Words Of Praise.

The lives of editors arenot always lined
with gloom. No, there are many little
pleasantries strewn along their path of
toll, and often streak of sunshine enters
their sanctums, as did the following, UNI
der the care of.Uncle Sam and within
the folds of an envelope. From letter
to the publisher the attached lines are
taken, which we trust our readers will
peruse while we modcstly stand with our
face turned:

issue of what undoubtedly is, and we
hope will continue to be, the best weekly
journal in Dakota. Both locals and adj
vertisements are of a live and spicy ma

calities as ithas done among Sanbornites,
there is no telling where her circulation

NUMEROUS FACTS
That Recommend CoOperstOwn
to the Business Man, the Ar
tfsan or the Capitalist.

1t is a railway terminus.
1t has the great advantage of being the
county capital.
Its geographical location and the natll-
raj beauty of the site itself are strong
points.
The citizens of the vicinity are edu-
Gated, enterprising, liberal men and
women.
A man cannot legitimately invest a
dollar here without reaping in double the
investment within twelve msnths.
Our city is the most convenient rail-
way mart for an immense tract of coun-
try north and west, which is booming
big.
Our commerce is not likely to suffer
from a wet season, the whole county
being gently undulating.
The city will not only be backed by the
vast fertile fields tributary, but will also
have the very healthful cooperation of a
railroad.
We will soon have the best educational
1IlSIlCuUc lIl NOIIl OdhOCt1. S1llu Ou1 oO.
ciety is already unexcelled.
A failure or light crops have never
been known i'll this county, and farmers
are proportionally prosperous.
The purest water in the universe is
found in our wells. No alkali or other
deleterious substances to destroy perfect
harmony of the functions.
Cooperstown has the most liberal, en-
ergetic and enterprising original owners
of any town in the land. They are all
men of brains, money and vim, who are
putting their shoulders to the wheel and
building up, instead Of ofboomingth The place
as speculative venture.
The Sanborn, Coopelstown & Turtle
Mountain railroad is owned and managed
by those interested in the prosperity of
our city. The result will be unusual
freight and passenger advantages for
Cooperstown.
1t offers the most substantial opening
for live business men Of any town in
Dakota. as they can now get in on the
ground ttoor'' ard grow with the city
and county.

The resources of Griggs have never
been told. If a man sows bushel of
wheat he reaps score Of bushels in re-
turn. If Hhe plants an Investment in our
soil his reward is likewise great, and if
he plants an ad. in the COURIER the re-
suits are prolific harvest of business.
Our business men all know it and are

-Messrs. Stevens & Enger, our enter
prising hardware dealers, have tale to
unfold to all enqulring readers. Their
chartered column will be found OH the
eighth page. Mr.. Anton Enger departs
for the wholesale markets on Monday to
purchase an immense stock in order to be
in readiness for the big building boom
now focalizing.
Lawyer McMahon, of Hope, here as
the counsel for Mrs. Charleton in the as
sault case, feels sanguine of the division
of Trail and Griggs counties for Hopes
benefit, but we fear Macs judgement is
as fallible as before election, or when he
bet on Will Jones' weight and had to
''set up five pounds of Thompson best
nuts to the boys at the Merrill House for
his mistake.
&C. A. VanWormer has been at the
Griggs ''Hub'' all the week, the guest of
r. G. Cooper. He is delighted with the
boom and bang Of things about town and
he will do lots of tall talking for Coopers-
town during the six weeks he will spend
in Pennsylvania between now and April
lst. Mr. Van Wormer was the plaintiffs 8
attorney in this weeks trial at Cadi
Glass court.
If President Arthur, or any other in
dividual, wants the COURIER he must
remit the collateral. We haven't been
in journalistic harness many centuries,
but we have had a little experience with
pay-in-a-few-lays subscribers. Our les
son has cost us more than a poor man
generally carries in his pautaloon pock-
cts, but it has taught us well. Cash in
advance is the result.
AS will be seen by announcement

The Park Avenue Hotel has an enviable
reputation as to its cuisine aud general
management, and when an opportunity
is offered our lovers of Terpsichore to
avail themselves of its dance hall and

the affair of the season, and we bespeak
for the management goodly representa-
ton from this vicinity.

The bill tocreate the county of Steele
by taking two tiers each from Trail and
Griggs has been introduced in the house
at Yankton. 1t provides that the meas
ure shall not take effect unless approved
by a majority of the voters living within
the proposed territory.
For the especial benefit of our eastern
readers we print on the fifth page of this

the land law. Those in quest, or likely
to be, of the information therein con-
tanned will do we'll to preserve the article.
The case of DIR. Virgo VS.. Mrs. An
ME Charleton and her son, C. Charleton,
has been dwindling along in our justic.
court all the week, owing to the non-al
rival of Mrs. Charleton, who was alleged
to. be on the sick list. Charlcton was
finally arraigned separately, and bound
over by Justice Glass in the sum of $500
to appear before the district judge. 1t
would seem from the evidence that the
defendants attempted to force entrance
into Mr.. Virgo's apartments, and that
they made dire threats against the doc
tors safety. The object of the attack it
seems was desire ON Mrs. Charleton's
part to eject Mr.. Virgo from the premises.
Charleton departed in custody Of Sheriff
johnson, not being able to get bail.
The Cooperstown Lumber Co. is an
institution we may we'll feel proud OF.
Located SO miles, as they were when
their yard was established, from railroad
facilities, they have displayed remarkable
push and pluck in supplying the demand
for building material at this point. Not
withstanding the constant heavy drain
upon their yard, it is notable that they
always have supply sufficient to keep
every enterprise OF the move, besides
daily increasing their stock. They make
a speciality of dry lumber, for the protec-
tion of which they have erected a large
two-story store house 20x102 feet III
dimensions. The company now draw
from the end of the s., G. & T. NJ. track.
which shortens their overland freighting

for twelve years. the consequence of the
drought was o famine. The King of the
country sent for his OWNERS, who told him
what had happened, and added that unless
the ascetic could be disturbed in his pen
ances no rain could be expected. Being
brought 10 the palace, the ascetic fell in
love with one Of the Kings daughters,
who did her best TO please him, and her
father gave her to him in marriage. There.

material of the kind, the only objection
to which was the cost. And now NJ

How QUEEN BEss ATE-A reader OF
" Kenilworth is apt to grow enthusiastic
over the days of Good Queen Bess and
her brilliant court. II, however, he wishes
to know how thoroughly Scott's magic pen
has bewildered him, let him read any his
tory which reveals the style in which the
Queen and her court lived. He would be
surprised to fad that such were her sur
roundings that few of the laboring class OF
to-day would endure them. The serving
was of the rougnest kind Huge joints of
meat were brought. to the table on the
roasting spits. The carver held the meat
with one hand while he cut it with the
other, and the guests helped themselves
with their fingers. After eating what they
wished they threw the remnants to the
dogs and cats under the table. There we've
no forks with which to take up the meat,
and no plates to hold it. Huge slices of
bread served for plates, and were called
trenchers. These became soaked with
gravy, and were often eaten with relish /;
If left, they were gathered in basket and
given to the poor. The furnishing OF the
immense palaces corresponded with the
rudeness of the tables. The rooms were
large and lofty, but uncsrpeted, with floors
covered with nothing batter than PUSHES.
The furniture was scanty, indicating little
taste in style or execution, and the great
rooms looked bare and cheerless. The
homes of New England mechanics to-day
are far more comfortable than the palace
of the great English Queen. Yet they did
a great deal of good work in those days of
rude living 1t was the brilliant age of
English literature and craftsmanship.
There was much thigh thinking" then,
showing that mental and moral causes
are more operative on men than phys
ical causes.
