BY A TBENTONITE- Gene is a handy fellow with a boat and will do well. The Independent Nine B. B. Club, of this place, played against the White Star Club last Saturday the victo ry was honorably gained by the White Stars. Trenton will have no cele bration of her own this fourth, therefore, ye Trentoners will see the sights else where, the largest number as far as I can learn, are going to Esdaile. The bridge between Hartland and Trenton is just fin ished, and those who intend to travel that road will be pleased to learn this. Our strawberry season is at its height, and ev ery one is enjoying these berries as one of God's best fruits. Our crop3 are looking well, and notwithstanding the late spring, and the droughts the wheat is pretty well forward for this time of the year. BLOOMING GROVE, WASECA CO., MINN., He says that a friend told him, "don't you know Ira wants to go to the Legisla ture That may be so and may not be. I believe he has one confidential friend in town. But I should not have supposed that he would have introduced that subject, for I know that he knows that I know who wants to go to the Legislature. This looks very much like the jealousy of a sore-head politician. The fact is, he has been trying to get to the Legislature for a number of years. He has wriggled and twisted every way that his wits could invent to get the nomination, but in every instance has been defeated and used up into chinking. And I have more confidence in the ability and judg ment of the people of this county than to believe that they ever will send J. R. Davi son or myself to the Legislature I will pass over the post office question and notice briefly his third proposition, which is the controversy with Brothers Parsons and Woodruff. Davison knows very well, (if he knows anything about it) that the controversy had no reference to the Deputyship, and it appears to me that when a man resorts to falsehood he is hard pressed for an argument. Now, Jimmy, why don't you come down to solid business Your web of sarcasm is too thin to cover your nakedness. Don't indulge any longer in the delusive hope tJ»*t N 5 8 75 June 26th, 1874. Editors of The Grange Advance: RESPECTED SIRS :—The weather is very warm, being 110 degrees above zero, and even it is most too warm to work, al though we had a very nice rain this fore noon, but this afternoon has been very sul try. Indeed, as I write these lines in the cool of the evening," as it ought to be, it is so warm that I have to stop and fan for there is no breeze. I have heard sever al persons that live in this vicinity say that they had a notion, and a strong one too of going south, for it was not warm enough here, gracious, I would like to feel like those very persons at this moment. The river is coming up rapidly, and in a short time if it continues, we will have to vacate the Island road. Capt. Eames is hauling staves from Ellsworth to Red Wing through this place. Eugene Bachelor boats them across the water from his shop. June 13, 1874. Messrs. Editors of the Grange Advance: The article of J. R. Davison's, published in the ADVANCE in your issue of May 20th, exhibits the most profound nonsense of any article that I ever saw come from the pen of any man that makes any pretentions to com mon intelligence, and were it not that he has switched off on to another track and in troduced subjects outside of, and foreign to the subject under consideration, and inten tionally attempted to make a false impres sion, I should take no notice of it. But as he has willfully and maliciously carried a wrong idea. I would in justice to myself make some corrections. (And I would here state that if J. R. Davison wishes to make the ADVANCE a medium of communi cation, it seems to me that it would be for his credit to subscribe for it rather than use his influence against subscription to.it as he has done.) you ever will fill a "niche" in the Legislature, Jut seek consolation in the honest and faithful discharge of the duties of the office you now occupy, and not as pire to a position the Creator never design ed you to occupy. Be honest with the peo ple, and if you are a real good boy and tell the truth in thi future, we will, (notwith standing you are said to openly and persis tently folate the Postal Law), in the course of a few years, I presume, elect you to the office of Path Master in road district No. 2.
