WHY TOWNS GROW.
Have Men of Push and Energy Who
Back Confidence.

The reason why some towns grow
is because there are men Of push and
energy in them, who are not afraid
to spend their time and money TO
boom their town. They erect good
buildings, organize stock companies,
establish factories, secure railroads,
work for public improvements and
use every means in their power to
induce people to locate in their city.
Wherever they go they tell of the
advantages of their city, they write
about them in every letter, they send
circulars and newspapers to all
whom they think they can get to
visit the city, and when anyone visits
them they treat him SO well he falls
in love with them and their city at
once. It's enterprise and everyone
pulling together that make a pro-
gressive town and don't let the fact
escape your memory, says an ex-
change.
To hear every person saying some
thing pleasant about it's people and
and easiest way to make a town at
tractive to a stranger. One of the
best ways in which to make town
attractive VIII LudL SOTL OIL dllrdc-
lions that will draw other people to
it is for every man and every woman
to have a pleasant word for the peo-
pie and the town generally.
Talk up your town if you would
have it do we'll. Talk up your town
If you would have others come to
you. Talk up your town if you
would feel an interest in it, and have
its people feel an interest in YOU
There is no better way to do it. And
many time one little word of un-
pleasant reference to something that
does not exactly suit you, and not
particularly concerns you as to that
matter, will turn a good mans in
fiuences away from your town and
may even drive him away. At your
own fireside, talk up your town.
Among your neighbors, talk up your
town. When you come in contact
with strangers, talk up your town.
And at your own fireside, among
your neighbors, and in coming in
contact with strangers, talk up the
most potent agency ever set in mo-
ton for ever helping your town.

For several years it has been re-
ported occasionally that a herd of
deer was infesting the counties of
southwest Iowa and doing damage to
crops and that, owing to the game
laws, the farmers were unable to kill
them. 1t has always been regarded
as a joke, but last week the farmers
out there actually appealed to the
state game warden for special per-
mission to kill them. There are said
to be from 800 to 500 in the lot

Married Fifty Years.

Morton Enterprise: The fiftieth
anniversary of the marriage of Mr..
and Mrs. George Martin of Beaver
Falls was celebrated at their home
last Tuesday. The worthy couple
have been residents of Beaver Falls
during all these years and their
friends and relatives concluded to
bestow some token Of esteem in
which the old couple are held in this
section of Renvilie cotnty. by con-
gregating at the old home on that
day and presenting them with tokens
of gold, and many we're the articles
given them. The time was passed,
as is the usual custom of old Beaver
ties, in relating the early history of
the county. Mr.. and Mrs. hubert
Martin of White Rock, S. D., and
the Herb Baldwin family of Red
wood Falls and Mrs. Carrie Elfrink.
were the outside relatives in atten-
dance.

NEW MAN AT
THE kAHLER
Hotel Leased for Long Term
and the Kahlers Will
Take a Vacation.

i. w. Tust of Winona will be
Mine Host at the Kahler Hotel after
next Tuesday. when Mr.. and Mrs.
Kahler will turn over to them the
management Of the house by three
year lease. with privilege of extend
ing the same. Mr.. Tust has been
in the business at W;nona, and comes
well recommended. Mr.. and Mrs.
Kahler haye fairly earned a long
vacation. after many strenuous years
of catering to the travelling public.
and the condition Of Mr.. Kahler's
health made his retirement an ur-
gent necessity. All of the movable
furniture and fixtures of the house
have been sold to the lessee at fair
price, and the rental of the prop
erty will be sufficient to support the
owners in comfort. We understand
that they plan to visit their youngest
son Roy of Granite Falls when they
leave here. and will probably travel
more or less when the season is
farther advanced.

Morgan After Electric Juice.

Monday night comforting with BUSH

current from Redwood Falls with a
good deal of favor, and yesterday
Mr.. Albrecht of Morgan was being
shown over the plant here with a
view of learning more about the
capacity of the plant for furnishing
reliable and up to date service.
That the inspection was satisfactory
may be taken for granted, and we
look to see the sister towns of
Redwood Falls and Morgan joined
together with hooks of steel-or
copper not many months hence.
Councilman Hilig and Werring were
also over inspecting the plant last
week.

MANKATO JURY STILL AT IT.
Smith, After Testifying, AbandOns New
Trial Idea and viii Try FeuuOns.

The last word from Mankato con-
corning the proposed re-arrest Of
Mrs. Ledbeter was to the effect that
the grand jury would probably be in
session the rest of the week. 1t is
reported that an attempt will be
made to have a re-trial of Mrs. Led
better on the ground that the trial
judge and Mrs. Ledbeter's principal
counsel were closely related, hence
that her acquittal was the result of
mis- trial. thus rendering her liable
to another trial on the same charge.
Another plan is to have Mrs. Led
better tried on the charge of being
an accessory to the murder of her
husband. The fact that the attor-
neys for the defense did not raise
the point of the relationship of the
Judge with Mrs. Ledbeter's counsel
may weaken the claim for new
trial. Meanwhile, nobody seems to
know where Mrs. Ledbeter is, ex-
cept her attorney. who declares that
she will come if required by court.
The rumor of an appeal being
made by Frank Smith for a new
trial is denied. Smith admitting that
NO one is ready to furnish the money
for the costs. He is now talking
about getting his sentence com
muted through petitions to the state
pardoning board.
