Wears Farmer Clothes
A. H. Bonnstetter, democratic candidate for the office
of representative from Kossuth county, was in town Wednesday
getting acquainted. We couldn’t help but wonder if the
overall that he was wearing were what might be termed campaign
scenery. Back in the bygone days Dave Henderson used to stump the
Third district wearing a peg leg in the place of the one that he
lost in the Civil war. But Dave never wore that peg after
election. -Luverne News.
