Why not inaugurate the old fash
ioned husking- bee some of these fine
evenings, and invite the girls to come
in with the luscious pumpkin pie.
Our town water supply is proving
bonanza for many of the country peo-
pie where the dry weather is cutting
their supply nearer home short. Some
of them come for miles.

The voting precincts for the ensu-
ing general election as established by

found under the head of commissioners c

In the agriculture display at Pierre,
last week, ex-commissioner G. j. Mil
lett Of Sully county, is credited with
getting away with the whole business
on the finest display of vegetables, one
squash weighing 6s pounds, pumpkin
76 pounds, watermelon As pounds,
and corn 4 feet high.
A prairie fire started about one
and-a-half miles south Of Lewiston,
Thursday, and rapidly spread to the
south, leaving devastation in its wake.
The residence and household goods,
of II. c. Winn, sec. ., 114-sO, were en-
tlrely consumed, together with guam
tity of lumber. Some other buildings
and large quantity of hay were also
destroyed.
While we anticipate n rather warm
and exciting time at the convention in
Clifton, on Thursday next, we have
faith that the various primaries will
send delegates who are honorable and
disposed to let right and justice pre-
vail, and who will nominate good men
for the various offices. Above all let
no personal or sectional animositv en-
ter into the convention. Thus far lit |
lie or no acrimony has been engendered
IN the Republican ranks in county
politics, and we hope to see the same
fair feeling continue, III which event
The ticket to be placed in the field next |
Thursday will be elected with very
little opposition.
1t appears that Onida intends to
go the whole hog" this fall. c. ii.
Agar, the largest owner of that little
lamlets townsite, made the statement
the first of the week that Onida would
nave the county seat and all the of
icers, too This doesn't seem hardly
air, and we have half mind to kick
,n it. The balance of the county
ought to have few crumbs of comfort
hrown out to console them. If Mr..
Agar would apply some of the super
abundant energies he is devoting to
county seat matters and politics, to
he sworn performance Of his duty as
county treasurer We presume the peo-
,l, would be just as well pleased. 1t
appears from the Commissioners pro-
that he has not yet, after
apse of three months, made his report
which the law says shall be made July
lst, and, il we understand the statute,
has lain himself and sureties liable to
sction Mt law therefor, but has escaped
