estate disposed of three quarter sec
tons of land last Thursday. Frank
Gress of Berlin, Wis, purchased a
half section, consideration $55 per
acre. Mr.. Bunamun also from near
Berlin. Wis, purchased a quarter

We understand both of those gentle

Margaret Lee, known as the
"chicken incubator baby" has
thrived in the incubator and will
be returned to its parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. E. M. Lee Of Mankato. Little
Margaret seemed to have a slender
hold on life when born and as no
baby incubator could be procured, a
chicken incubator was brought into
use with such success that Marga-
ret is already decidedly chic infant.
New Ulm Review: Rumors of
serious financial difficulties in con-
nection with the Sleepy Eye Milling
company have been current through
out the county for a week past, but
to just what extent the big plant is
embarrassed cannot be ascertained.
Sleepy Eye people are very reticent
in talking about it and insist that all
the impending troubles have been
smoothed over. From other sources
comes another story. A meeting of
the creditors is known to have been
held recently and expert accountants
are now at work on the books.
Morgan Messenger: The many
friends of the F. E. Davidson family
will regret to learn that they have
decided to leave Morgan perma-
nently. Mrs. Davidson and daugh-
tiers, Lillian and Margaret, left Mon
day for Valparaiso, Ind, where they
expect to remain for the balance of
the winter at least. Mr.. Davidson
will remain here for a short period.
He has not definitely decided where
he will locate. The Davidson family
have been residents of our village
for eight years and have gained a
wide acquaintance and many friends
and the best of wishes of the Nor
gan people go with them.
Sanborn Sentinel: Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Fields were given a complete
farewell surprise at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. F. E. Gleason on Tuesday
evening and a large company of
friends gathered. Whist was the
game of the evening and Mr.. Field
leaves town with a good record with
the cards. Mr.. and Mrs. Fields
were given a set Of silver tea spoons
and several pieces of china for
which they are very thankful. A
midnight meal was served that was
enjoyed by all present, after which
the guests departed wishing the
Fields all the good luck that can
come to them in their new home.
Springfield Advance: The Farm
ers Heimath" on Redwood street
was closed yesterday, the license
having been revoked by reason OF
the proprietor having sold liquor to
an habitual drunkard who was on
the black list. On Tuesday morning
the proprietor was arraigned before
Justice Semans on a charge of hav-
ing sold liquor to the blacklisted
party and he entered a plea OF
guilty. The minimum fine of $50
and costs was imposed. which was
promptly paid. The law governing
such illegal transactions as the sell.
ing of liquor to a blacklisted party
is such that it also revokes the liquor
license.
