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

Sanborn Sentinel: The Railroad
company has pulled off one of the
brakeman on the Vesta branch t.
cut down expenses. The switch en-
CINE has also been removed from
here. It is reported that the resi-
dents Of Wabasso will make try
for the county seat at the coming
election. Well, worse things can
happen to Redwood county than
moving the county seat to Wabasso
and the railroad accommodations
are much better.
The Milwaukee road will double
track the Hastings & Dakota diyi-
sion from Minneapolis to the South
Dakota line. The Puget Sound ex-
tension is accumuIating an enormous
business and moving it to Mime
apolis. That a double track across
Minnesota will be necessary to ham
die the traffic is the official determi-
nation. Work will be started at
once at Granite Falls and Monte
video. on grade elimination and new
construction. This work will take
some time and will be the begin
ming. Thereafter this double line
will be completed more rapidly.
Cottonwood Current: The Cot
tonwood ball team went to Granite
Falls Tuesday afternoon for re-
turn game with the team of that
city. but the game was called off by
the Cottonwoodites in the fourth
inning, when Granite refused a
change Of umpires. The umpire
made a number of decisions which
looked decidedly partial to the
Cottonwood boys, who felt that a
demand for fair treatment was no
more than any team would ask for.
The score was / to /. Cottonwood
has won three straight games from
Granite so far this season out of
three games played.
Granite Falls Tribune: The da-
goes at the Great Northern have
been having quite time the past
week. 1t seems that each bunch
elects one Of their number toItake
care of their money and pays him
so much for doing so. A relation of
the treasurer was married about a
week ago and for present he sent
the couple SIS but happened to take
it out of the treasury instead of out
of his own pocket. The rest didn't
like this very well and to show their
feelings burned the treasurer's
clothes after he had gone to bed.
Upon waking in the morning and
seeing how things were he left with
what clothes he had and the bunch
have since been whiting out clubs
in anticipation of their dear treas
erer's happy home coming.
Springfield Advance: The w. C.
I. U. convention held in the Con-
gregational church was well at
tended, delegates being present
from Redwood Falls, Morgan,
Sleepy Eye. Lamberton, Wabasso
and Walnut Grove. Margaret Dens-
more's lecture the first evening on
the subject of Purity was one of
the best lectures that has ever been
here. The second days session was
well attended and many interesting
papers were given. The three
papers which were especially inter-
esting was Mrs. Tiffany's on Jail
Work." Miss Hitchcock's on Evan
gelistic Department" and Miss Rem
