Columbia will make village Of some
Importance.
Major Lyon will possess, when COM
pleted. the handsomest residence in Stuts
man county. We admire the Majors good
taste.
We notice that the warm weather is be
ginning to keep some of the elder people
away from Sunday School. This should
not be.
M. A. Brewer, a prominent tailor of
Fargo, was in the village yesterday. Mr.
Brewer makes up clothes in first class
style. We know by experience. -.
1t would greatly improve the appear
ance of our neat little Court House, if the
roof was daubed with paint, and finished
after the style OF the Majors residence.
The organization of the Democratic club
which was to take place last SATURDAY
night, was postponed; not enough of the
faithful putting in an appearance to make
it success.
Flint s. Dole served dinner for 1873
persons on Friday last. They didn't
seem very much excited either, although
the Col. looked unusually happy when he
locked up his strong box at night.
The job of plaster,nc in the jamestown
Bank 10 the finest we have seen in Dakota

We have been pleased and made happy
to observe that the advice of the Alert

friends instead Of building 500 shell,

The number of pupils enrolled up to
the present is seventy-two. The average
daily attendance, for the last month was
fifty, consequently an, not very we'll
please with the attendance. I admit
that there are times when
it becomes H.. necessary for pa
rents to keep their children at home. but
some I find by /kperiance are detained by
their parents for very trivial matters, and
no one can STE the great loss they sustain
as we'll as the teacher. There can but
little be accomp plished without regular.
ity, especially at school. The lessons
must be linked together in order to &C.
quire an education. Good lessons and
regularity make the man, one being de-
pendent on the other. Twill use my ill.,
huence to secure the former, and I hope
you will do the same to secure the latter.
It would crafty me very much if you
would take the trouble to write me an ex.
cuse when your children are tardy or have
been absent, otherwise they violate the
rules of school, and must endure the con-
sequence. p. Fl. FOLEY,
