Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1884-08-06

fastening in the ears of the herd Of Mr..
A. P. Smith. In future if you find calf.
cow or steer wearing an earring, the AN
ima1, without doubt, belongs to the Smith
ranch.
City Treasurer George E. Reed, of
Bismarck, came down Monday-paftly
to learn how the Williatnsport country
is progressing, but principally to see
how Baby George (who has been citi.
zen of Emmons county for couple of
weeks) was getting along. Mr.. and Mrs.
Reed returned to the capital yesterday.
A few miles northeast of town there is
a body of water known as Goose Lake,
which is absolutely swarming with ducks.
Let Bismarck Nimrods make note of it.
Good hotel accommodations can be had
here and an hour drive will take you to
the lake. Mr.. c. H., Edick, of the cap
sital, can tell all about it. He has been
there.
Miss Jennie smalley will probably sobn
become the possessor Of the southeast
quarter of ss-185-76, by REIMBURSEMENT
from Mr.. Dodge. This claim adjoins the
pre-emption of Postmaster Armstrong On
the south. While out that way recently
it occurred to the RECORD man that these
two claims would make one very fine
farm. See?
Judge Dougherty, of the Probate Court,
on Monday appointed Louie Agard guar
dian of Katie Sullivan, daughter of the
late Frank Sullivan, of Winona. Louie
cares as much for the little orphan Is
though she were his own child, and he
was chosen for the position to the salts
faction and with the consent of all par
ties interested.
S>Commissioner Clayton was in Will
Transport Monday. He and Louie Agard
paid the RECORD visit. Mr.. Clayton
says that he is raw recruit as to this
country in comparison with Louie. Tie
latter has put in forty years in this
part of Uncle Sans domain, while the
commissioner came here recently-only
thirty years ago .
Last Sunday the RECORD man took
trip out to the residence of Commissioner
Yeater, and while there was shown his
fields of buckwheat and fax. We can
safely assert that no finer farm produce
of the kind named was ever raised on
any soil. If any one recently arrived
asks as to the things Dakota can pro-
duce, send them to insp ect these FAX and
buckwheat fields
The RECORD desires to return thanks I'd
Mr.. H. A. Armstrong for the interest he
has manifested in the success of the paper
from the time the first number was issued!
Besides ordering a copy for him
self, he has subscribed for several copies
to be sent to friends in the states. A
little interest manifested by our citizens
generally is all that is necessary to make
the paper a success.
As the REcoRD's garden outfit in the
valley was gobbled by the hail-storm of a!
few weeks ago, the kindness of several
of our friends in sending in vegetables
is doubly appreciated. We are.under OBJ
legations in this respect to Mrs. ]. L. Bou-I
tillier, Mrs. F. D. Walker, Mrs. w. M
Derr, Miss Lizzie Tape, Mr.. Ed. Camp
bell, Mr.. w. L. Yeater, Mr.. W. B. Hall
stead, and Mr.. H. A. Armstrong.
Day before yesterday the RECORD man;
went out to the Briggs & Shelley farm,
four miles from town, where the 300
acre field of oats belonging to Messrs.
Yeater s.. Kurtz was being cut by their
Walter A. Wood harvester. The machine
is doing first-class work, and no stalks
can be found lying on the field after
the reaper has passed. All parts of the
implement perform their duties in clock
work style, and give perfect satisfaction.
The apron or gatherer attached to the
harvester works nicely, dropping four
sheaves at a time. %
Lately, upon the western ''hoe-risin;'
an hour or two before bed time, there has
been visible that remarkable and almost
incomprehensible supermundane phenom-
enon so contradistinctive in comparison
with the diurnal experiences of the un-
fortunate population indigenous to the
equatorial regions of the hemispheres.
Old Sol (named for Mormon friend of
the Queen of Sheba) was-he sat-he
retired We give it up and turn the
subject over to Sammy Cox or Sunset
Quinn. What we want to say is that the
sun has been going to roost Of late in q
burst of glory and red fire.
