While the Redwood Excelsior la
dies were in St. Paul last week they
were captured by Secretary Schmahl
and not only shown the splendors of
the capitol, but dined at a high
church restaurant fitted up as
chapel, except for the absence of
prayer books and the substitution of
restaurant signs for churchly le-

Geo. Root has bought out the Sec
ond-hand furniture business of Mrs.
Brooke, and after Sept. 1st will
remove to the store on Third street

Root will be able to extend the
scope of his business by putting all
secondhand furniture in thorough
repair and combining his upholster-
ing and repair work with a general
exchange business in everything
used about the ordinary house. We
commend Mr.. Root to people want
ing to buy or sell household articles
as a thoroughly reliable business
man.
Brother Hodges of the Sleepy Eye
Herald gave the Gazette man an
opportunity to look over the i'm
provements being made in that city
last Saturday. in the way of an
automobile ride. Sleepy Eyes mil
ling and railroad interests have had
the effect Of making such a demand
for residence lots that a number of
new residence sections have been
plated, and bare unimproved lots
are selling at from $500 upwards.
New residences are going up and
the little city is spreading out on all
sides. If Redwood Falls had the
commercial and industrial advan-
tages that have come to Sleepy Eye
almost unsought, it would double in
population and assessed valuation in
a very short time. Nevertheless,
we can't help but think that the
stores and the streets of our own
city. to say nothing Of its natural
beauties of site. largely offset the
money making features Of our
Brown county neighbor.
