The Stevens County Democracy
will make up a county ticket on July
18th which the Republicans will pro-
coed to get away with. according to
the rules prescribed by Hoyle and the
constitution.
Haying will be quite generally
commenced this week. Hay generally
brings a good price during the winter
months, at least, and it will pay farm
ers to cut liberal supply of it so to
have hay to sell Sc well as Il sufficient
quantity for use.
! The value of careful and thorough
cultivation is demonstrated by many
fields in this vicinity upon when
heavy crops Of grain are now growing.
The effects of a lack Of it may also be
seen upon few fields which do not
promise so we'll.
Tie purses for the races Oh the
Fourth have been increased. The
best horses in the county will now be
entered and their owners will make
an effort to win. The horses have
been in training for SOME time ana
promise excellent work.
We call attention to James A. john

estate.
For the swift of foot, for those who
can climb creased pole or hold Il
creased pig, for those who can reach
a given point the quickest tied up III
q sack or blind folded with a wheel
barrow in front of them there is
money waiting on the Fourth. Boys
try your skill.
One of the posts used by G. j. Groom
uuist in fencing his lots is growing
and ifnothing occurs to impede it's
progress it will soon become quite a
tree. 1t was supposed that the post
was we'll seasoned before being used
but still it sends out branches and puts
forth it's leaves. You can't keep
things from growing that in any way
come in contact with Stevens county
soil.
One day short time ago we noticed
G., J. Croonquist while he took down
one of the lamps in his store and took
from inside the chimney and around
the burner two or three dollars in
silver coin. We at once came to oul
office, took down every lamp in it ano
carefully examined all of the Chin
; neys and burners but failed to fine
: any money. We are somewhat per-
picked about it.
