    | Independently owned Bill's Gun Shop and Range is the new owner of the Mills Indoor Shooting and Archery Range in Baxter.
 
 A change in ownership has been an undercurrent in recent months but was without official confirmation other than referring inquiries to check back later.
 
 Now the deal is confirmed with Bill's Gun Shop and Range to open Jan. 1.
 
 "We are excited to add this beautiful facility to our group of gun shops," said John Monson, owner of Bill's Gun Shop and Range, in a news release. "I just couldn't be happier being a part of this great business community and the lakes area."

              | 
                    
                      | After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community.  It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd.  The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting.  Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.  — Alexis de Tocqueville |  |  |
