Springfield Advance: J.. Burrell. who
recently sold his farm near Sanborn,
was in The Advance office Saturday
and told the writer that ne expects
to move with his family to Mankato
about November J. where he will per-
manently reside. He expects to spend
the winter in California, and upon his
return will make short visit in some
of the eastern states. Mr.. Bhrrill has
been a resident of this community for
the past thirty-three years.
GAINESVILLE Argus: A. F. Krenger and
family returned last week from Man
kato. About year ago they left
this place and removed to that city
where they rented rooms and sublet
them to students, at the same time
taking boarders. The experience, while
entirely satisfactory, involved much
strenuous labor We think they will
find their coy home here with its
land, its shrubbery, its fruits, much
better and more to their liking. And
besides small town is more enjoy
able than larger town. After the
novelty OF living in a large town is
worn off it's humdrum existence is
harassing to the nervs and dis1uiet
ing to the mind Life will be longer
and better appreciated and enjoyed in
GAINESVILLE.
Albert Lea Standard: The report
that has been given out to the effect
that A. s. Hayes defaulted in the mat
ter of paying over funds that came Of
ficially into his hands for Alphabet
railroad right -of-way, and that his
bondsmen had to make it good seems
to be incorrect and it is due to him
that the matter be set right. His
bOndsmen did not have to make good
the sum due, hut on the contrary he
himself accounted for and paid over
the money and is thus free of all liza
bilty and should be exonerated ac-
cordingly. Mr.. Hayes is living in Min.
neapolis at present but will likely soon
enter the railroad service, in which he
has had experience, and his friends in
Albert Lea will hope for his prosper
ity and success.
lie Sueur News: The Park hotel
owned by NJ. P. Curtis and operated
by him for several years, passed into
| the hands of party at Perham, who
traded 240 acres of land and some cash
for it. The hotel is good property
and has been well conducted by Mr.
and Mrs. Curtis. The reason for re
firing at this time is the fact thai
Mr.. Curtis is in the employ of the
Standard Oil company as an expert
road builder and can not devote hi.
time TO the hotel We understand tn,
deal is to be entirely closed by Sep
TENDER ID and that a new landlord
who comes from Minneapolis, will tax,
possession of it! Just what the plans
of Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis are we dc
not know but hope that they will not
leave lie Sueur, as they are residents
here for many years past and va
cancy that would be hard to fill would
occur should they leave here.
