apples are large, of delicious flavor, and
speak volumes for the garden land of
North Dakota.

"A certain class of tenderfeet who

from postal mailed at Bismarck, while

A severe storm of rain and hail
passed over this section early last Sum
day morning, but the accounts that have
gone out concerning it are stupendol,sly
exaggerated and false. The Pioneer
Press states that in the Sheyenne Valley
south of DEVILS Lake the damage to
crops amounted to ut least S5O,OOO. The
facts of the case as near as we can learn
are that the total damage to crops in the
district mentioned won't figure up to 81.
At Larimore crops are said to have
really suffered from the storm to quite
an extent, but the Sheyenne Valley was
unharmed.
General manager c. \. Roberts, Of
the S., G. T. T. NJ. Railway has been
stopping ut the Palace several days this
week and directing matters concerning
the immediate completion of the track
to this place. 1t is Mr.. Roberts first
''stay'' in the place and to say that he
is eminently pleased with Cooperstown
in general: and tshotel telaccommodation
in particular would be drawing it mild.

The farmers of Griggs county are
now in the midst of harvest that in
deed isproving gloriously bountiful.
Oats and barley are nearly half cut and
some are already in their wheat. About
thirty self binders We're put in motion
on the Cooper farm yesterday, and they
will he kept OH the move until the entire
patch of Z 600 acres of grain is secured.
The promises of the past few weeks are
being verified by large yield of plump,
hard berries. Farmers by exercising
great care to properly secure and stack
their grain are almost certain of good
price. BY carless handling the grade
of wheat can easily he dropped from No.
Hard to No. l, and there is eight cents
difference i'm the price, and five cents be-
tween No. and No. =. If care will Sc
cure an addition of to IL cents per
bushel, it certainly pays to stack the
grain and spare no means OF retaining
the high grade.

In response to the call for a meeting
to organize a literary society goodly
number Of representative citizens as
sembled at the Courier sanctum last
Saturday evening and made good head
way. A temporary organization was
effected by making David Bartlett chair
man and F. e. Holmes secretary, when
the work OF adopting constitution and
bylaws was undertaken. No name for
the society was chosen and the regular
officers will not be elected until the first
Wednesday in September, when it is
expected the society will be as flourish
ing as palm tree. An informal meet
ing will be held at the school house next
Wednesday evening, and it is expected
that an entertaining program will await
the public, who are cordially invited to
be there at 7:3O sharp. This is All Or
ganization that promises to result bene-
ticially in more ways than one to our
