paper
L. ". Starbird, of Fargo, organized a lodge of
Good Templars at Sanborn, the past week, and
Sunday night Rev. Il. A. Beard had his church
crowded to an illustrated lecture upon temper
ance. Still temperance is not the popular persua-
sion in this section.
The good and ingenious editor of the jones'

No hard, if we only had a decent price for

HcdR says of it: All the products of the farm

territory OF Dakota, and was grand success.

million dollars of the cattle syndicate he is
shaking at the Cleveland men, is a brotherin-
law of United States Marshal Allen and has been
a deputy Those who know him say that 500

Elevator company refused to grade it better than
No. 2 hard, which at the present price Of wheat

he received his returns. 1t netted him COZ
cents per bushels, Or a net gain of u cents.
His example is worth following"

and finest lady's head of hair, with committee OF
young men.
The Valley City Times notes that at the Demo

was general surprise to find that among the par
Elephants quite number that have always passed
as straight Republicans. They claim that they
have been Democrats all the time, but have

shows that the Democrats should keep up their
organization and call in the estrays.

fence OF farmers in that section, which can BE
duplicated in almost all parts of the territory.
This is a sample: Mr.. Wiser had been unfortu.
nate in the hop business in Wisconsin, and when
he came to Dakota had only two yoke of oxen
and one span OF horses. He and his sons now
own 500 acres of land about four miles from
Sioux Falls, and are WORTH as near as the Leader
could learn from a neighbor, all the way from
eighteen to twenty-five thousand dollars. When
a farmer, starting out with comparatively moth
| ing supports his family and lays by from ten to
| twenty-five thousand dollars in thirteen years,
| it speaks well for the country
