Milroy Echo: Sunday afternoon,
in company with Rev. Kenderdine,
the editor visited the S. S. Gale home
in Gales, and we are glad to note
that Mr.. Gale is improving and is
expected to gain rapidly. He has
been under the weather the past

Lamberton Star: Banker Sawyer
of Revere, while in the city Monday,
was telling US that some parties
south of that village, in Cottonwood
county, were hauling in and selling
their corn at that place for 63 cents
per bushel. They had a good yield,
which at present high price is net
ting them about S35 per acre. 1t
pays to farm at the present high
prices for everything the agricultur-
list raises.
st. Peter Herald: Major R. l.
Holcombe of St. Paul, member of
the commission appointed to take
up the proposed improvements at
the Fort Ridgely state park. came
to St. Peter last Sunday and on Mon
day drove to Fort Ridgely with
County Surveyor H. w. Daniels. 1t
is the purpose of the commission to
build an iron fence about the park
site and to clean up the grounds,
the sum of $500 being available for

The Inter-Lake Tribune editor says
that he don't like to knock" on any
part of the northwest, but neverthe-
less the prospects at present for
crops in the Browns Valley country
are far ahead of those of the oyer
doomed Red River Valley. He states
that the Red River Valley is fiat, and
an unusual amount of moisture puts
the crops out of business. Just at
present between Fargo and Wahpe-
ton there is much water standing on
the fields and grain is turning yellow.
A man is a success who has made
happy home for his wife and child
rem. No matter what he has not
done in the way of achieving wealth
or honors, if he has done that he is
a grand success. If he has not done
that. and it is his own fault, though
he be the highest in the land he is a
most pitiable failure. l wonder
how many men in the mad pursuit
for gold which characterizes the
age, realize that there is no fortune
which can be left their families so
precious as happy home.-Ex.
