Clate Tinan, the courteous and
jovial pen pusher of the Kimbai.
GRAPHIC, came up to join the giddy
girls and the jolly boys in their holiday
festivities at the Opera House Mon,

perfectly harmless. In justice to the
fair authors who showered upon him
sentimental Christmas cards we make
the announcement that he is married,
though not bald headed. He leaves

fading foot prints of former years.

1t rs now unlawful to shoot grouse
or prairie chickens, the open season
expiring on Jan LIST, We hope the
law will be observed in all cases and
that none will be 80 short-sighted Is
to break a just and good law for the
protection of these beautiful game
birds. They are At present so scarce
that the hunting Of them hardly pay.
but if they are uumolested from now
until the 18th of August next they
will increase in numbers very fast
and afford hne sport in a year or two.
Iowa, last season, reaped the benefit
of the noncompliance Of their game
laws. Good "chicken" shooting in
Iowa is q thing Of the past. The
spot hunters" have "Killed the goose
with the golden egg" Let Dakota
sportsmen bear this in mind and see
that the game in the Territory is pro-
tected.
Bro. Willis and Tinan, Of the
Kmball papers, together with I. A.
Weeks and Frank S. Smith, two of
the live business men of Kimball,
came down on Monday evening to
aid and assist the "IIappy New Year
Ball" in giving the old year a good
send off across the river Silk, and the
new year a fair start on the race track
of 1884. We met the party on the
morning of the LIST. and added our
feeble efforts to give the machine an
extra boost and now we can truth.
lully say 1884 is safely and properly
launched on the sea of existence.
We fear for bro. Tinan's safety; as to
the other three; they being in the
charge of three good ladies are safe:
but as to the lone brother we think
of him with much forbodings, ant,

At the close of the lecture wednes.
day evening steps were taken to or
ganize q literary society. A commit.
tee was appointed to arrange . pro
gram for the FIRST meeting, which
will be wednesday evening Jan. 10th.
This 10 a commeadable procedure and
with the amount Of splendid talent,
we have wondered Why such IN or
ganization was not started before. A
literary society is something needed
IN every town and community, and il
properly conducted, may be . source
of much improvement and benefit to
all, and especially to the young. We
hope that now as the society has been
started, each and every one will feel
a personal interest in the necessity Of
such an organization, and will assis,
to the best Of their ability in making
it a grand success. Let everybody
attend the meeting next wednesday
