In another column viii be found the adj
vertisement of Jonas higgins. He is one of
our pioneer merchants, is noted for his
prompt attention t. business, and still occu-
pies his old stand where he will welcome his
many friends.
WE HAVE iast received from Mr.. Ecker,
whose BUSINESS notice we called attention
to q few weeks since, as neat and snug a
fitting pair OF boots as we ever saw.
TIE NeaD North West comes to us this week
fresh and crisp as ever, accompanied by a
supplement containing the Presidents mes
sage in full. Capt. Hills we'll deserves the
reputation SO nobly Won, that of being the
most enterprising Journalist in Montana.
WE again call the attention Of Changers to
the fact that we desire to complete our
Grange directory as soon as possible. and
hope they will furnish us with the names of
officers elected for the ensuing year as soon
as convenient.
Mr.. HENRY MAYNE, died at Camp Baker,
on the 9th inst. He was an old resident of
Meagher County, having been largely en-
gagged in stock-raising; consequently, his
home has been upon the frontier. His death
was caused by an accident received while
returning home from this place, by his team
running away. His injuries were principally
on the head, and were thought to be SO
slight that he started on home Immediately
after the accident occurred, but on reaching
Camp Baker, was unable to proceed further.
Mr.. NJ. was q brother of Fred. Mayne, of
this place, and Charley Mayne, of Helena,
and, in addition to many friends, leaves a
devoted wife and three helpless children to
mourn his loss.

head of sheep in Meagher County. This is
good. 1t insures a revenue of at least 800
600 for the fleece alone, to say nothing OF
the increase, which not infrequently exceeds
one hundred per cent. AT this rate, the
wool product Of the county will, in the
course of a few years, bring into our midst a
greater revenue than that at present received
from the mines.
GRAIN is still pouring into Camp Baker,
a number of heavy teams having passed
through town this week. We are gald to
see our farmers standing up to their contracts
SO nobly. Designing individuals have been
trying to create the impression that they
are irresponsible, but their promptness this
season, in complying with their obligations
throughout the Territory, has branded their
accusers with falsehood. We feel fully war
ranted in assuring the public that every con-
tract will be filled to the very letter of the
law, reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
WE A taken the liberty to mail the
HUsBANDMAN regularly to a few of our
friends in different parts Of the Territory,
with consulting their pleasure. Such as do
not wish to become regular subscribers, may
turn the paper over to some neighbor, and
notify us, and we will discontinue it without
cost up to this date.
WE have placed our rates of subscription
as low as a paper can be published, leaving
no margin to pay the expense of soliciting
therefore, our patrons are not supporting
the useless extravaganza of a middle man to
travel in splendor at their expense and
make it disagreeable for every one he meets,
in his Persistent efforts to enlarge the circu-
lation of his paper. The middle man, as far
as newspapers are concerned, is wholly TN
necessary. No sensible man needs pay some
wel-dressed gentleman to visit him and tell
