Stevens & Pickett have bought the
Bank of Cooperstown Of Lehman & l3ur-
rell, and are now full nedged bankers.
They are about as previous a pair Of
young men as there is in Dakota. Mr..
Stevens came to Dakota in the spring of
1879, and went into tho hardware busi-
ness with C. A. Benson, ct Valley City,
county treasurer elect. Closing out that
business to his partner, be became q
member of the firm Of Hills s. Stevens,
brokers and loan agents, until he re-
moved to Cooperstown in 1888 and
started in the hardware business with
Mr.. Anton Enger. under the 6rm name
Of Stevens & Enger. which hrm will
continue to do business at the old stand.
Mr.. Pickett has been cashier and vir-
tual manager of the bank ever since it
started, and while an equal partner in
the firm. will continue to act Is cashier.
He came to Dakota in 1881, in the employ
Of the Northern Pacific ,as station agent
at Sanborn, where he continued until he
was made teller t the Bank Of Sanborn.
Recognizing his ability and fidelity, upon
the founding of the Bank Of COopers-
town, he was made its cashier, and now,
with Mr.Stevens, succeeds Messrs. Len
ham 4 Burrell in t . business. With
resident proprietors there is no doubt
that the bank will enjoy greater prosper
/ y than ever.

down as usual. and failing of getting a

bo;dnoss of her enemy, the hen rushed
forward to punish him, when he sud-

and was of with it before the mother
could get back 10 her place
But one lesson of this kind was

The Town FALL o. Midaelburg,

There was Il constant fascination in
and about the old town hall for me.
The outside is very perfect, from door,
scraper to the gold weather-cock.
Built by a Burgundian architect in
l4Go, it is more French than Flemish
or Dutch in character. All the butch
ers' stalls in one corner of the building.
| the set-out of the meat, the choEping
! blocks and hooks, and the general ar
engagements of the place give one per-
feet picture of the SHAMELESS and flesh
ers' stalls OF the late fifteenth century.
The inside of the building. grieve to
say, has not quite escaped the demon
Of modern Improvement. The fine old
Council chamber, however. has been
preserved pretty much in its original
fo:m. They do say that the sketch for
the council chamber scene in 1.-The
Bells. as played at the Lyceum. was
taken from this very quaint old room.
Holland is very rich in old council
chambers. and there are few finer than
this and the one ut Neere-or rather
than the We're one was before thew
took down the bronze hands. There is
a most interesting museum in this Md
delburg Town Hall, filling several
rooms, mostly with objects connected
with the history of iceland. There
are. among other things, the grand old
feasting batteries of the various guilds
and corporations; tankards and beak-
ers and dishes of gold and silver;
plates and trenchers of pewter and
quaint old delft; goblets of glass
of Venice and Bohemia; corpora
ton seals. medals and badges; flags,
tanners and pennons; warlike weapons
of every period; old instruments of
music; books. parchments and views OF
old towns; plans and maps; pictures of
pageants and ceremonies, many of
them showing by-gone festivals at this
same old burg. But most interesting
to us were the several fine old guild
and corporation pictures, some on the
same scale and in manner of treatment
as those that Frans Halls and Van der
Helst painted SO gloriously years after
these were done. These have a certain
charm of grim sincerity and naivete
which the others. with all their magis-
terial grandeur, lack. The portraits of
the leading worthless in the guilds of
Wine Coopers and Wine Merchants are
most vigorous, and personal in the
last degree to every defect or merit of
the originals. Magazine.
