The Messrs. Shonberg Bros, who
bought Mr.. Curtin's extensive merchau-
dising establishment on Fifth avenue
are rustllng business men, as is plainly

As will bc seen from our real estate re-
port On the first page, James River Val
ley lands attract good deal of attention

kind of people, and they can all get good
rich land, which will make money for
them.

The Weekly Alert published to-day,
enlarged by supplement, contains the de
lin ouent tax list in addition to the usual
amount of reading matter. 1t will not
only be valuable paper to send away,
but to preserve for future reference as
we'll. The circulation of both daily and
weekly is rapidly increasing. The Daily
Alcat is now read by nearly every person
within radius of thirty miles, and is
consequently the best advertising medium
west of Fargo.
The papers almost all over the terri
tory are continually recording instances
of stacks of grain and hay, houses and
barnes, and stock beng destroyed by fire,
and all because the matters of tire breaks
is SO poorly attended to Every house,
barn or other building. and every stack of
gram should have plowed strip around
Il wide enough to break the worst fire.
This prccaution will cost very little troub-
lie and may save vast amount OF proper
ty from destruction.
While the proprietor Of the Alert is

he did not, we suspect, was because he
could not do justice to the subject.
