Much regret is felt at Aberdeen in social
circles at the departure Of Miss Lisette And
ing to Minneapolis, where she is to teach.
The post of the G, A. r. established at
Grand Forks the past week promises to be
one of the strongest in the territory. There
are already about fifty old veterans mus
tered
One day this week, Sam. c. Ormiston, one
of the members of a leading business firm
of Grand Forks, and a genial, popular
society man, was married to Miss Belle Rose,
an accomplished and graceful young lady OF
the place.
Col. o. NJ. Towner, who is one Of the pio-
neers and large farmers in the extreme north
of Dakota, has been to his old home in Mis-
souri, and organized large colony, who are
expected to soon arrive and locate in Nelson
county and that vicinity.
In many sections Of Dakota the little
gophers are very destructive to grains. AT
recent meeting of the Farmers union, in
Brown county, it was proposed to ask the
county board to offer reward of few cents
head for every one destroyed.
The grand jury at Glendive, the past week
failed to find the cowboys engaged in the
Wanton killing ARRAY some time since,
guilty of murder. The mild presentment
was for carrying concealed weapons and
making threatening demonstrations with
them"
At recent meeting of the directors Of the
Grand Forks, Crookston 81 Lake Superior
railroad it was decided to issue $1,000, 600
bonds, and place the same in the market at
discount Of so per cent, and proceed with
the construction of the line as the means
are obtained.
Fifty-three of the counties of Dakota,
about half of the entire number, have more
or less miles of railroad within their
borders. 1t is thought that twenty other
counties will be added to the list this year.
The aggregate figures include several unor-
ganized counties.
Rev. W. H. Hoadly, temperance mis-
sionary, sent out by the Rock River confer
ence, of Illinois, is speaking in southern
Dakota, with the object of securing pro-
hibition plank in the state constitution,
when one shall be formed. A temperance
convention for the same end is to be held at
Mitchell from April Is to 10.
The plans for the new $40, 900 hotel at
jamestown, of which mention has been made,
are matured, and it is believed that it will be
ready to receive guests by July 4, although
not completed then. 1t will be of brick,
three stories high, 100 feet on Fifth avenue
and the same on Fourth street. The Lloyd
bankers are the chief movers and proprietors
of the enterprise. 1t will be a first class in
stitution in all respects.
S. Fl. Lyon, a gentleman well known at
Valley City, spent the winter in Michigan
suffering with rheumatism, and claims that
he is entirely free from it since his return to
Dakota. There is no doubt that the climate
is beneficial to that disease and asthma, but
chronic cases of no disease need expect a
sudden blooming out into perfect yigor at
the first whiff of the ozone. Advanced
stages of consumption will be fatal here as
well as elsewhere.
Some of the papers in south Dakota pro-
pose that the Huron convention on the 23d
shall suggest to the president the name of
some Dakota man for governor. 1t might
be well to ask for the appointment of Da-
kota resident, but any attempt to designate
name will undoubtedly cause trouble and
split. There is no one of the dozen or more
named, upon whom there can be anything
like unity-not even one of the sections
would be unanimous upon any man.
The Cambell County Courier gives this in
stance of pioneering which will not long be
practicable: zone Parsons and his family
settled last fall near the county line between
Walworth and Cambell, about twenty miles
from any neighbors whatever, remaining
there from December 1st to April 1st with
out seeing human being other than men,
bers of their own family, except one, when
Mr. Parsons went TO LIE Beau for mail They
had plenty of wood and provisions and good
health, and so braved it through all right"
