WE were always of the opinion
that the county seat would remain at
Dickinson and the election of last
Tuesday shows that we We're right. as
Dickinson has a good majority for
the county seat. During the past
few weeks 4 great deal of work was
done by the other towns, each desir-
ous of securing the coveted prize.
The towns could not combine and
each voted for itself, with the excel
ton of a few votes cast ut Gladstone
and Relaxation for Dickinson. The
people Of Dickinson were not so much
alarmed rs was supposed by certain
correspondents who blew their horns
through the columns of the Mandan
Pioneer. The county seat is here
to stay.

Our CrODS.

The corn crop is short in every section.
The oat crop is about exhausted, and
the price for whatever seed remains on
hand has been run up to about fifty cents
Il bushel for good quality,
The wheat crop was good, but it has al
most disappeared. Many farmers have
been living On it since harvest, and
many others were compelled to sell Il
portion of their crop to raise a little nom
ey or to secure needed su 2plies.
Considerable quantities of land has
been sown in oats, Ior a new crop, b@t III
tnany instances the land has been too dry
to plOw, and no has been planted.
The turnip crop is almost Il failure so
far, but as it is not too late to SOW, we
hope that \ good crop may yet be had.
The grass crop is remarkably fine in
some sections, and in favored localities
the greatest quantities of hay has been
saved. This WAS the more necessary be-
cause of the loss of the corn crop in many
instances.
The cotton crop in some sections Of the
county is Us fine as tavoring rains. gener-
alive sunshine and fertile lands can make,
but this is sadly in contrast with the
crops in other sections. The crops, ac-
cording TO locality and rainfall, varies all
the way IRON tirst-claSs down to the
fields in which it would not pay to at
tempt to gather the scattering bolls:
1t will be remembered that last year
our crops were exceeding short, yet in
some localities a much smaller crop Of
cotton will be gathered.
Our farmers in many instances, by
strict economy, will he able to pay out,
but there are some whom we presume
to be hopelcssly involved, and whose
failure will to some XteEtinconvenience
the merchants, who are rs a rule per-
fectly solvent and enjoy Il credit in the
markets beyond their desires to use.
The merchants are hopeful Of an active
business from the fact that the cotton will
bring ready money, which will go to
make purchases and to pay present in
debtedness. After the present indebted
ness has beel. paid and the winter sup
plies laid in, the money will be nearly
exhausted, and the merchant will again
be expected to ''carry' the farmers more
largely than this year-this being due to
the fact that the Dat and wheat crop is
about exhausted, and the corn crop will
not be more than Il fraction of a good
crop.
Our citizens should exercise the great
est economy, and take such steps AS will
reduce all unnecessary expenses. Good
pasture fences and good milk cows are OF
Uncomfortable value. Milk contains ev-
erytliing necessary to sustain life. No
luxury is equal to that of good milk.
