He went there yesterday and will
move his family there as soon as he
can get house.
The report of the death of Mrs.
Ezra Odell came as shock to friends
here where she was raised and was
known as Lolita Hotchkiss in her
girlhood. Some time last fall she,
with her husband, passed through
here where they visited several days
with friends on their way to the
coast. She was very lovable lady
and will be missed by all .-Granite

Morgan Messenger: A band of
gypsies camped in the valley last
Sunday; who were of no use to the
farmers. They went from house to
house begging for money and some
thing to eat, telling fortunes, etc..
and what they could not beg they
would take. Chickens were killed
right before the owners and taken
to the camp. At last a few of the
farmers got together and drove
them out. The gypsies then went
south and camped near the Butcher
school house.
Tracy Herald: George E. Dutton
of Sycamore, H., has completed the
purchase Of the Lake Sarah Stock
Farm, better known as the Hunter
& Able farm, located about fourteen
miles southwest of Tracy. This
farm comprises about 1900 acres
and the purchase price was SOL 900.
The new owner has taken possession
of the farm, together with all the
personal property on it at the time
of sale. Mr.. Dutton is vice-presi-
dent of the Citizens State Bank of
Tracy. and this purchase increases
his holdings of land in this vicinity
to nearly 1000 acres.
Ortonyille Herald Star: Some
statistical fiend has figured it out
that the average cost per mile for
running an automobile is 10 cents
and that every duck the sportsman
kills costs $3.50 and every fish he
catches $3.50. These figures are in
teresting and probably accurate but
there are others. For instance your
first baby costs you close to $1,000,
your religion 10 or Is cents for each
sermon and your home paper less
than two cents per week. while any
office you may get politically costs
you SIS for every 81 in salary you
get out of it. Oh you figures.
Lamberton Star: A telephone
message from Milroy Wednesday
morning informed the editor of the
death of Harley Dysart, the oldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Dysart,
residing near that place, Tuesday
evening from infantile paralysis. He
was only sick three days and the
skill of two physicians could not
stop the ravages of the dreaded
disease. Harley Dysart was young
man highly honored by all who knew
him and bright future was before
him. The many friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dysart sympathize with them
in their hours of sorrow.
Hanley Press: Madison, our neigh
Dor city to the west, voted in sa-
looms recently and Saturday was the
opening day. An eye witness re-
ports to us that as a saloon opening
it was a regular stem-winder. In
many respects it rivalled the Chi
cago hay market riots. Drunken
men and boys all day long crowded
the women shoppers off the streets
and the profane brawling and scrap
ping became so frequent that at
eight o'clock the mayor ordered the
saloons closed. 1t was estimated
that Dawson contributed nearly
hundred thirsty citizens while Boyd
half that number to the wetting
down demonstration. Madison's bet:
ter citizens ought to feel proud of
this.
st. Cloud Journal-Press: Word
comes from st. Paul that the big
breweries are already sending out
instructions to their agents and
to the saloon men under their con-
troll throughout the state. to fight
the election of S. Y. Gordon for
