If we don't have a thaw pretty

We believe it is decided for GER

so it will not come apart again this

We have received a specimen copy
of the jamestown Daily Alert. 1t is

Falls Transcript. It shows true grit
and enterprise, and we wish it sue"

The Fargo Daily Republican came
to hand yesterday. It is a handsome

the support Of the generous people of

will have. If you wish good paper,

The dance Tuesday evening was not
generally attended, but those who did
participate had a very pleasant time.
About 20 numbers were sold. We

were laden with delicacies that would
tempt the most fastidious.
It is really too bad that some of our
young men should be so degraded,
and utterly void of self-respect that
they cannot visit religious meetings
without making some noise to dis
turb the minister, and put to blush
their fellow men. If they had little
monkey brains stirred up with their
pancake batter, they might have a
little more sense.

cannot pass it without mention of the
song entitled, ''Tho' Rich I am no
Better than You," which was sung
very beautifully, and drew forth mer-
tied applause from the audience.

than ordinary notice. Suffice to say
the entire entertainment passed off
