through water waist,deep, which fell the
night before.
Mr.. Charles Parker, accompanied by
his mother, having in charge some very
fine cows belonging to his father, Mr..
John Parker, passed through town last
Wednesday on their way to the Winches-
ter neighborhood, where they will settle.
The elder Mr.. Parker will soon arrive
from Des Moines, Iowa. the former home
of the family, with some fifty additional
head Of cows. The family are well sup
piled with everything necessary to sue
cessful farming and stock-raising, and are
valuable accession to the population of
Emmons county. The Parkers were ac-
companied by their relatives, Mr.. and
Mrs. Gregory, of B,lrleigh county, who
go down to Beaver creek to see the FAM
lily comfortably located in their new
home.
: 1t is said that Mr.. Med who lives
between :Buchanan's 9 and sSanders.s, offers
to sell out very cheaply. He was within
the range of the hail.storm of a fortnight
ago, but had in little or no crop. How
different issthe feeling among his neigh
bors who lost their crops. One of them
was recently asked if he was disguised
and intended to leave. mot ,muchr'
he replied. where would l go? To
Iowa, Kansas, or Missouri, osbe gobbled
by a cyclone to Ohio, to be eflooded every
spring; or to Pennsylvania and the other
states where much Of the crop, was killed
this year by June frosts? No, sir; this
place can not be bought cent cheaper
than it could before the hail came. Ithas

It. is probably NOT known to most of
the REcoRp!s readers that freight can be
shipped from Bismarck to Gayton.s Land
ing atsasyery low rate. This is caused by
the competition of the railroads at Pierre
and Chamberlain with the Northern Pa
cific. Freight is taken by these South
Dakota roads for shipment, qp the river
at reduced figures and, to. meet this, the
boats running from Bismarck down the
river take goods ata. great reduction as
compared with former charges. BY
united action on the part Of, shippers at
and. between Winchester, Gayton and
.Williamsport q very. satisfactory tariff
could undoubtedly be obtained on freight
from Bismarck 8 The. read between here
and Gayton's Landing agood one, and
the round trip could be made in day.

Valley. Mess The article is found and

We do NOT desire to be misnnderstQo it
must not, be supposed that the scissors
were carried for the same reason that
prompts the typical .'::coon" to pocket

taken .northwestward for the purpose of
being used at our residence in the work

Through strip in the northwestern
part Of this county, a couple Of weeks
ago, there, was, a hail-storm which de-
stroyed, d,the. crops Of as honest and indus
atrious q settlement of people as there are
in the territory. In Buchanan's Valley
Robert Buchanan lost his field Of wheat
and. oats ), Instead of repipipg and fret
ting, these men are working with re-
newed energy. Would it not he the
proper thing for the Board Of County
Commissioners G Ito 4annul their tax as
.sessment forl the, present year. There are
precedents for such action, and it would
be IN the highest b is degree . Just and proper.
There is notes ax7payer JIM the county
whoswould raiseesh his voice against it.
These people deserve, sympathy and aid,
and not, ttta4 taxation. BYrleigh county
should-and probably ;will7r57Ittake 1t sim
liar course respecting those who suffered
within her borders.
