SETTLER.


From Our Regular Correspondent.
j. w. and w. D. Cross have just
threshed sixteen acres of Lost Nation
wheat, which yielded thirty four and three.
fourths bushels per acre.
The great local event of the season will
occur on Friday evening Of this week,
when a grand ball will be held in Rogers
new hall. A band from Breckenridge " i'll
be in attendance, and four cornered meal
will be set up at the Pacific House. Paste
boards two dollars.
Election day passed off very quietly
here, though considerable enthusiasm was
manifested in the evening, when several
rousing speeches were made to an enthusi
astic crowd Only two,thirds of our voters
chose TO exercise their privileges as Amer
lean sovereigns, When hcglorous news
came that solid North had risen to teach
the solid South lesson not TO be mistaked
or soon forgotten, one lone sod-eyed demo
crat, from whose fainting heart hope had
forever fled, retired behind convenient
hay stack and expired without groan.
There is long felt want in this locality,
with big w, which is wood Such a
learth of wood never was known before
inthe history of man. Itis ngonizing to
see bloated bondholder, with his pockets
stuffed with grcenbacks, rushing frantically
around offering ten dollars for three sticks
of rotten Eastwood, and no takers. Gran.
gers, wake up! We are playing game of
freeze cut with soullcss corporation, and
allowing them to shuttle the cards for CIV.

Many farmers throughout the state are
very naturally astoniShed to find notes in
the banks and collection offices which they
have no knowledge of ever having given.
The trouble is, farmers allow themselves
to be inveigled into signing their names to
papers, which afterward prove to have
been blank notes, but which some cunning
rascal represented as an order or contract
1t is safe rule never to attach your sigma
ture to any paper, unless you have personal
knowledge that the holder is a reliable per
son. Strangers should never be trusted.

Young people live, i'll great measure,
to enjoy the passing scenes, their lives are
governed by no plans, they have no cares,
borrow no trouble, and give no thought to
their future, or. as has been said, ''life 10
youth is fairy tale, just opened" In the
west we have among our population much
greater proportions ofyoung people than is
elsewhere found, and here, right at home,
in our midst, we have an unusually large
number of young men or boys growing to
manhood. II is for and in the interests OF
this class we would address a few words 10
the older people, simply asking that our
suggestions be given consideration at least.
We have no need to dwell on the perni-
cious effects of bad associates upon the
young, We simply desire to ask If now. as
the evenings are lengthening, and there is
a dearth of amusement, it would not be
advisable to inaugurate series Of enter
tainments, which would proycnot only at
traetive, but also OF an entertaining and In
structiye order. Boys viii be boys, their
superabundant energy must havcvent, they
will have sport and recreation. and if no
provisions are made for their entertain
ment, they will seek it where It can be
found, too frequently In places Of question:

A mild form of erizootic is raging in the
larger cities at present, and partial stop
page to business is the result. In Mime
apolis on Friday all the saw mills were
compelled to stop work, as there was no
way to remove their products, OF this
disease the Pioneer Press says: Zone thing
has been urged over and over by the pa
pcrs in the East where this disease has
prevailed, that should be observed here.
that is to keep the horse, after he is at
tackled, from ovcr-exertion, from exposure
to sudden change, and to give him rest
There are remedies that have been found
beneficial, and we presume they will be
duly advertised, but rest and GOOD nursing
are essential aids, and if the malady is at
tended to at the start its worst phases may
be avoided.

Everybody appears glad that the great
contest is over, and none have more rea-
son to be pleased and gratitied than the
business men of the country that the out
come has been as it is, for, while we do
not think that the democrats are less capa-
bic or less honest than the republicans, yet
radical change in the policy of an admin
istration, unsettles the affairs of a nation,
and brings about, in the majority of instan.
ces, condition of things unfavorable to
the business interests of the country at

GRACEVILLE.
November s, 1880.

November s, 1880.
Editor Norris Tribune.
The daily coming and going of trains,
gives us the impression that Graceville has
become quite a metropolis, which we eX-
poet to be the case soon if Improvements
continue as they have lately.
Once more your correspondent wishes to
inform the readers of the TRIBUNE that
Graceville is still in existance and flourish
ing. Since my last correspondence there
has been over dozen new buildings erect
ed. Among them stands the large and
commodious store building erected by Mr..
Strong, having large hall in the upper
story, which is quite an addition to our
village. The new depot, elevator and
warehouse, which are about completed
are also great general Improvements. The
large water tank and windmill is also near
ly completed. We have now three gener
al merchandise stores, one baker, one boo
and shoe maker, one harness shop, one
| flour and feed store, one drug store, two
saloons and billiard halls, three hotels, {
wagon and blacksmith shop, and many
residences, On the Gath and 25th of thu
present month we are to have grand anC
magnificent fair, for the benefit of thu
Catholic church of this place, and from thu
interest taken in it by the farming conimu
nifty the supposition is that il will be wei
attended.

strument, which the inventor, Prof. Bell,

or any mechanical medium. but by the
agency of light. In this exquisite instru-
ment the means used to accomplish this
end are, as the commentator tcrsely de-
scribcs them, ''of the most ridiculous SIM
plicity" The transmitter is a silvercd
mirror, of thin glass or Mica, against
which the speakers voice is directed. A

mirror, directed against another mirror al

simple disk of hard rubber fixed as a dia.
