Thanks to friend w. III. Knowles, of
Mitchell, Dakota, for late Dakota paper, con-
tanning handy map of that State. The
map now ornaments the walls of our
sdnctum.
We received pleasant call from Mr.. -
Smith, of Ohio. who is visiting his brother,
s. A. Smith. He says the town has changed
very much since he used to work here, over
quarter of century ago.
Somebody habitually violates one of our
village ordinances by turning cattle into the
streets. Those cattle may possibly find their
way to the pound, and that will cause their
owner to murmur. Better obey the law.
The measles have been quite prevalent in
this village and vicinity Miss Edith Erken-
beck, of Antwerp, was one of the children
who suffered from them, but she has recover
ed, and rejoices that she will not have them
again
Nanny Reynolds is a rattling young man
from Hartford, and wears pair of low neck
ed shoes. He took in this town the other
day, and after filling up with Saratoga High
Rock water, got on his muscle little apd it
cost him about S15 to cool off.
Ed. Darling, of this place, has gone into
the publishing business with one Dickinson.
of Detroit, and has opened an Office at
Chicago, in the Times building, where you
have to sail to his den in an elevator. Ed.
is a good, steady young man, and we predict
success for him.
The meetings at the Disciple church, con-
Quoted by Elder Reese, are well attended and
interesting. If we thought the members of
that church would take it in good part, we
would advise them to issue 'call" for Mr..
Reese that would induce him to take perma-
nent charge of the flock.
Pedestrians had need to keep sober last
Friday evening. The weather had moder-
ated so that a light rain had fallen, which
froze as fast as it fell, and the walks were
soon covered with film of ice, which, with
the brisk breeze that was blowing, made it
almost impossible to stand.
II. j. Hendryx, of Dowagiac, was in town
the other day, the guest of Bill Johnson
Po1o PaW NortheJner. Yes, and we sup
pose he will tell the readers of the Courier
what Bill johnson gave him to eat.-S0uth
HdreH KesSeageF. Not at all, Bro. Brown.
H. j. and Capt j. r. are two different in
divlduals.
That young man, clerk in one of our
stores, we will not publish his name, made a
bad mistake when he accosted lady on the
streets near the Opera House, last Saturday
evening II wasn't the woman he thought
it was. And thon to make the same mis-.
take with the same lady a little farther on,
was peculiarly unfortunate. When you have
anything of the kind on hand again, be sure
you accost the right woman, or It may lead
TO trouble.
The Union School at Hartford had to get
along without an assistant, while Miss Ada
Simpson was wrestling with the measles.
One of the pupils, Mr.. Ruggles, took her
place for week or so, and filled the BILL but
when the board informed him that they
would pay him nothing for his services init
mating that the experience was sufficient
compensation, he very properly resumed his
place as pupil. When one of the teachers
in our school is unable to perform her duties,
the place is filed and the salary goes right
along, which looks like the fairest way to do
business.
Prof E. Cook, of Portland, Oregon, sent
US copy of the Daily (Portland) Ne,os,
which contains the conclusion of the trial OF
Scott Beebe, who was charged with attempted
jury bribing. The trial was hotly contested
and vigorous attempt made to convict but
the jury, remaining out but few minutes
returned with verdict of "Not Guilty
We are heartily glad of this result, as from
our acquaintance with the respondent, we
feel assured that he never could have been
guilty of any such crime as charged. The
verdict was received with much satisfaction
by SCOTS many friends in Portland.
Our people may expect to witness some
very fine dramatic work on Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday evenings of this week, 10y
Bucks Dramatic Company. The members
have the reputation of always giving enter
tainments that please and satisfy their dhdi
ences and their music alone is said to bt
worth the price of admission. The celebra
