|: IWENN-FIvE YEARS AGO !:
The river is falling fast but there is
still plenty of water for log-driving
purposes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith Soule of St,
Cloud were in town visiting their
numerous relatives this week.
A new saloon is going up in town.
We would much rather note the build

Property owners in this village are
engaged in cleaning up their yards
and alleys. Let the good work 20 on
until the last vestige of filth and gar
bage disappears.
The brick foundation of the new
Methodist church is being laid. It is
to be hoped that the means will be
speedily forthcoming to insure the
completion of the structure this sum-
mer.
z. N. Berg has severed his connec-
tion with Jesmer's store and talks of
going into business for himself up on
the railroad. He is hard working
young man and deserves to get along
in the world.
1t costs money and labor to print
duns and make out and mail the same,
and we are not doing it for fun. We
expect speedy remittance from all
receiving their accounts. This is not
dun but simply reminder of what
duns and bills are printed for.
Mrs. Mary Daggett OF Visalia, CAL,
daughter of Auditor and Mrs. Van
Alstein, accompanied by her son, is
here on visit and will remain until
fall. Like her mother, Mrs. Daggett

staunch believer in California.
Editorial.-A pound of -four or
yard of flannel is worth more to
hungry and distressed family than
bushel basket full of theorizing SER
mons. Long-winded, meaningless
prayers will not feed hungry woman
or clothe her half-clad babe.
After a two weeks vacation the
Princeton graded school entered upon
its summer term on Monday with
Prof. Ewing principal, Chas. Dickey

Bridgman Correspondence Jack
Mcdonald, to escape arrest, skipped
town one day last week, after assault
ing Jas. Jerrard. 1t was great pity
that he was not arrested and heavily
fined. However, the town is we'll rid
of him. A few heavy fines for such
characters would soon rid US of their
presence.
The last survey into the village was
completed on Tuesday and it is on
the river bank route. This is the
route that seems to give general salts
faction. In fact we have not heard a
single objection urged against it from
any source. If the wishes of the viii
layers are consulted the river bank
route will be adopted.
Spencer Brook Correspondence
James Hartman, young man from
Pennsylvania, who has been making
his home with George Cline since
last fall, went over to Sank Rapids
last week to get job of carpenter
work. He says an outsider stands no
show for work, that the cyclone
sufferers do not get any money, and
that all the work is done by build
ing association which has it's own
men, handles the money and furnishes
the material at large profit.
