VISIT TO CRESCO.
A Red Letter Day for the Le Roy
G. A. R. and W. R. C.
C.
March 15, 1894, will ever be recorded
m-the* annals of the James George
Post and Corps of Le Roy, as a red
letter day. To the number of about
fifty they boarded the 1:40 train in re
sponse to an invitation from Memorial
Post and Corps of Cresco. A special
car had been provided which was
well, for surely no well disposed
stranger could enjoy peaceful solitude
in the near vicinity of that crowd.
Although getting somewhat miffed
.on the way each seemed to bring up
in their proper place when Cresco
station was called. We were agree
ably surprised to see the manner of
reception prepared for us. Memorial
Post and Corps were drawn up in open
tile waiting to allow the Le Roy Com
rades and Corps to pass through. On
leaving the train, the Le Roy Post
and Corps opened file and Memorial
Post and Corns passed through lead
ing the way to Masonic hall where we
were made comfortable, and passed
the time in social converse and mnsic.
Those who wished, walked about and
viewed the town which had grown so
much within the memory of old
settlers. As the hour of five drew
near we were summoned to G. A. R.
hall where supper was to be served.
As the doors were opened a delightful
vision met our eyes. Two long tables
the length of the room were bountiful
ly spread with Je very
thing that could
tempt the palate or please the eye,
lovely vases of flowers were. placed at
intervals thus forming a beautiful
combination with the sparkling silver
and dainty viands. To describe the
menu is simply impossible, cer
tainly it would be easier to enumerate
what was not than what was there.
The keen irelish mauifested by our
bdys, not to say the ladies left no
doubt of their appreciation of the
elegant repast. Some time yet re
mained between the supper and the
campfire which was improved by many
who knew Cresco in an early day look
ing oyer the town. No object, how
eper. excited more interest and adj
[hirati on than the soldier's monument
set up in the court house yard. If
inaminate stone could become con
scious, that monument must have
smiled at the flattering compliments
paid it. As the hour for the campfire
drew on, comrades and corps ladies
assembled at Odd Fellows Hall where
seats had been arranged for their ac
comodation. Past Commander Dun
gen presided in his peculiarly happy
style. We were prepared to expect a
good time, but such a program of
everything rich and racy is seldom our
good fortune to enjoy. The address
of welcome by 1ST, S. Dungen was re
sponded to by Wm. Haskins of Ches
ter, a member of Le Roy Post. Music
was furnished by a male quarette to
gether with solos by Mr. Miller and
Mr. Baker, who portrayed in song the
perseverance of that cat. A fine re
citation was pleasingly rendered by
Miss Allie Champlain. Our own Mrs.
Shampo was called upon to report the
Smith family which afforded so much
amusement at the campfire atLeRoy,
and Mrs Mason, president of the Le
Roy Corps, was called on for a song.
The post commander and corps presi
dent occupied seats upon the plat
form. Short addresses were given by
Comrade Adams, Revs McCurdy and
Mitchell, also a brave Democrat who
chanced to be present. As train time
approached, the services were brought
to a close by a brief expression of
thanks by C. A. Roy, Commander of
Le Roy Post, and song by entire
audience, God be with you. Too
much credit cannot be given to
Memorial Post and Corps for the happy
manner in which they entertained the
Le Roy people. And yet we have one
more favor to ask, that if in the course
of conversation any should chance to
mention that a relative of Hoke is a
member of the Le Roy Corps, please
state how very distant is the relation
ship, for we are not yet as brave as
the Dakota Democrat though we
hope to profit by his example. In
fact it was a very happy company who
repaired to the depot and were soon
speeding homeward to enjoy hereafter
pleasant memojies of the visit.

The Floral Club Anniversary.
Today is the day set for
anniversary of the Floral C^g|||
account of which we published in our
last issue. We are sure that the occa
sion will be one of rare interest and
enjoyment. The efforts of these la
dies in originating and organizing such
an association is most commendable
and sets a good example to any town
or city that has a desire to establish
a library and yet lacks, the means to
found one. Only the careful planning
of the .work, followed by a perfecting
of all,its arrangements and directed
by some one equal and able to meet
its demands in a spirit of patience
and justice, will make it a success.

with the inherent desire of helping
those around her, she ingeniously in
troduced the study of plant life, which
interested and improved the then
small society, and resulted in lasting
good to the now growing city. For 25
years she has been its president, watch
ing after its highest interests, keeping
its methods of work under parliament
ary usages, and allowing its entertain
ments to be only of the most irre
proachable order. She arbitrates all
disputes and dispels any momentary
feeling among its members. She has
taken her committees to the fair
grounds to do decorative work, and
to other places where desired.
Combining all this with her domes
tic duties, and her church and tem
perance work, she has led a busy life.
State Prison Twine.
We have received samples of the
binder twine made at the Minnesota
state prison and they can be examined
at ..this office. This twine will be sold
the.present season at a price not to
exceed seven cents per pound, and
lower, if necessary, to meet competi
tion of any twine of equal length and
quality that may be placed on the
market, said price to be finally deter
mined by the board of managers, June
1, 1894. All purchasers of twine
previous to that date will be entitled
to the benefit of any reductions be
low seven cents that may be made by
the board. There need, therefore, be
no hesitancy in placing orders now,
as the prices will be adjusted as above
indicated.
All twine sold last year gave un
qualified satisfaction. The farmers
ol' Minnesota, through the establish
ment of the prison twine plant, have
placed themselves in a position to
procure, at the lowest possible prices,
all the binder twine necessary for
their use, without being subjected to
the grinding conditions imposed by
monopolies and trusts. This they
are beginning to fully realize, and
there is no question that the full pro
duct of the prison factory will be dis
posed of the present season. This
twine is made of pure American hemp,
and runs from 520 to 550 feet in
length to the pound, and has a tensile
strength of 85.

Teachers Association at Rose Creek
Although last Saturday, March 24,
was very cold and disagreeable, the
attendance at the Teachers' Asso
ciation at Rose Creek was very
good. Mr. Brown took charge of the
meeting and Mrs. Rounce, Misses
Guinney, Mr. Thompson and Mr.
Wheelock furnished the music. The
program was carried out in full. Miss
Page's class in geography was a prac
tical lesson. It embraced map draw
ing, locations of rivers, cities, regions
of minerals, etc. The subject was
ably discussed and criticised. by Miss
Ellis and Mr. Thompson.
The class in primary reading by
Miss Guinney led to a valuable discus
sion of all methods. The phonetic
method was conceded to be the best.
The paper of Miss Ellis on "My Fa
vorite Teachers" was appreciated by
all, and every teacher formed the res
olution never to be among the indo
lent and uninterested teachers.
The association was closed by a few
words from Dr. Wheelock, after which
the teachers wended their way home,
feeling that the citizens of Rose Creek
are very hospitable, and are very de
termined to make them another visit
next year.

LETTER FROM J. S. HARRIS.
iting Description of the
eof Minneapolis Crab
Apple.'
We are permitted to print the fol
lowing letter received by a gentleman
in this city from the veteran horticul
turalist, J. S. Harris, of La Crescent.
LA CRESCENT, Minn., Mch. 2,1894.
DEAR FRIEND: I take this oppor
tunity to acknowledge the regular re
ceipt of the Austin TRANSCRIPT from
the adjournment of the meeting of
your Southern Minnesota Horticultur
al Society to the present time, which
has contained the proceedings and
papers read at the meeting in full, for
which accept my most sincere thanks.
Mower county is to be congratulated
on having so good a paper published
in it. It is the best county paper I
have seen in our state, and well worthy
of the support of your people, and
that can truly be said of but few of
the patent insides that are so plenti
ful now days. The papers and pro
ceedings of the meeting have been
presented to the people so full and
promptly, and accurate, that I feel to
predict that the influence of the
meeting will be of great and lasting
good to your county, and other sec
tions of Southern Minnesota, by
prompting the farmers to plant and
care for orchards and gardens, and
beautify their homes by planting
shade, ornamental, and evergreen
trees, and flowering shrubs, all of
which strengthens patriotism, in
creases the love of home and enriches
the country.
At the close of F. W. Kimball's re
marks in the TRANSCRIPT of Feb. 28.
he says that probably Mr. Harris for
got the Pride of Minneapolis crab,
which is the case. The tree is a seed
ling of the Siberian crab, =and is un
doubtedly as hardy as the Transcend
ent, but not quite so strong a grower.
It is not subject to blight unless
growing under the most unfavorable
conditions. It is a regular and liberal
bearer. The fruit will average as
large or a little larger than the Tran
scendent, and the season is a month
or more later. The form is round con
ical color, yellowish green, becoming,
grayish when fully ripe. It never be
comes a good fruit to- eat from the
hand, but for jelly, canning and cook
ing purposes is unsurpassed, and it
makes a very good cider and vinegar.
By grinding it with a sweet crab about
half and half, a better cider can be
made than ever comes into our mar
kets. If we had a hardy sweet crab
as productive and of the same season,
I believe it would pay to plant or
chards of them for cider alone.
Very truly yours,
J. S. HARRIS.

meetings are always well attended,
enthusiastic and profitable to all at
tending, Visiting members from
Albert Lea, Spring Valley and other
cities were present- Also Grand Mas
ter Workmen J. E. Porter, of Man
kato, Geo. F. Merritt, Grand Medical

Grand Master stirred up the brothers.
At about 2:30 a. m. the meeting was
closed. All participating- were glad
they were present. Although it lasted
into the small hours of the morning,
the interest kept up to the close.
