AROUND THE COUNTY.
Items Of Interest Taken from the
Country Papers.

two comets this year, two crop
scares, two dozen late frosts and |
various other things, besides the
drouth, but Notwithstanding the
hull" business this section Of Min
nesota will reap a much better than
average crop in everything but small
grains. If there's any other place
on earth that is SO well favored year
after year well. we're from Mis-
souri,.
We regret to hear that there were
three cases Of infantile paralysis
at Sleepy Eye last week and scatter
ing cases in other towns in this
state. All pains should be taken to
guard against an epidemic such as
exists at Mason City and other Iowa
town. In the interest of public
health. too much pains cannot be
taken in carefully isolating possible
cases of this disease. which the med
zeal fraternity finds exceedingly
puzzling everywhere.
Candy News: Capt. Pointon is of
the opinion that the automobile will
solve the problem of keeping the
boys and girls on the farm. and
Cap. knows a thing or two about
that. The new tangled thing is a
distance annihilator. and when a
farm twenty miles away from
town is within half hours ride, it
is just little better to be on the
farm than in town because of the
ride. And the captain is probably
right in his prediction.
Morgan Messenger: E. HI. Blanch-f
ard came up from Lewiston Friday
and remained until Sunday. Mr..
Blanchard was here during the
threshing on his farm. The yields
were as follows: 2235 bushels of
wheat. Velvet chaf averaged ~
bushels per acre and blue stem ~.
The oat yield was 1882 bushels. bar

Bird Island Union: The Granite
| Falls Tribune wants to know what
Renville county is going to do with
| the Louis Hill silver cup awarded to
lit for having the best roads. The
cup will be placed in glass case
and given a prominent position in
our magnificent court house where
/ our citizens can gaze at it and swell
up with pride oyer our good roads.
"Put." also says that the price OF
the cup should have been invested
| in ''split-long drags," meaning split
LOG drags it is presumed, which is
another error as our split log drags
made it possible for the county tc
win the honor. We have plenty OF
drags but the trouble is that they
are but seldom used to an advantage
on our highways.
st. Peter Tribune: The Treadwel
: home on Washington avenue will b
