without grating those who are doing
the work OF organization. The land
CROOK and common Swindler Is SO con-
stituted by nature that he cares
nothing for the success OF anything
of public character unless IL gives
MN an opportunity to pose rs big
me, : to rob some one or to attract at
tentton to himself. In Linton he is the
same common nuisance that he was
considered TO be by four tiftl,s OF his
neiEhborS when he resided In Winona.
Our more or less esteemed co. worker
down the street was sort o. under the
weather along about the fore part of
the week-witl a bad cold and t,e
haved himself quite we'll while indis
posed. But, now that he Is all right
again, 1t will probably bc different. For
you have, gentle reader, most likely
read the old stanza: "When the devtl

But, when the devil was we'll. the

L. b. Montgomery, who came out
recently from Red Wing, Mimi. took
the Milwaukee train Monday for that
city. He went after his family and
personal property, and will soon re-
turn to Linton. The family consists
OF Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. and their two
children. lie has homestead on g.
1874 and purchased a quarter ad.
Joining OH l.l33-75, about seventeen
miles northeast OF Linton. MIR. Mont.
gomery Is an intelligent man and y
practical farmer, with ten good horses
aud other property sufficient to start
right In new country. The Mont
gomery family will be n worthy and
valuable addition to the population
OF EmmOnS county. While here Mr..
Montgomery built house l1xX on
his Homestead. Frank Bell and him
self doing the work.
A gentleman by the name of Jolley
with whom We have not the honor
OF being acquainted was down from
the Hazelton country Monday Which
the said Jolley was chock full of p0liti-
cal Information. Among other sllega-
ti0ns given out to Linton folks WAS the
statement that Streeter was going to
run for the state senate and Jay Eye
RoOp Of Hazelton for the house; and
the gent which his name Is Jolley
said that the gent which his name Is
Roop was making great rustic after
votes for said Roop for the privilege
OF helping to save the state in the big
room Of the blg building on the hill ut
Bismarck. All of which causes us To
arise and remark that either the said
Jolley had been jOllied by some Of the
wicked HazeltOn boys or the gent Is
possessed OF q powerfully jolly imagi-
nation.
Our cross, fault finding contemporary
ought to know that silence on the part
OF newspaper, when contagious dis
ease In mild form il prevailing, does
more harm than good Regardless Of
the newspaper, In these days Of travel
the news goes rapidly from point to
point, and II does not lose strength as
1t travels. Before the Record began
to inform the public as to the cases VI
contagious disease In town. and that
almost without exception the patients
were only slightly ailing. as faraway as
Aberdeen II was reported to travelling
men that NEARLY everybody In Linton
was down with severe form of small
pox." 1t is so natural for Patterson
to lie and cheat and misrepresent that
he takes to 1t from the force Of habit,
even when positive harm results TO
the public therefrom and he makes
nothing by IL himself.
