Farmers Wife.
Mrs. j. G. Klein of the Clifton
house states to her farmer friends
and customers that she was compel
led to rent the ladies parlOr Oh the
first floor of the hotel on account
of being imposed upon by non-pat-
rons of the house; but she has fit
ted up very nice parlor on the
second floor that will be open to all
of the patrons of the house, and all
parcels belonging to the patrons
will be taken charge of by competent
clerks.
Mrs. Klein has had many offers to
rent her barn on Second street for
a machinery warehouse, but she has
always refused to do SO. although it
would be more profitable for her
than it is for the small amount that
she gets out of it as place for
the farmers to feed their horses at
the price that she receives, which is
only 10 cents stall including the
hay, where they are patrons Of the
house, which is very reasonable.
Mrs. Klein has made a home for
the farmers for the past thirty-One
years and is certainly entitled to Il
great deal of credit and also the
patronage of the farmers of Blue
Earth county. She is always ac-
sets a good table and
has always run very respectable
house.
