Sleepy Eye Herald: Rev. f. S.
Atwood returned last Saturday
from six week lecture tour in Wis
consin and other points. He deliver
ed large number of lectures and
was greeted by good audiences, all
Of which appreciated his actresses.
His success is gratifying to his Sleepy
Eye friends.
Marshall News Messenger: Do
you realize the fact that in the sew
eral banks of Lyon county the de-
posts amount to Three Million dol
lars. and that eighty-fiv per cent of
the deposits belong to the farmers?
When the farmers of Lyon county
have two and half millions laid by
for a rainy day, with the prospects
of the best crop season in a decade,
there need be little complaint, and
the opportunity for the automobile
agent is fattering.
Granite Falls Journal: We should
take great pleasure in shaking the
hand of Judge Taylor, of st. Cloud,
for the decision he recently handed
down where an old man decided his
farm to his son with the usual under
standing he should be well taken
care of as long as he lived. In six
months time he was obliged to
leave on account of the treatment
he received. He then brought suit
for the recovery of his farm, and
Judge Taylor gave it back to him.
A similar case was before the court
here few weeks ago.

The question as to whether or not it
pays to raise good hogs is fully an
swered to the affirmative by the fol-
lowing from the South st. Paul Re-
porter of March 10th.
R. F. Kirschbaum brought in a
load of hogs from Granite Falls that
was the talk of the yards this morn
ing. The drove consisted of 86 head,
the average weight Of which was 1872
pounds, above the regular yard av-
erage. With the general prices up
Is to 20 cents today the sale of this
lot at $1,000 was no surprise consid-
ering the superior attractivendss of
the swine. Mr.. Kirschbaum fatten-
ed the drove himself and deserved
all the reward he got for making
his stuff so good"
/ Walnut Grove Tribune: After our
experience with the village election
last week, there has developed very
strong sentiment for county option
in this community. Dozens of men
have of their own accord spoken to
US of county option as solution of
this question. The county bears the
burden of the expense, both court
and poor cases, caused by the traffic,
and no taxation without representa-
ton can be counted just. The county
ought to have the right to decide
whether it wants to pay the fiddler
or not. On this ground county op-
ton is the true American principle
of government. The entire county
is taxed to pay the expenses caused
by the saloons, but the county treas
Jury does not get the revenue. The
present is not as alleged local self
government but class government.
Echo Enterprise: A big gather
ing of citizens were treated to an
oyster supper on Saturday evening,
at the expense of D. McCorquodale,
who had previously promised to buy
the oysters. Several persons who
we're interested in the local temper
ance movement also joined in and
furnished cake and coffee and thus
made it very pleasant affair. Sup
