The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1910-12-29
twenty-five YEARS AGO


Princeton needs and must have q
frst-class -four mill. .........
Mrs. Henry Webster and her bright
little son, George, continue to visit
with their numerous friends in this
village.
Among the few from distance at
the installation ball we're Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert J. Faussett of Milo. Bob
and his bride are fond of each other
and they don't care who knows it.
Editorial.-The regular annual
Minneapolis charity ball is just be-
ginning to be talked about. A chari-
ty ball is an affair where the patrons
spend the principal part of their
money on their own toilets.
Bro. VanWormer of the Cambridge
Press is on his ear and has COM
menced to publish the names of de-
linquent subscribers. Serves the
deadbeats right. A deadbeat is
entitled to no consideration whatever.
Sidney Cravens came up from Min
neapolis and spent Christmas with his
parents, and he made his mother q
present of $40 in greenbacks. A boy
who respects his mother as Sidney
does will make his mark in the world.
The young wife of Rem Morrill, re-
Gently died at Anoka after q short
illness. She was only 20 years of
age. Morrill, works in the woods in
the winter and drives on the river
every spring. He is we'll known in
Princeton.
Bright and early this morning S.
M. Byers walked into the sanctum
and planked down the necessary
" filthy lucre" to square up all in
debtedness and pay for his card and
subscription for the next year-1886.
That's promptness.
There is some talk of a new rum
shop in town. To a disinterested OBJ
server it looks as though there are
more saloons in Princeton at present
than there is any demand for, and
certainly the proprietors of neither of
them are growing rich very fast.
A few individuals swilled more beer
than was good for them at the brewery
on Christmas day, and their behavior
was not such as to win the admiration
OF orderly citizens. However, on the
whole, it was very quiet Christmas
in Princeton-business was generally
suspended and the day was observed
in becoming manner.
One of the incest and most enjoy.
able weddings that it has ever been
the good fortune of the scribe to
attend was that of Chester Ames and
Miss Minnie Young at the residence OF
A. A. Love, in this village on Christ
mas eve. Judge Keith conducted the
marriage ceremony and looked more
dignified than we have ever seen him.
Up to yesterday the weather has
been drizzly and disagreeable, but
yesterday morning the thaw caught
a slight cold again. The last vestige
of snow has disappeared. Reports
from the lumber camps are very dis
couraging. Unless there comes some
snow and cold weather soon the log
cut on Rum river will fall a long
ways short of the estimate of month
ago.
Bridgman Correspondence The
Christmas tree at the school house
was we'll attended. Before the candles
were lighted vote was taken by the
ladies on the homeliest gentleman
present. Hen Webster received one,
A. D. Jesmer two, C. T. johnson
seven and John W. Cater eight. Mr..
Cater, having the most votes, drew
the prize, beautiful but very diminu-
tive pair Of mittens. The editor of
the Union was not present.
