The Mazeppa Tribune
Oct. 24th, 1894
A young son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Andy Scholer on Wednesday last. Here's congratulations ,Andy.
"Nic" has removed the old ice-house back of his saloon, much to the appearance of things in that vicinity.
Several loads of Mazeppa people attended a dance at Grange hall, Friday evening. All seemed to have enjoyed themselves hugely.
Dr. WP. Brown, dentist, of Red wing will be at the Fowler house October 31 and Novemberlst. All work pertaining to modem dentistry at moderate prices.
Fred Dum sold his farm near the Falls to Jake and Wm. Springer for $4200 recently and is now a free man again. Fred came to this country not many years ago a poor man and it speaks well for his industry and the fertility of the ground to be able to do what he has done.
Oct. 31st, 1894
THE MAZEPPA TRIBUNE was founded Oct. 27,1877 by M. Schram, thus entering this week upon its eighteenth year of continuous publication. Some time ago the numbering became change, so that it becomes necessary to make the correction, which is done this week,changing it from Vol. 18,No. 35 to Vol. 18,No.l. Under the present management THE TRIBUNE has prospered beyond expectation, as it now has a circulation of about 200 more bona fide subscribers than ever, it has had, and these have been added in the short space of ten months---a marvelous record for a country paper.
The Republican county convention unanimously selected a Mazeppaite to head their county ticket by putting Mr. A J . Allison on for auditor. Mr. Allison has been a consistent Republican all his life and this recognition of his past services for the party is not amiss. He is making a lively and active personal canvass of the county, which will very likely land him a winner by a handsome majority.
For about eight years past Mr. Allison has been a resident of Mazeppa and in the 1umber business. At this time he is the head of the A J . Allison Lumber Company and by his integrity and pleasant dealing has built up a good business. Mazeppa will vote strongly for Allison. Chester and the surrounding towns will also give him a good strong vote. Allison is gaining ground throughout the county at all the points he has visited and if he receives a majority of the votes on Tuesday none need be surprised.
[Mike's note: AJ . Allison built a house on the property of Lisa Tri]
W B. McCue of Plainview is in town and it is probable he will enter business here if he can make proper connections.
Nov. 7, 1894
John Robinson came up from South Troy to talk politics and get a fresh shave. John always finds plenty of entertainment awaiting him here.
Wabasha County has just witnessed one of the rottenest campaigns in its history - from the conventions to the polls. Let us hope this will be the last of its kind.
The cooper shops are being tom down, one having been purchased by Jake Yotter and the other by J L. Smith. Nearly all of the mill property here has been sold. Another one of our old landmarks will be gone.
(Mike's note: Located west side of walking bridge to the right)
Work is in progress on the boiler house in the park and it is extremely probable that we will have no trouble with the waterworks freezing up this winter. Let improvements of this nature continue.
(Mike's note: Remember? This was the red brick building in
the park where we changed into our skates or would toss the ball over to one another.)
Mrs. J B. Gregoire has been entertaining her sister-in-law, Mrs. William Clemens of Leonard, SD., until recently. Mrs. Clemens has spent considerable time at St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester this fall.
Mrs. Strickland, mother of John L. Strickland of Zumbro Falls, and a sister to Mrs. Parkinson, died last Saturday morning. She was very well known in this section and highly respected by all her acquaintances. Funeral occurred Wednesday. Deceased was over 70 years old. .

Mrs. Andrew G. Larson died at her home, a few miles south of this place, last Saturday morning. She had been ill from child birth but a short time and her death was quite sudden though not unexpected. Mrs. Larson was the wife of Supervisor Andrew G.
