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

erected for the keeping of her records.
Is Griggs county to be tardy in this vital
matter? Let the people sound an en-
phatic 'sNo!" by bonds.
Since our last issue a large delega-
ton of men and teams have came over
from Hope to get work in Cooperstown
and on the adjoining farms. It's SUPER
f1ous to add that all are accommodated
with work for both themselves and
teams.
The Traill county records which so
disappeared a few weeks
ago have turned up at Caledonia. 1t
was simply game of the East Enders,
but it didn't work worth a continental.
They're black lot and their next move
will be stufing the ballot boxes.
Joseph Allen, Esq, screams for joy
and is now the proud parent of the first
native born of town 147, range So, his
good wife having presented him with a
ten-pound son. Mother and child doing
well, but it is feared the father may be
overcome with ecstatical emotions.
Let it be set down in the ledger of
every eastern mans memory that North
Dakota will on the first day of Septem-
ber next send greeting of a crop, that for
immensity of yield and hardness of ker-
mel will totally eclipse any previous effort
Of the kind. Grain never did and never
can look better than it does to-day.
Tomorrow will be marked as an inn
portant epoch in the financial history of
this place, for it is expected that the
Bank of Coopcrstown will then be form
ally opened to the public. The cashier
has been in readiness for business several
days, but as the combination to the safe
has not yet arrived delay is necessitated.
The Hope Pioneer has very ably
conducted the lame cause of division.
and it's present out spoken position con-
trasts as strongly as it does favorably
with the ominous silence of its columns
last fall during the county seat struggle.
Division is desperate case to argue, and
the Pioneer did well in saying as much
as it has.
&C. E. Ferguson and the publisher
regret the pressure Of affairs that pre-
cluded their attendance at Whitney's
Grand Opera House, Detroit, mich. J
to listen to the annual prize recitations
of this years graduating class of the
Training School Of Elocution and En-
glish Literature, but return thanks for
bids and complimentaries.
"A. b. Kent, a. r. Mcdonald and
G. H. Gray, as whole-sou)ed a trio as
ever took a contract or showed a jack
plane, left OH Wednesday for a three or
four weeks sojourn at Devils Lake. 1t
affords the COURIER pleasure to state
that their absence from Cooperstown is
to be of short duration, for they are
highly appreciated as deserving, enter
prising young citizens. DEVILS Lakeites
having building contracts can do no bet
ter than to call on Kent, Gray & McDo1i-
aid.
-Messrs. Iver jacobson and Ole Ser
umgard, two we'll and favorably known
men to people of Griggs county, have
formed co-partnership for the transac-
tion of a agenerallaw, real estate and final
proof business. Each member of this
new firm is SO extensively known in this
county that an introduction by the
COURIER seems superflous, suffice it to
add that they have very tlattering pros
poets.
-Sanborn Enterprise: Prof. G. A.
Clough has resigned his position as prin-
cipal of the Sanborn to accept similar
one at Cooperstown. Saying that Mr..
Clough will take charge of the Coopers-
town schools is equivalent to saying that
Cooperstown will have first-class edu-
cational institution. The professor was
at the latter place last Tuesday and
Wednesday making arrangements for
his removal thence.
j. Murray Burrell, secretary of the
Cooper Townsite Co., and cashier of the
Barnes County Bank, sojourneda couple
days in Cooperstown this week. Salts
fed with the thrift, substantially and
general aspect of matters about our
frisky young city, he embraced the OPP
portunity of cutting loose and souring
through the odoriferous atmosphere
a few encomiums grand. He is ever
visitor at the Hub of Griggs.
On the theory that "a national debt
is national blessing" why would not
a light bonded indebtedness be valuable
to Griggs? A court house would not
only supply an urgent need, but would
put down and keep down
