The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1906-11-14

w. B. Brooks of the Comfrey
Times has grown from a hand-nress
editor to one of the kind that turns
out papers with a printing machine
that runs with crank. Will used
to work in Redwood Falls and per-
haps that has something to do with
his final return to the association of
things that are made to move with
a crank"
There seems to be considerable
counterfeit money in circulation at
the present time, and while there is
not more in Redwood Falls than
elsewhere, there is enough to make
it worth while for everyone to be on
his guard against accepting any of
his bogus money. A dealer had a
counterfeit quarter passed on him
one evening this week, and many
other instances have occurred where
bad money had been passed by inno
cent parties as rule. Passing
counterfeit money is serious
ofense, and it will pay to be careful
about the kind of lucre you handle.
The following from the Echo En-
terprise appears to have a fishy
smell, but knowing something of the
situation as regards water in this
section it may be true: Howard
Hickle says he has heard of some
strange and curious doings, but
when travelling over his route on
Tuesday witnessed a climax to any
thing of the kind up-to-date. This
was when Ole Iverson was seen out
in his corn field with a boat husking.
Owing to a ditching machine work
ing about his farm water had over
flowed a small portion Of his corn
field and Mr.. Iverson was pushing
the boat along between rows of corn
and gathering the crop.
Your stomach churns and digests
the food you eat and if foul, or
out of order, your whole system
suffers from blood poison. Hollist.

Some weeks ago the M. & St. L.
R. R. caused a reduction of the
wheat tariff on this division from
Watertown to Morton. Under the
old rate Fairfax was J cent below
Morton but the new rate left Fair
fax, paying the same as Hanley
Falls, viz, nine cents per hundred.
This of course was a rank injustice
J to the farmers of this section, as
we'll as the shippers. w. E. Pearce,
!, the manager of Crescent Milling
company has been at work endeav-
oring to secure a reduction for Fair
fax, and has at last succeeded in
his efforts and a reduction of J cent
per hundred from Fairfax will go
into effect Nov. Sd, making the rate
from Fairfax 81 cents instead of
9. This will mean a snug saving to
the people tributary to Fairfax in
the future and the entire credit for
the reduction should go to Mr..
Pearce, where it belongs. This is a
strong evidence that the gentleman
has the welfare of the village at
heart
Marshall Messenger: AS Knight
of the Razor, julie Murray stands
forth prominently before the citi-
zens of Marshall, especially with the
older residents whom he has served
with varying regularity for more
than a quarter of a century. julie
is sort of an Handy Andy and
Jack of all Trades, and is an excep-
ton to the old adage that such a
parsonage is good at none, for he
has made good as all round utility
man. If we could catch julie for an
half-hour interview, some mighty
interesting "reminiscences of old tim
ers and old times could be given our
readers, but the trouble would be
that he would tell too much truth,
as he is afflicted with alleged Geo.
Washington habit. AS side issues to
his tonsorial foundries, he has run
: billiard rooms, restaurants, land
deals, nursery stock business, dog
fancying, hunting, etc., and he can
cook a steak, fry trout, or perform
the chief act to perfection. But his
