Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., Dak. [N.D.]) 1883-1884, 1883-06-01

Mary and Joe are off on a wedding
tour, but the fun of it is they went away
in such haste as to forget to have the
nuptial tied, and the boys who had san
guinely dotted on putting the weed with
out costare now patiently awaiting the
twain's return. 1t is presumed that the
ceremony was duly and properly per-
formed at the other end of the route.
LATER-They have returned and the
boys have smoked and danced.
-Odegard & Thompson, the original
and only pioneer merchants Of Coopers-
town, appear with clashing new adv.
in their chartered column of the CouR-
TER. Mr.. Thompson, the resident chief
of the establishment, is gilt-edge deal
er, and one upon whom people can de-
pend upon when they want to buy s'all
wool and yard wide' goods. Henever
misrepresents, which coupled with low
prices is the great secret of his immense
success.
-Supt. Fernald, of the S., C& T. NJ.
R'y, paid the COURIER a brief call
Thursday, and he reports everything
alive down on the line. The first ship
ment of material for track laying was
sent from Duluth May "a, and imme-
diately upon its arrival Mr.. F. will begin
to push the work with large force,
the graders now having start of several
miles. The track from the end into
Sanbon is now in good condition, and
trains run regularly.
-Messrs. F. NJ. Rockwell, s. B. Lang
ford, j. II. Montgomery and j. Himblet
proceeded with their teams yesterday to
the claim of Miss Theresa Gimblet, a
very estimable young lady; then and
there did these bold men, with kindness
aforethought, proceed to ruthlessly turn
the velvety sward up side down with
their little breaking plows. Miss Gim-
blet spread them sumptuous dinner
and when they got ready to vacate her
premises she was richer by about nine
acres Of good breaking. Young ladies,
come west.
On the wings of love couple of
Cupid's victims came to town from over
near Hope, on Monday morning bright
and early, and upon reaching the city's
busy streets they at once wended their
way to Judge Andrus' afice. Upon
making their wants known the good
judge '.smiled smole'' and proceeded
forthwith to make them one in law, as
they already were in thought, sentiment
and spirit. Nels R. Peterson and Isa-
bella Lindemo were the happy ones,
and after wedding dinner at Mrs.
Adams they took the homeward trail
and were seen no more.
Mr.. John Flittie, one of Traill
county's most prominent land attorneys,
visited Cooperstown last Saturday and
commented freely upon the evidences of
substantial thrift the citypresents. Mr..
Flittie is a hard working man, and is
doing his level bestt to thwart the scheme
of corrupt politicians who seek the d.
vision of Traill and Griggs. He gave
it as Lis candid opinion that Griggs
county could make no more unfortunate
a mistake than a failure to appropriate
bonds at the present time for the safe
keeping of the county's invaluable
records.
A good one on Charley Ferguson.
Riding out to his claim one day he sees
not his humble dwelling. With all the
wrath of an injured man he declares the
person who tore it down and took away
the lumber the worst kind of thief.
We suggest Boreas as the culprit and in
innate he might not have been exactly
on the old building site. He listens not,
but secures competent architects and
with complete invoice of lumber again
erects his mansion. Facts developed
later proves that his former home is
still on the claim lin horizontal condi-
tom and that he had not been within
half mile of it.
AS will be seen by their announce
ment elsewhere, a new law, land, real
estate and insurance firm has been Or
ganized with David Bartlett and j.
Stevens as members. This firm bid fair
to become one of the most prosperous
of North Dakota, as they are we'll fitted
for the business they propose to prose-
cute. Mr.. Bartlett is an attorney of sa-
gacity, ability, and above all, integrity,
while Mr.. Stevens is we'll versed in all
mafters neltalnino tn real estate hrnl1or. |
