more
thickly settled since 1900, while the
opening of new villages by the con-
: struction OF new railroad lines, has
invited people from outside, and
Redwood county should show a
material increase. To the enumer-
ators, therefore, warning must be
: given that the people of Redwood
; county will hold them directly re-
sponsible for the enumeration oil
) every known resident of the county.
5 It is we'll to state that in some oil
: the more thickly settled counties oil
: other days number of people have
left-have gone to northern Mime
sofa, North Dakota, or into Canada,
) and while few cases of this kind
have occurred in Redwood county
new settlers have come in to take
their places, and other farms have
been opened by other new settlers.
Redwood Falls city promises tc
show a good increase. Let the
country do likewise.
