of the Angels Church.

Just before going to press last
Thursday the Herald received word
that the marriage of Miss Rosa Knoll
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew

of Sank Centre in Melrose township,
and Michael Ciminski, of Royalton,
had been solemnized that morning at
nine o'clock at Our Lady of the An

velopments proved that the announce
ment was premature as the event did

officiating. The bride was attended
by Miss Carrie, her sister, and Miss
Mary Ciminski, a sister of the groom,

TROUBLESOME AUTO TRIP

DIR. and Mrs. Lawrence 'lsgrlgg left
in their Chevrolet car at 2:25 p. m.
last Saturday for Donnolly, Mimi, to
visit the lady's brother. They arrived
at their destination at 1870 o'clock
Sunday after many trials. The roads
were fine until just this side Of Nor
ris, when they received little warm
ing of what was to come by striking
a ftw mud holes which they thought
were dad" But between Morris and
Donnolly they struck "gumbo." Said
"gumbo" has got in on any kind Of
clay for sickness and the car had to
be pulled out nine times between the
two towns named. The last seven
miles of the trip were made with q
team" escort. The car was driven by
its own power until they reached a
bad place when the team pulled them
through, then the power and so on.
This seven miles was made Sunday
morning after the Sank Centre people
had spent the night in hteir car, which
was stuck in DOGGY place, quite q
distance from any farm house and ON
ly after the Doctor had got his feet
wet in vain attempt to find a better
place to sleep. Thty passed innumer-
able cars that were stuck in the mud
and according to their story it was
"easy pickings" for the farmers along
the route as the autoists would pay
almost any price to be extricated. Mr..
and Mrs. Isgrigg arrived home Tues
day morning and the Doctor says he
viii never kick on the roads here-
abouts again. He says he didn't
know what bad roads were till he
struck that "gumbo."

REACHED RIPE OLD AGE
George Blakesly, Resident of Sank
Centre Since 1877, Dies at the
Advanced Age of 80.

Early Monday morning occurred
the death of George Blakesly of Sank
Centre. The funeral was held at his
home in Hoboken Tuesday. In the alb
sence of Rev. Duel, Rev. Anthony of
the Episcopal church, read the burial
service. Intrement was made in the
family lot in Oakland cemetery. The
G. A. R.. service was used at the
grave in connection with the Episco-
pal service.
Mr.. Blakesly had reached a good
old age, lacking only one month of 80
years. For a year or more the de-
ceased had felt the infirmities of his
years, and, although not sick, was un-
able to leave his home for any dis
lance To the very last he managed
to walk in the yrad and was in bed
only three days. He was patient and
lowing and kind during his weakened
condition, not wanting to give his
dear ones extra trouble. His friends
delighted in calling on him, and he
appreciated all attention and kind
ness shown him. -.
Mr.. Blakesly was born in Goran,
Ontario county, N. Y, July Is, 1926.
He enlisted for the Civil war in 1862,
and served one year when he was dis
charged ON account Of disability. So
speedinly did he recover from his in
juries, and so anxious was he to fight
for his country, that he again enlist
ed early in 1864 and served till the
close of the war. He was at Apo
matox when Lee surrendered and like
all the old soldiers enjoyed recounting
his experiences. In 1877 Mr.. Blakes-
1y came to Sank Centre, where he had
his. home ever since. For 20 years
he has lived in the home in Hoboken
where he died. Mr.. Blakesly has been
an honored citizen and those who
knew him best in the days of his ac-
4ivities unite in saying that he had
not an enemy but was beloved by all,
both old and young.
The deceased married his present
wife Is years ago and his declining
years were made comfortable and
happy through the loving care given

NEW ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.

The Herald has just completed and
turned over to City Clerk Cooper a
loose leaf ledger system for keeping
the accounts of the city in systematic
and convenient form. The plan was
devised in the City Clerks office and
is entirely different from the system
used by any other city so far as is
known. The ledger is divided into
three distinct parts, the General fund,
the Observation-Disclosures fund and
the Miscellaneous fund. Under this
system it will be possible to tell at a
glance how much has been expended
during given time in each of the the
funds and for what purpose and the
balance in each fund. 1t is a strictly
modern method of doing business and
should save the officials IAN immense
amount of work.

Word has been received at the state
capitol of the death of Henry Feig,
formerly state supervisor of county
elevators. His death occurred at st.
Peter hospital, where he had been the
past year. Mr.. Feig, whose home was
at .Atwater, represented his district in
the legislature three terms and was a
valuable member. He was an uncom-
promising Republican and stumped
the. state on numerous occasions in
behalf Of the candidates of his party.
Friends have sprung a new pros
pective Republican candidate for gov
ernor. He is Charles Haupt of Otter
Tail county, former United States dis
trict attorney for Minnesota. Mr..
Haupt at one time was prominent in
the political game. He practically con-
trolled Otter Tail county. Mr.. Haupt
is now located at St. Paul, where he
is practicing his profession.
Senator Frank Glotzbach of Rice
county is now connected with the in
ternal revenue department. Frank was
a candidate for postmaster of his
home town, Faribault, but finally gave
way to the pressure brought to have
him retire.
In the event that Secretary OF State
Schmahl gets into the gubernatorial
contest, it is said that James A. Lar
son, his chief deputy, will endeavor to
succeed his chief. Representative
Bjornson of Minneota has his eye on

would make a pretty fight. Down here
Larson is considered as having the
best of it in the event of such a con-
test.

held to be void by Judge Michael of
the Ramsey county district court, has
been taken to the supreme court for
a final test. Friends of the measure
in looking over the house records COW

to have discovered few things that
will cause a reversal of the lower

There is a wealth of wholesome hu.
