TRANSCRIPT office from S. L. Duffy, of
Porter, Yellow Medicine county, Minn.,

fine quarter section, having lived upon it
for over five years.

—The fine new Masonic hall, which
will be the best hall in the southern tier

—For millinery, remember that Mrs.
G. S. Hildahl has a fine and well assorted
stock, and that her prices are low, and
her goods direct from the east. Her fall
and winter assortment is all that the
ladies of Austin can desire. Give her a
call, and you will make your purchases.
—Capt. Stanley, of Lyle, was in town
Monday. He reports his little town as
booming these days, on account of its
excellent grain market. He says wheat
is being brought there from long dis­
tances, the prices paid being from two to
five cents per bushel higher than at Austin.
—Prairie fires have been nume»ous
during the past two weeks. D. B. Col
man, of Clayton, was damaged more than
$1,000 worth from the effects of afire last
week, while Frank Leach lost 40 tons of
hay. A German in Lyle township, lost
20 tons, and several other losses are re­
ported.
—It is certain that the longer a speech
the weaker it is, but not so with a cold,
the longer it runs, the worse it becomes.
A cold, be it ever so slight, is no trifle, it
should be checked in its early stages. Dr.
Bull's Cough Syrup is the "Balm of
Gilead" that millions say is divine in its
origin.
—The A. O. U. W. is in a healthy con­
dition in more than one sense of the
word. Not only has it full ranks but an
unusually low death rate, only reaching
the number of eleven for the year 1883.
This, with the membership fee, make
the cost of a $2,000 insurance for the last
year $14.
—Mrs. S. M. Boiler has just received
from New York a new line of millinery
goods, and a nice line of attractive goods
for five and ten cent counters. She also
has a fine lot of hats, which are trimmed
to suit, at prices ranging from 15 cents to
$15. Ladies requested to give Mrs.
Boiler a call.
—J. S. Decker and wife are to treat
themselves to a visit to the "old folks at
home" in New Jersey. They will leave
Austin next Monday, and expect to be
gone two months. Chester Decker, who
is home from Barnesville, will "keep
house" during his parents' absence. We
think the home will be in good hands.
—NOTICE.—The annual meeting of the
Stockholders of the Austin Canning and
Preserving Company of Austin, Minne­
sota, will be held at. the office of the Sec­
retary, C. H. Davidson, on the second
Tuesday in January, 1884, at 2 o'clock
p. m. The board of seven directors is to
be elected to serve for one year.
Eooks,
C. H. DAVIDSON, Secretary.
—"The wicked flee when no man pur
sueth." If any one is inclined to doubt
the truth of tins assertion made by Solo­
mon so long ago, let him be stationed
where he can see the proprietor of a
billiard hall when an anxious wife or
mother enters his door in search of a hus­
band or son at an hour of the night when
she ought to be enjoying the repose, that,
underordinary circumstances, follows the
toils of the day.
—We are in receipt of copies of the
Philadelphia Weekly Press and terms for
1884. The Press is unquestionably one
of the best Republican newspapers in the
country, and deserves the patronage of all
who want a first-class Eastern weekly.
We will have copies of the Weekly Press
at the TRANSCRIPT office for inspection,
or you may obtain a sample copy free by
sending a postal-card request to the Press,
Philadelphia, Pa. By special arrange­
ment we are able to offer the Weekly Press
together with the TRANSCRIPT to sub­
scribers, one year, postage free, for $2.50.
—The Board of Trade of Austin is re­
spectfully asked to look into the cause of
our poor grain market. Bassett, Huntting
& Co. are the kings of the Austin market.
Their buyer, Mr. Fairbanks, has no au­
thority in the premises. His acts are
controlled by instructions from head­
quarters. Charley Whitton is obliged to
make peaceable concessions, or B., H. &
Co. would not permit him to earn his
salt. Austin has always been a poor
grain market, and her business interests
have suffered thereby. Why net stir up
the animals a little just at this time, and
see if there be any vitality left?
—Hall & West have been having an
excellent trade this fall. Their complete
stock of dry goods, and uniform low
prices, draw trade from along distance.
They have made special preparations for
the holiday trade this season, and the
public will find themselves well served by
going to them to purchase something
nice and at the same time useful for a
holiday present for the dear ones. In the
line of tidies, silk and linen handker­
chiefs, in fancy colored borders, and
hand embroidered lace ties, ficheaus,
gloves, dress goods, silks, and everything
else usually carried in a first-class diy
goods store.
—We have an elegant line of the fol­
lowing, from which to select your holi­
day presents Fine autograph and pho­
tograph albums, illustrated fjift books,
oems, bibles, histories, juvenile and toy
nice writing desks- and work
boxes, handkerchief and jewel cases in
wood, leather and plush, comb and brush
sets, toilet and odor cases, in great
variety. A fine line of velvet and plush
frames, music holders, scrap books, Ja-
Eanging
anese goods in variety, nice stand and
lamps, fine China, bisque and
majolica goods, and many others.
Jers
CLEMMER & POOLER.
—The adjourned term of court was an
adjourned term truly. A week's business
was boiled down to a day and a half. On
account of the illness of Lafayette French
who was engaged in so many of the cases,
the term was again adjourned on Tues­
day until February, 11, when we suppose
Judge Fanner will hare the pleasure of
christening the new court-house hall.
The distinguished gentlemen present from
abroad were Hons. Morton S. Wilkinson
and Clark W. Thompson of Wells, Law-
Lovely and Toad of Albert Lea, and
N. True of Spring Valley. A new trial
in the case of C. W. Taylor was denied.
The case will be taken to the Supreme
Court.
—DON'T BK FAINT-HEARTED.-If you are
in trouble look up, hold on, give the blues
good-by. If you are in pain, have a lame­
ness, have ah ache of any kind, go to the
druggist and ask him for Thomas' Eclec­
tric Oil.
It
will do you good ereiy time.

CONVENTION.
The convention convened at the court­
room in the new court house yesterday
afternoon, with President C. E. Marvin

It is stated authoritatively that Gen.
Jas. H. Baker, Minnesota's noted orator,
will be present Thursday and take part in
the exercises.
Governor Hubbard had intended to be
present, but sent notice Monday that his
physician did not think it prudent for
him to attend, he having just got up
from a sick bed.
The new court-house hall is a very
pleasant room, and has been made quite
comfortable for the meetings of the con­
vention. However, fears are expressed
that the accoustic properties of the hall
will be found somewhat deficient.
The entries of dairy products in the
fair department already number 20 in but­
ter, 3 in cheese, and 3 or 4 in dairy appar­
atus. In addition to these are several
samples of the products of Engle's mill,
showing the different breaks and granu­
lations of the berry in the preparing of
the finest grades of flour. The Austin
Canning Co. have a pyramid of their pre­
served corn in cans. Then there is a
show-case filled with the beautiful premi­
ums to be given to the lucky winners. It
is expected that a large number of entries
will be made to-day.
The opening meeting last evening was
attended by four or five hundred people.
Rev. Lathrop delivered the welcoming
address, Mr. Houston of Iowa, the res
ponse, and President Marvin of Roches
ter, the annual address. The Austin

—John Minnette returned from North
field last Wednesday, where he has. been
since the 22d of November taking care of
his boy, Thomas, who on that day had a
part of one of his feet amputated as a
result of a railroad accident. It appears
that Tom, who was a brakeman on one
of the night freights, lost his footing just
as the train was pulling out of Northfield,
and slid from an open car of coal between
the cars, one of the wheels running over
his foot. The train was moving very
slowly, and the boy bravely picked him
self up and crawled into the caboose. He
informed the conductor of the loss of his
foot, and requested to be taken back to
Northfield that he might be cared for, not
a single moan or complaint escaping his
lips. Surgeons were called, and the foot
amputated at the joint, leaving the heel
ana apart of the foot, which will give
him quite a support. The boy is quite
young, bein next Februa nr.

—The AUSTIN TRANSCRIPT which is se­
renely truthful on general principles,
claims that a young man with the unique
cognomen of Anderson, of that city,
stands the best show to win the uniform
upon the recent examination at Roch­
ester for the cadetship.—Albert Lea
Standard.
Yes sir latest advices bear us out in
our claim. It is very pleasant to be on
the inside, so as to know about these
things in advance of the public. The an­
nouncement is now made that the com­
mittee to examine candidates have recom­
mended Wert Andenloh, of Austin, first,

Reliable Men, and Men for Business.
We called in there the other day just to
see how they were prospering, and to see
how they looked in their new quarters,
and as we expected, found their elegant
store filled, not only with goods, but
customers.
Their groceries include everything
usually kept in a wholesale and retail
establishment, from butter, cheese and
eggs, to fruits from lands beyond the sea
—raisins, oranges, lemons, nuts, grapes,
figs, spices and candies in large variety
are exhibited, while canned goods and
bottled goods for the table, are exhibited
in quantities sufficient, one would think,
to furnish the whole city. Green goods—
apples, potatoes, celery, etc., are also
made specialties.
For par excellence, when the festive
and luscious oyster is desired, you will
find them in this store altogether lovely.
They coTlar the cake in this respect by a
majority far larger than the Democrats
had in Ohio. Truth compels us to
acknowledge this. We give C. W. Tay­
lor & Co. the first place of honor in the
oysterological trade. So, if you would
have oysters for a stew, a fry, or a scallop,
get some of C. W. Taylor & Co.'s selects.
The new partners, A. H. Loucks, and
J. F. Fisher, have been employed by Mr.
Taylor ever since the store came under
his exclusive management. These young
men have grown up in the business, and
understand every department of it. Mr.
Taylor has given them a thorough trial,
and knowing them to be strictly honest
and honorable, has given them an inter­
est in his business. The public can cer­
tainly trust them.
This store is too well known to need an
inventory of goods published. We will
content ourselves, therefore, with what
has been said, and advise our readers to
call in and see the proprietors of this store,
guaranteeing them fair treatment and
good bargains from either Mr. Taylor or
any of his gentlemanly clerks. The store
is a model of good management every­
body in it understands the business and
attends to its requirements.

Rain Wrought In the Forest.
How depressing it is to see acres of
trees cut down in the midst of a noble
forest. How saddening it is also to see
that thin spot in the midst of your other­
wise abundant hair. Stop it at once by
the use of Parker's Hair Balsam. For ac­
tual efficiency this famous article stands
at the head of its class. Elegant for the
toilet, delicious in odor, and restores the
original color to gray or faded hair. Eco­
nomical. as a slight, occasional applica­
tion keeps the hair and scalp in perfect
order.

EDUCATIONAL
C. D. BELDEN, EDITOR.
LeKoy village schools commenced last Mon­
day, Mr. Edwin K. Cheadle, principal.
It is expected that Miss Addie M. Johnson,
of Lansing, Iowa, will teach the winter school
in Dexter Village.
Mr. Nils Anderson, who has been studying
at Fayette Uuiversity, Iowa, will teach the
Adams village school this winter.
Supt. Belden last week visited Districts 49,
50,57,00 and 86, in Udolpho Districts 93 and
110 in Waltham, also Districts 72 joint aud 36,
devoting one half day to each school.
District 57, Udolpho, Carlos Manchester
clerk, has just ordered anew Webster's Una­
bridged Dictionary. Nearly forty orders for
this book went into the State Department at
St. Paul one day last week. Price only seven
dollars to school districts.
During term time the superintendent is of
necessity, away from his office most of the
time. Mail accumulates during the week, but
his intention is to answer all correspondence
on Saturday of each week. This explains the
delay tbat sometimes occurs.
We notice that in many of our schools the
small scholars are promoted from the Prim­
ary arithmetic in our state series to the Intel­
lectual. This is a great mistake as the latter
is too difficult for such classes and is intended
for mental work with older pupils. There was a
new book introduced into the series last win­
ter, the Elementary arithmetic. This is a
small practical work, and is the text book to
be used uniformly after the Primary Arith­
metic has been satisfactorily completed.
There are now probably more subscribers to
educational journals among our county teach­
ers than at any previous period. This is an
excellent indication. No teacher needs such
reading more than the teacher in a district
school, who is so largely deprived of contact
with other teachers. A good teacher's jour­
nal acquaints the teachcr with the plans of
others in the school room, and gives a great
many suggestions that are helpful and prac­
tical. Our Minnesota Journal of Education is
coming to be an excellent help. Many of our
teachers are taking the Institute, of New York.
No progressive teacher will be without such a
periodical and no one need be, for the price is
Insignificant. It is the Superintendent's de­
sire that no teacher in this county should neg­
lect these aids to school success.
