stage line started or the summer schedule
Monday last. The line is we'll stocked and
is regarded by the travelling public as the
''boss'' line of Montana.
WE are assured from a gentleman from
the Missouri valley that there is a larger
acreage being put in by the farmers of that
valley than ever before. All the old land
and much new is being sown.
MARKS & PATTERSON will run a coach reg
ularly between White Sulphur Springs and
Martinsdale after May Goth. They now
make the trip with a wagon when necessary,

making close connection with the Helena
line, travel will greatly increase.
IT IS estimated that there were not more
than four hundred votes polled at the cleo
ton Monday last, though but few of the
precincts have been heard from. Out of the
four hundred, 270 or 300 are perhaps for
Diamond, leaving about 100 for the Springs,
and $50 or 300 Indifferent.
WE are indebted to Dick & Fitzgerald for
Dicks recently published Quadrille Call
Book, and Dicks Reading and REGULATIONS
No. 8. Both the works are quite interest
ing in their line, and may be had for 80 and
80 cents by addressing the publisher, New
| York.
WE are indebted to Master William Sher-
man, Of Smith river, for a large egg weigh

of two started, the other having been bro

hen that lays such eggs regularly she will
do to keep and breed from. Every young
farmer should strive to produce the best,
whether it be birds, beasts or grain.

the dancing they could enjoy. The attend
ance of ladies was large. and all were unus-
ually fascinating. The supper was elegant,
and gave entire satisfaction. Forty-one
numbers were sold. IT, ia,
THE well-known publishing house OF Il.
B. Peterson & Bros, of Philadelphia, pre-
sented us last week with three new and
popular novels, ga Friend" "a Quiet
Life" and "That Girl of Mine.'' We have
had "That Wife of Mine,'' ."That Husband
of Mine" and "That Hog Of Nine" but
"That Girl of Mine''-well comment is nm
necessary as she will speak for herself. The
books will be reviewed in due time.
