Last week the editor Of the Banner

The Banner man was informed of
this, and went to III. A." and begged
50 piteousIy for him to reconsider bis
action, that III. A." finally agreed to
not have denial printed in the Tran

a denial through the Banner. The

Grand Ball.
+ Report prepared by "Sinbad."]

;m1 Report prepared by "Sinbad."]
A grand ball was given at The Court
House last evening and Was fairly at
tended. Ladies a little scarce with
price advancing. l neticed persons
Of various nationalities and occupa>
lions. The first person was the editor
Of the Banner in his night shirt it
might have been linen buster, but
the buckle being gone caused the re-
:semblance. The dance had been pro-
crossing slowly when the arrival Of the
Gov. and aids was the signal for fresh
start, so the Gov took the hand Of the
Gross lady aud led off, and they com>
menced to "shake her up lively"
Wilson is good, stout dancer, and
understands the business we'll. Nich~
ols is without exception the ladies
man, so I don't want to say much about
him, or 1 shall have them after me.
Knowlton was the best dancer, and l
guess was bound to have his share OF it..
He answered roll call nearly every
time. Judge Brick, Of St. Cloud, was
a spectator. Sensible. Among the
others present, I noticed the Deacon.
The "Boss" looked in to see If this
wasn't Republican caucus. G. Hays
was talking law, straight as a string.
The chap that Jerks lightning" for
the r. r. Co. was there, but I guess
he thought lightning got him, if I can
judge by the way he was jerked. D..
s. Mooers and lady from Fort Ripley
were present, You're not so old as
you used to be, Daniel I noticed
Bro. Porter, the getlemanly proprietor
of the Long Prairie stage line, who, by
the lively way in which he " trips the
light fantastic" would lead the specta~
tor to think that he was not 1913 years
and 2 months Of age. Bro. Nate was
-a-thete, spectator. [ noticed
Jim Fisk, bat he had something else
to look after besides Grants prospects
in 1880. Sparks =? ycu bet there was
Sparks, but no explosion or fire. 1
noticed an Individual from the Fast
with white gloves, white necktie, white
vest and shirt, and hang me if his
head wasn't chalked.
And last but not least noticed the boys
from the river. They were given an oppor-
tunity to dance; and right here want to say
that this crew of drivers are the best behaved
and most -gentlemarly set of men that have
passed through this town for the past twel e
years. The dancers adjourned at about 2:30
A. NJ, and did rot see dissatisfied person.
Yours, SINBAD.

Because ':that court" would not allow

Here is Richness.

It is generally known that the
Banner was printed the 6rst6ye weeks
in the office of the Brainerd Tribune,
and that its publication wassuspeuded
for two weeks, after which its pub
Usher succeeded in making an arrange>
ment with A. DeLacy Wood, Of Sank
Rapids, tohaxe the Banner printed in
his Office in that town, and that tie
last number Of the Banner was ac~
eording!y printed there. .NoZ. the
secret of the Temporary suspension of
the Banner is this: Its publisher was
getting his printing done principally
on credit, and Mr.. Hartley, Of the
Brainerd Tribune, finally sent the
Banner package CO D. with all the
back charges attached, amounting to
little over twenty-five dollars. The
publisher Of the Banner could not
raise the amount due, and consequent
1y could not get his package. His
frantic efforts to raise a little money
on the Unauthorized advertisements
that he had pat in his paper availed
nothing, and the superlative richness
that his fertile brain had prepared fer
his sheet was thus suppressed, and
that package of the Banner lies furled
In quiet repose, beyond the criticism
Of an :apappreciating public. A apor>
ton Of the 50 me weeks issue had been
sent down from Brainerd on an earlier
train, and the papers 80 sent were dis<
tributed in Little Falls; so that while
the hiatus in the appearance Of the
Banner covered two weeks in other
parts ofthe county, i: only covered one
week in Little Falls. Mr.. Hartley has
not yet received his pay, and probably
never VEL. 1t is thus shown that the
editor of the Banner is dead beat of
no ordinary caliber. Never before
have we known a man to undertake to
publish paper on cheek alone, and
without patronage enough to pay his
printing bills single month.
