The Potter Investigating Committee
last week threw out its drag-net at At
lantic City. but it cannot be said that
it has as yet made single haul. The
fact is, that the big fish for whom the
net was spread slipped through its
meshes without an effort; and even
General Butler must begin to realize
that fishing in strange waters is very
Improbable amusement. 1t is not too
much to say that the people at large
have lost all respect for, and all pa
tience with, this investigation, as now
conducted, and its conclusions, what
ever they may be, will have no appre-
ciable influence, one way or the other,
upon popular opinion. Nothing has
been disclosed by it that was not known
before; and as none of the revelations
can at all affect the title of President
Hayes, it is difficult to see why the
committee should not put an end at
once to the useless inquiry. Frank

Some of the citizens of Lac qui Parle

Last spring we suggested the advisa-
bility of establishing or setting apart
one day in each month as market
day. The benefits to be derived are
many, and benefit both buyer and sell
er; the former from the opportunity
afforded him Of selecting what he re-
quires, without travelling miles and
spending valuable time searching for it,
and the latter will also be benefited by
it, as parties wishing to purchase will
make point to be here on that day
for the reasons already given. We
suggested in previous issue that the
18th day of each month be set apart
as s'market day." " and farmers will
remember that by establishing such
day they are benefting themselves.
Therefore. we would urge them to at
tend to it, and on the 18th Of each
month bring in what ever they may
have to sell, it does not make any diff.
ference what it Is, you win be almost
sure of finding purchaser and getting
a better price than if you waited fol
some one to call upon you, for people
travelling are under expense, and they

AS announced elsewhere, our County
Fair is to be held on the second week

AS the harvests is now about over,
we would call the attention of farmers
in this vicinity and also in the counties
tributary, to the fact that it will be
immensely to their advantage to come
to this place to trade and transact any
other business they may have. 1t may
appear to some, that as our interests,
business, and home is here, we would
naturally use every possible efforts to
induce farmers to come here, even If
there were no advantages to be gained
by them. Self-interestS might prompt
such actions, but happily we have the
advantages and benefits which we
claim, and have proved in previous ar.
ticles that it is the best point at which
to trade. We have now two good ele.
vators; three lumber yards, six grocery
and provision stores. four Of which car
ry stock Of general merchandise; three
hardware stores, two drug stores, one
millinery. two harness shops, one fur
niture store, two feed stores, three
blacksmith shops, two carriage shops,
six hotels, one livery stable, two meat
markets, two shoemaker shops, one
tailor shop, one jewellery store, one
barber shop, &c.. We have doctors,
lawyers, agents, &c., and in fact facili-
ties for transacting every description of
legitimate business. Having SO many
and every description Of business houses
and reliable business men, any person
can readily see that it will be clearly
for their benefit to come here, for they
can transact their business promptly,
and competition and an immense varie-
ty from which to select, offer advan-
tages which no farmer can afford to ig-
more.
