says the Sanborn Sentinel. The
worthy gentleman gained several
pounds by reason of the surprise.
Editor Eaton of the Morgan Mes
senger says they are going to build
cement side walks in that village
i the coming season and will be thor
oughly up-to-date by having them
colored. Nelson Bros. Paving and
Construction Co. will do most of the
work.
Granite Falls Tribune: Willmar
is soon to lose its Great Northern
division which will be removed to
Sioux City and the Breckenridge
division will take it's place. It's
about an even swap for Willmar
and no other town will be affected.
The Milwaukee division at Monte
might, with profit to the company,
be brought down here, but the
Tribune will probably never be con-
suited if the change is made.
Morgan Messenger: H. B. West
will leave next week for Platteville,
Wis, where he has secured a posi-
ton with the Platteville Witness &
Mining News, weekly newspaper
issued at that place. While at
Platteville Harry will study under
DR.. Ed. D. Schoffman, a Chiroprac-
tic doctor of that place. The Mes
senger joins in wishing him success
in his new undertaking. Henry
Friedrich Of Gibbon will fill the
vacancy of Mr.. West as typo.
1t now seems that northward the
course of empire takes it's way. The
Cottonwood Current states that on
Tuesday of last week eleven cars of
machinery, ETC., were shipped to
Hanley, Canada. Thirty-one people
from our little city and neighbor-
hood e"lbarbed to seek homes and
fortunes in the new land, and in a
number of years these same people,
perhaps, will tell of their exper-
fences in expressions similar to the
early pioneer, who located in this
country in an early day, and who
now have the finest farms and
homes.
Lake Benton has gone dry that
is fguratively speaking. The News
says: Henry Enke was fined $50 and
costs for selling a key of beer since
the election. Mr.. Enke is agent for
the Minneapolis Brewing company,
and sold the beer from the cold
storage, billing it at the depot to
Peter Peterson at Verdi. The new
law is very explicit on this point,
tho Mr. Enke got the impression
some way that he had a right to
continue to sell intoxicants by bill
ling them out. Since the decision
the stock of liquors has been trans
ferred to Tyler, which will here
after be used as their distributing
point.
Recently minister gave his def
milton of a Christian gentleman, as
one who paid his bills and took good
care of his family. The St. Cloud
Journal Press takes exception to the
statement, citing John D. Rookie
Teller as a man who does as the
minister mentions, but doesn't be-
lieve he is a Christian, because the
claim is made that he robs the pub
lie, brushes competition and is dis
honest in business. The Journal
Press says: He stands as the ideal
type, however, of many church
members of many business men
who are church members. They pay
their debts and take care of their
families and prey upon the rest of
the world. No action is too cruel,
no deception too deep, no lie too
big, so long as it brings in money,
money, money. Widows and or
phans may be beggared, business
associates bankrupted, taxes evaded
by perjury, and yet their credit is
of the best, and their homes made
beautiful with the treasures despoiled
from other homes. Christian char
acter means more than being good
to owns own and ones self. It
means absolute honesty, clean life
and love for God and our fellow
men. The home should be the most
sacred place on earth. It should
never be desecrated with dishonor,
dishonesty or deceit. When the man
