Monday morning the entire stock of general merchandise owned by C. F. Thorbers of Sparta and managed at this place by P. J. Tilton was taken over by E. E. Reitan of Red Wing, Minn., who will conduct the business under the name of the Security Mercantile Co. of Lindsey. Ed. Hahm, an employee, is retained as manager assisted by Geo. Graham of Red Wing. The gentlemen bid for a generous share of trade and assume the public that they do business right.

The R. N. A. will give a leap year dance at their hall at Nasonville, March 15th.
