The men who do a town more
harm than good may be classed as
follows: Those who oppose i'm
provelnents; those who run it down
to strangers; those who never ad-
vertise their business; those who
distrust public spirited men; those
who show no hospitality to anyone;
those who hate to see others make
money; those who oppose every
movement that doesn't originate
with themselves; those who put
on long faces when a stranger
speaks of locating in their town;
those who oppose every public en-
terprise which does not appear of
personal benefit to themselves

the Sibley House museum at Men,
dota by Josiah Edison chapter of
this city was brought to Mendoza
last Friday. 1t is one of the first
piano, that came into the State; its
keys have turned a deep yellew by
age, and its strings have been
thinned by the worm of time so
that the sounds are but a faint
suggestion of their original uses,
but it is relic of the first white
mans coming to Minnesota. A
tablet will be made containing a
short history of the first owners of
the piano and this will be attached,
with the name of the donors, to the
instrument. --NOrthfeld News.
To those who have more than a
plenty, more will be given. The
Weyerhausers, who have more
wealth than the average man can
comprehend, have discovered a
richness of iron ore on their land
in Guyana range. which will pile

owned that land there wouldn' t
have been iron within a hundred
miles of it.-St. Cloud Journal
