l.. S. Henderson came over from

during the illness Of her sister, Mrs.

j. j. Huse, the Winona merchant,

ter-in.law. after brief illness dat
ing back less than week. Mrs.
Frederick was taken ill on Thursday
of last week with what she sup.
posed was an attack of la grippe,
but the usual remedies failed and
she grew rapidly worse. By Mon.
day her condition had become of
such grave nature that a consulta-
ticn of physicians was held. but even
with combined medical skill the bat
tie was futile one. Pcrtonitis
with other complications was the
cause Of death.
There are perhaps very few peo-
pie living right here at home who
realize the tremendous movement
there has been in farm lands during
the past few months. 1t is not of.
ten that farm lands continue to move
briskly during the winter months,
but this winter seems to be an ex-
ception TO The genera! rule, and dur
ing the last four or five months
more than four thousand acres Of
land in the immediate vicinity of
HaZelton has changed owners.
Please let that soak in-over 1000
acres, representing in dollars, by
actual figures the magnificent sum
of $l28 $4,000
