NEW YORK STORE TO EXPAND
p. c. MorreIl Asserts That He vii
Make New York Store Busiest
Place in County.

Mr.. P. c. Morrell, who has always
been the proprietor Of the New York
store for the last five years is now &C.
lively engaged in operating his Will
mar store. Mr.. Henry Morrell, half
brother of his, was formerly employ
ed in managing this store while Mr..
P. C. Morrell was conducting his main
establishment at Mankato, MINI. He
expects to improve and enlarge this
store rapidly and hopes to make the
New York Store Of Willmar, the bust.
est store in Kandiyohi county. Mr..
Morrell has purchased over $4,000
worth of mems and boys clothing,
shoes, furnishings, hats, caps, etc.
The stock is arriving fast. He is al
ready planning to open up grocery
department and claims that he will
sell groceries cheaper than the mail
order houses ever pretended they
could. The key to his success has
been buying for cash and selling for
cash. This gives Mr.. Morrell the ad-
vantage of being able to underbuy in
the market and to sell for less money
to the cash customers. A square deal
and a better deal are his watchwords
Everybody who knows Mr.. p. c.
Morrell finds him congenial, perfectly
honest, and always ready to make
things right.

ords of some historically interesting
incidents that would fittingly supple
ment the data you have already &C.
cumulated from the newspapers of
said date.
II also believe your research will
establish the fact that much the larg-
er share of said records were COM
municated to the public through the
columns of the daily newspapers, St.
Paul Daily Minnesotian, Chicago Trib-
une and Eastern Publications, by my
father.
"He, notably In 1857, in conference
with the membership of the Kandi-
yohi Townsite Company, decided to
personally conduct lecturing tour
throughout the Middle and Eastern
States; and to add realism to his
word portrayed, he painted on canvas,
to be exhibited panoramically, not on
ly the embryo City of kandiyohi and
it's environing scenic charms in home
inviting presentment of whispering
groves and forests, sky tinted lakes,
and sweetly murmuring brooks in
their meanderings through shady, tree
embowered dells, and necessarily en-
phasizing the main accessory, undul-
ating prairies, swelling in broad
reaches towards the horizon, but also
reinforcing said pictured portrayal of
Minnesota's exceedingly rich unem-
plOyed agricultural resourcefulness
the municipalities, St. Paul, St. An
thony, Minneapolis, WinOna and Red
Wing to evidence the rapid advance
already attained in the progress from
territorial frontierism towards State
hood.
"But, unfortunately, the financial
crisis of 1857 supervened to first
threaten and finally strand this edi-
flying exhibit SO promisingly launched
even in the hour of it's seeming
great success. 1t was a revelation to
the home-seekers of the East of the
realization of their fondest hopes
awaiting their acceptance throughout
the park-like expanse of Minnesota.
"As there was NO charge for admis-
sion to the Exhibit, the expense thus
incurred was to be betrayed by the
subscribers to the enterprise, (many
Of the most prominent capitalists of
the then Territory of Minnesota were
subscribers), but owing to the finan.
cial crisis were unable to make good
their promises to pay"
Later we received from him a most
valuable manuscript entitled "Kandi.
yohi, Fourth Article" closely writ
ten narrative of twelve pages giving
in detail the discovery of the lakes
Minnitaga, Kazota, Little Kandiyohi
and Waconga, (the large exploring
party having made their way from the
Lake Lillian country, and the loca-
ton of three townsites, Whitetield,
Kandiyohi and Swanson. This mar
rative was actually written in this
county by Edw Whitefield sixty years
ago. There is very strong likeli-
hood that the three preceding articles
written on this expedition and the or
iginal sketches made by Ed. White
field on this trip will yet be found in
good state of preservation, and their
publication will be looked forward to
with interest.

Accompanied by a. goodly number
Of rooters, the New London base ball
team went to Belgrade last Sunday
and defeated the Belgrade team by a
score of / to 0. Manley Ogren was
there with bells on, and during the five
innings pitched, allowed but one
scratch hit. Two of the Belgrade boys
got to first base, but one of them, DR..
Slocomb, should have been called out
at home plate. He bunted the ball so
that it fell just in front of home plate,
then threw his bat at 1t, and knocked
it out of line so that it could not be
fielded in time. The entire team did
excellent work and not an error can
be count od against them. In the first
half of the sixth inning, New London
secured two more runs, and there
were two men out and one man on a
base when the game was called on
account Of rain.-New London Times.

Dreiand's Patroness.

The first day of February is the an
ntversary of St. Bride, or Bridget, the
''patroness" of Ireland and of Fleet
street. She was the beautiful daughter
OF an Irish bard, and her story seems
to have fired the Celtic Imagination
Wherever the early Irish missionaries
wandered in western Europe, from Co
logne to Seville, churches or abbeys
will be found dedicated to her honor
and wherever the "exiles of Erin may
migrate the name Of Bridget marks a
woman of Irish race. The spire of her
church In Fleet street has been re-
peatedly struck by lightning and is
now much reduced in height, but re-
mains one of the three tallest steeples
in London.-Loudon Chronicle.

SIXTY YEARS AGO.


This year Of 1916, marks the sixth
e4 anniversary since the exploration
aid first settlement by white men
within the present limits Of Kandiyohi
county. In 1856, the government sur.
veyors had reached this far west in
th1dr work of stalking out the vast en-
pire acquired from the Indians in the
trelty of Traverse de Sioux, and the
to1nsite prospector rushed in with
th4m in order to pick up the choice
locations for towns in advance of the
expected influx Of settlers. 1t is not
my intention to repeat what is so gen.
orally known and what has repeatedly
been published regarding the first set
tiers of the county at Green Lake.
During the twelve years that have
elapsed since the publication of the
County History but little new light
= has been shed on that earliest phase
of the acquaintance of the white man
with the paradise of scenic beauty in
which we live.
The following item, found in an old
file of the Henderson Democrat and
dated May 20, 1856, names the dis
coverers Of Green Lake:
"Messrs. Renville, Reynolds, Ayers
and Heard left here Tuesday, May q,
for the purpose of selecting a mark
ing of road from Henderson to inter
sect the Pembina road at mouth of
Sioux Wood river"
The report of this party on their re-
turn led Jessie Ayers, Elijah Wood
cock, ct al, to come to Green Lake
later in the summer and the latter
made the first actual settlement in the
country in the late fall.
The location Of the Irving Townsite
by the Virginians in 1856 is recorded
In our county history. One Of those
who came to that townsite in 1857
and since has remained in the county,
Mr.. P. H. Parsons, may today claim
to be the first settler of the county
who yet survives to attend these an.
nual reunions Of pioneers. The writ
er believes possible that some little
research among old records at Nor
yantown, Monongalia county, w. Va,
might reveal some details about the
inception of this Virginian colony,
Fhich would be of some interest.
Turning to the exploration of the
Ntginaf county of Kandiyohi, the
sOath half of our present county, in
he year 1856, the writer is happy to
tate that during the past few weeks,
lucky find has been made. In re-
,ent visit to this county of the State
Mcheologist DR.. Warren Upham, to
ascertain the origin of geographical
-.ames of the county, he mentioned
hit he had visited at the home of
Vllfred J. Whitefleld at Sauk Centre,
nd had learned that he was son of
inward Whitefleld, the eminent art
= and press agent, who accompanied

Obi lakes in 1856. The writer at

 For over a half a century Mrs. Hemingway has lived in Plainville where she is held in high esteem. She is a naticve of Harwinton. She is the mother of Tax Collector w. J. Hemingway and Mrs. James Webster and makes her home with the latter.
 Plainville has but one resident old CT than Mrs. Hemingway, Mrs. Phoebe Cowles, now in her 1O2nd year, en- toying that distinction.
