Several from here went to the
baptizing and preaching at Ce-
dar Grove Sunday.

in this section. We've got 'em

happy parents of a fine boy.

broken out of his cloudy prison
and is warming the earth and
making US smile again.
It's about time for another ell
ection, OF course, Col, Brun-
didge is safe, but let's put Mason

j. A. Crabtree has put a new
roof on his barn. John will be

was born.
Rev. G. w. James will preach
at Mt. View the fourth Sunday in

chapters of Revelations. Come
and hear him.
The writer has been informed
that the Reeds Creek nine beat
the Smithville boys nine to two
in a game of ball last Saturday.
Bully for Reeds Creek.
We regret that so much Roose-
veltism has crept into this fair
county. We note that the Cave
City Progress has adopted the
Presidents reform spelling.
Certain streams 10 Sharp coun-
ty have done without bridges
some six thousand years now,
and it does seem to some folks
down in Scott that two years
hence, when the county was out
of debt, would have been the
proper time to construct bridges.
We notice that the scribe at
Reeds Creek tried to say some
thing about US last week, but it
was all riddles to us. However,
Buddie, if you want to get mar
ried, get the girls consent, and
for the first offense III only
charge you a dollar, as you're
young.

st. Paul, Sept 20-The three North
ern roads, the Great Northern, the
Northern Pacific and the 500, have
made a voluntary reduction in coal
rates, which members OF the state
railroad and warehouse commission es-
innate will save the people Of the
state at least 100000 The roads OPP
Grating in the southern part Of the
state have not yet been heard from,
but it is expected that they will be
forced to follow the lead of the North
ern roads and meet the reduction, as
they did on grain rates, which the
Northern roads reduced recently.
The Great Northern on Saturday
filed it's reduced schedule with the in
terstate railroad commission, and has
notified the Minnesota railroad and
warehouse commission informally that
it will reduce the rate. The Northern
Pacific filed it's reduced schedules yes
terday morning with the state commits
sion, and the 500 filed it's application
for permission to reduce rates yesteT-
day afternoon.
The cut made will cover practically
every station on the lines of the three
roads, except between the Twin Cities
and the head of the Lakes
