the Northern bird hunters to
visit our county to enjoy them
selves in our quail fields. These
gentlemen always come prepared
to pay for courtesies extended

of our farmers who otherwise
would not realize any advantage
of their partridges. Messrs.
Richard Deeves, Thomas J
Dunn and James Brule, of New
York, are here now at the St.
Cloud hotel, going out each
morning to hunt.
They Exchanged Positions.

time has had charge of the card
ing and spinning in the Cannon
ills, is now superintendent of
the Bala mill, which place has
heretofore been filled by Mr.

tne Cannon mills.
