lest little thing you ever saw.
John Maginnis has been presented
with high family compliment. 1t is
q girl, bringing the scales down to the

From the appearance of stacks,
which still rs'ar up their heads upon
the near and distant prairie, we con-

yet.
The farmers may he careful, but now
and then one is losing his summers
work by prairie fires coming along,
when they are away from home, and
burning their wheat stacks.
Mr.. Scotield residing near town,

John Coleman is rejoicing over the
arrival of bouncing twelve pound
boy at his home. If the boy makes as
good a man as his father, Stevens
county will have another thrifty farm

around town after wheat. All the
farmer has to do, is to sit upon hi
load of number one hard, when it goes
higher than kite in less than no time
until sold.

Judging from the appearance of the
large quantities Of lumber which the
farmers are now purchasing, they
must be doing large amount of build

wheat and out with lumber.

If something is not done soon to
give our village Marshal an oppor-

Cogel & DeKay, is building barn
= on his farm near town only sixty feet
square. This kind of farming is not
SO expensive but what it pays we'll in
the long run housing grain and stock
