Lyle
J.D.Converse, a very enterprising young man, editor of the Lyle Mirror, is among the new comers of this city. He moved here May 1, 1889, and commenced the publication of his paper; a wide-awake and good Republican, in every way worthy of success.

J.J. While, the popular landlord of the railroad eating house, is one of the most jovial landlords found on the line; is a crank on the subject of building railroads, and entertains his guest with that same chestnut. He is a good fellow and a great joker, liked by all.

By Bill McAuliffe
Southern Minnesota
Correspondent

Minnesota will lose one of its two dinner trains this week when the Star Clipper abandons stops in two southern Minnesota communities.

Operators of the Iowa-based dinner train say they're leaving Glenville and Lyle, Minn., because those stops haven't provided enough riders in the past year to pay the freight.

Chew, chew, chew:

It's the dining train

During a three-hour jaunt along the Cedar River from Osage to Nashua and back, they'll eat prime rib, Cornish game hen and crab Newburg and become part of a new chapter in railroad history.

Lyle farm recognized at banquet

The Lorimer and Sandy Nelson’s Beaver Brook Angus farm of Lyle was honored for its 100-year history of breeding cattle at the Minnesota Angus banquet on March 14 in Rochester.

There are less than 25 herds in the world that have been breeding Angus cattle for 100 years or more, according to a press release to the American Angus Hall of Fame.

Lyle Tribune: The editor leaves on the 3 o'clock train Monday morning for Webster City on a business transaction with W. A. Hutton. We have experienced one of the most peculiar newspaper deals ever before and it is now to come to an end and the paper will next week come out with Grytdahl & McDonald as proprietors and publishers.

Lyle is to have a newspaper soon. The party starting it is from Webster City, Iowa.

There has been a change in the management of the Lyle Tribune, Mr. W. A. Hutton, who has edited it since it started some sixteen weeks ago, having decided to spend the winter in Florida, has leased the paper to Mr. Hans Grytdahl for six months. We with Mr. Grytdahl success in his undertaking.

-- J. T. Gatland, of St. Paul, has opened a printing office here, and will publish a five-column 8-page newspaper, to be styled the Lyle Herald, every Saturday, at $1.50 per annum. We do not doubt but Gatland will succeed, as we are very much in need of such an enterprise here.

Let the Austin papers remember that we are getting quite independent in Lyle, having a paper of our own. The name assumed is Mirror. May its name indicate the work it will accomplish in all that is good and only reveal enough of the bad to act as a warning. We have some things in Lyle that ought not to be reflected. We should have known nothing of the squabble between one of the Austin landlords and our councilman, Peterson, had it not been for the Mirror.

The Lyle Mirror will make its first appearance this week, I. D. Converse publisher. The paper will be printed at the Record office in Grand Meadow for the present. Bro. Converse will continue the publication of his paper at Grand Meadow.

The Lyle Mirror showed up again last week and gives us to understand that it has not gone to roost. It seems that the paper is now printed from the office at Grand Meadow. All we have to say is that the Lyle Mirror is not dead, but it ought to be. Such a paper! No wonder the people of Lyle have been trying to freeze it out.

Burghard Produce in Lyle Closed

The Burghard Produce, Lyle, owned by Fred and Nell Burghard of Chicago closed March 30 after being in business in Lyle the past 22 years.

Eggs in the Lyle area are being picked up by Loren Denisen and Darcy Strouf, then are picked up by the Cambridge Egg co. at Cambridge, Minn. Before the produce closed at Lyle there were 12 employees besides the plant manager, Loren Denisen and his wife, Lola who was employed in the office.

J. T. Gartland, editor of the Lyle Herald, picked up his traps and left for a better paying country. We are sorry that Mr. Gartland failed to succeed, nevertheless, we believe this is a good point for a good paper.

A newspaper was established in Lyle last week and one edition issued. But the publisher, for some reason or other, was dissatisfied with things in general and packed his outfit up and shipped it to some other town. If Lyle wants a newspaper she better turn in and give it a good support.

Lyle is going to have a newspaper, the first number of which will appear the latter part of this week.

We learn that the Illinois Central railroad company moved their headquarters from Mona to Lyle January 1st. The engines and trains are now kept at the latter place and the train hands take their meals at the new railroad hotel.

We are informed that the Illinois Central railroad company will soon move all of their effects from Mona to Lyle. The new engine house at the latter place will be occupied by the Illinois Central company, and the train men will make their headquarters at Lyle as soon as the depot and side tracks are completed. It begins to look as though Mona will soon be a deserted town, sure enough. Mr. Farley evidently knew what he was about when he disposed of $30,000 worth of real estate in that town.
