by large company of relatives,
who gathered at their home on
Winnebago street to assist them in

wish them many added years of con-

of this county for a great many
years, and they have hosts of friends
who will join in the above wish.
The editors family is fortunate in
having them as next door neigh

better neighbors. Their lives are
full of good deeds, and in doing
kindnesses for all about them. A
purse of gold was left them for a

Every engineering expert and ev-

has examined our line states that
we will have a splendid paying line
just as soon as it is completed int
Owatonna, which is only about
twenty-eight miles from Mortified
