of years ago. Mrs. Lindholm for
merly lived in Mankato. They will
reside here, as soon as a suitable
place can be secured. The location
of the laundry here will be OF
great benefit to the village as well
as to Mankato. Six helpers will be
engaged in the start and the corner
which has been without perma-
nent business since the death of Mr..
Rolf will no doubt be made one of
the busy places of the community.

! The village council did not hold
meeting Saturday evening as several
Of the members were out OF the VII
Ilage. A special meeting may lie
called soon, as it is desired to fix
rates and adopt an ordinance gov
erning the private connections and
use of village water. This must be
done before any connections are
made, and Ought to be acted upon
1 as early as possible in order that
house connections can be made be-
fore the ground is frozen. 1t will
7 mean much to the village to have
! the revenue from water as early as
possible. The water system may be
complete and ready to be operated
| in less than two weeks. No reason
exists why the rates and, ordinances
necessary should not have been act
ed upon and everything in readiness
as soon as the water is in the
mains.

were held at the Methodist church
yesterday. Rev. c. A. Sharp deliv-

Both sermons were well received.
A meeting of the stewards will be
held at the church this evening.
Plans for next year will be con-
| sidered this early SO that the bust
ness end of the church will be well
in hand by the time of the arrival
of the new pastor.
Master Rexford Sharp and his sis
ter Rubie left this afternoon for
(, Centerville, Mich, the home of their
grandparents, where their parents,
| Rev. and Mrs. G.. A. Sharp, will

Much has been said about the
scarcity of houses to let in North
Mankato. 1t is really a misfortune
that people looking for houses in
the village must be disappointed
because there are no houses to rent
1t is a daily experience that citizens
are asked if they know of ANY va
cant houses and the reply is invari-
