Uncle Dudley in the Duluth Tribune:

time. Let US nave peace -"LcC fDrOtn.

ERIN 20 Unum, f Pluribus Braugh!"
That young man who went to the trouble
and expense Of getting new calico suit
made, expecting that some blushing dam
sci would invite him to offend the leap
year dance, must have felt rather queer as
the fact gradually dawn on bis expecting
soul that he was left.
Every incoming train brings new ar
rivals to our village. Men who propose
to engage in business as soon as sprin g
opens see the necessity Of coming early
in order to prepare themselves for action.
Our hotels, during the past week have
been crowded.. .
We understand that Marshall Jewell,
Of the Bismarck Tribune, has been invited
to take the local editor ship and mechani>
cal management of the Sun when it gets
fairly started Jewell is a red hot "solid
South" Democrat, and would work well
in one Of Spencer's harnesses.
The Times and Republican, Of Fargo,
are at peace. They SGT good example,
aud we are OF the opinion that it
would be we'll for us young fry to follow
it. It is better 20 have the good will of n
dog, they say, than to have his ill will,
and if Mr.. Edwards will stop that quiet
tickling Of our ribs, we will stop making
faces at him.
Since one Of Jamcstown's enterprising
young men danced to tn tune Of ten dol
lars for making himself too familiar with
the railroad company's coal shed we OBJ
serve lull among the coal fiends generally
Its Just as wicked in .hc sight OF thai
righteous corporation tor a man to steal
wood as it is to lug off coal and we warn
all those interested in either enterprise to
look little out.
NJ. C. Russell, associate editor Of the
Duluth Tribune, succeeds r. G Mitchell,
his employer, as high muck muck in the
Duluth land Office Russell will continue
to watch over the past pot, just the same,
however, while his wicked partner, r. c.
will look after the land Office just as if
nothing of Importance had occurred. Such
ch,nycs are beautiful, beautiful,
beau'iful.'
There is but one business man in James
town who does not advertise literally
Those who do trading and other business
in Jamestown should make it a point to
watch our advertising columns closely and
give those men who advertise the advantage
of their patronage. A man who will not
advertise his business in his home paper,
and thereby do his part toward supporting
it, is rot as general thing Of much ac-
count in business way, to any enter
prisirg village.

The jamestown ALERT claims that f.
P. Wells new residence at that town is
the finest ON the line. +
The jamestown ALERT has obtained the
services Of talented sketch artist, and is
now publishing an extra page to admit of
''phunny" carlcatures Of the Fargo Argus.
The jamestown ALERT is increasing IN
SIZE. and publishing supplements, despite
the Argus statement that there is no paper
at that thriving little city.
Jusr 30. The ALERT will continue to
improve Just in proportion to the patronage
it receives. Every dollar it earns goes
toward making it a better paper. We have
no other business and desire no other.
Some day we shall have the inestimatablc
pleasure Of publishing the obituary of
the much hired prostitute who now for
the sake Of revenge ignores our existence.
Some one has been mean enough to start
q report around town to the effect tina.
Capt. II. +. Elliott is not eligible to the
Office Of Justice Of the Peace because he
took trip to Montana last summer. twill
DC remembered by our postmaster. Mr..
Kelly, that Mr.. Elliott did not even have
his mail forwarded from this place during
his absence, and by others that the greater
portion Of his wearing apparel was eft
here. Ifit comes to tins, that y man can
not go to another state or territory for .
visit without being branded as a Non
resident. all right Well just SIMPLY do
some high kicking on that point next
tall. Selhshness sometimes destroys ones
own prosperity.
