AROUND THE COUNTY.
TENS Of Interest Taken From the
Country Papers.

Country Papers.
Q. L. Dornberg came down from
Redwood Falls Monday, and with
John Garlic and H. D. Fixsen start
ed to work on Redwood county ju-
dlcial No. 2, reports the Morgan
Messenger. These gentlemen have
been appointed as viewers of said
ditch.
Morgan Messenger: Cashier j. C.
jackson is now the proud possessor
of a fine 30-horse power Peerless
automobile, which he purchased at
Mankato. Scott. chauffeur of
Mankato, drove the machine to Nor
gan Sunday evening. j. C. went to
Mankato Saturday and returned with
the car.
Hutchinson Leader: An old farm
er tells us he has completely killed
out the weeds along the roadside
around his farm. Three years ago
he scattered timothy and clover in
the weed patches. Now the weeds
are all gone-choked out-and this
year he made several tons of fine
hay where they once stood.
An exchange, referring to Jacob
sons proposed automobile campaign
ing, makes the point that the plan
will place him under no obligations
to the railroad and absolutely indie
pendent of their timetable, and
that it will enable him to see more
pie at each point. This auto stop
the scott of the opposition on that
head.
Window Reporter: It is reported
that sporting clubs and private par
ties have leased the entire shore line
at~Heron Lake, so that during the
coming season it will be practically
impossible for the public to get in
there to do any duck shooting. 1t
has become quite famous resort,
and farmers adjacent to the lake are
said to make more lucre from the
sale of hunting privileges than they
can from raising grain.
Russell Anchor: 1t seems that the
county political fight will be conin-
ed to the county commissioners to
be elected. The so-called political
machine appears to be lining up to
secure the defeat of O. H. Hatlestad
in the First district and j. N. Jones
in the Third Commissioner district
1t will be remembered how these
gentlemen fought to have each COM
missioner district represented on the
county printing. The two men are
nall over the county as fighters
in the interest of the whole county.
Granite Falls Tribune: About the
poorest argument that a candidate
for any office can make is this old
tlme-worn story, so often sprung,
that the candidate needs the Office
for the support of his family or the
payment of his debts. There are of
course instances where from lack of
health or by reason of misfortune
the office-seeker is in position to
make this argument with effect, but
IN most cases it is a confession of
weakness, of inability to succeed in
other lines. It may be laid down as
a rule, with rare exceptions. that
one who has been unsuccessful in his
own business is not proper person
to entrust with public duties.
This is the way Auctioneer Nc
Even does things over in Renville
county, as told by the Hutchinson
Leader. The Leader states that Mr.. |
McEwen usually mounts a hayrack
and opens with burst of eloquence
something like this: ''My friends,
we have seen our glorious Renville
county in her infancy. Now let the
child spread her sails and be waited |
to us over the seas at the top round
of the ladder. With our right hand
resting in the footprints of time,
let US press ever onward, ever up
ward, well knowing that, tho dead,
our glorious pluribus unum shall
not perish from the earth. Er tn
Brute, requiescat in pace, Erin go
bragh! We will now proceed to sell |
