On the 23d inst, Fl. L. Inman, son Of
Col e. Inman, left for his new home in
jamestown, Dakota, where he has invest
ed in city lots and is building large
warehouse in which to handle agricultural
implements for the benefit of that region.
His many friends here join in wishing
him all that SUCCESS which his business
training and social qualities would seem
to insure.
Wen now and then meet with man
whose gluttonons love of gain is so great
that lie would willingly sell his friends
if he had any for it; would unhcsitating-
ly pawn his honor as a man, if he had any,
to obtain 1t; and when obtained he would
feed on the very awfuls of poverty before
he would part with it. jamestown is
cursed with one man of this detestab}c
GLASS; and don't you forget it.
All the matter under the head "Mis.
cellaneous Items" in the Argus of the

from the Chicago Newspaper Union.
Also the article headed, "Talma, the
Greatest Of French Actors" was obtained

Learned Bros, hardware store is one
which the people Of jamestown and
Stutsman county have reason to be proud
of. Not only on account of
its being the finest store building
in the county, but on account of
the extensive stock Of goods it contains.
We do not hesitate to say that this store
equals any store of the kind in Fargo and
is far superior to any store of the kind on
the Northern Pacific west Of that place.
There is nothing in the hardware line that
these gentlemen do not keep.
