Hon. W. NJ. Potter is arranging to enter
the editorial field again in north Dakota.
In south Dakota many use fax straw for
fuel, in place of coal, and regard It as quite
success.
Col. Richardson, Of the Valley City TinlsS.
veteran journalist and member of the
council, has this expression of appreciation:
''The Dakota department of the ST. Paul
GLOBE is edited with rare ability and discern
ment. 1t is one of the attractive features
OF the GLoBE-to a Dakota man-is always
fresh and reliable, and makes the GLOBE
much sought after"
There is barely snow enough in north Da-
kota to whiten the ground, and visitors who
bring reports like this, in the Ipswich Gazette,
arc very popular:
The Valley City Democrat is q handsome,
well edited representative of its party, but a
trifle unhappy at the non-appearance of the
GLOBE on its table.
The Valley City Times is preparing hand
some illustrated holiday edition. Although
published at 1.500 town, it is one of the
most influential daiies in the north.
The fair held by the ladies of the Episcopal
church at the rink in jamestown, last night,
was brilliant affair. There was Christmas
tree, and a 500 quilt was voted the hand
soonest lady in the city. Gentlemen were
excluded out Of jealousy of Burke.
The Minnewaukon Sifttngs says Of the APP
proach of the jamestown Northern: The
smoke of the engine is now daily seen from
our business houses and dwellings, and it is
highly probable that when the road gets in
next week, the town will be painted q signif-
icant and vigorous carmine.
The young men at Ordway attempted to or
gaDize lyceum but made a failure of it,
when the young ladies took the matter in
hand and are showing the mortified young
fellows how to run first-class debating So
cietT. They arc pretty smart and can talk
the fellows into spasms.
'W. B. Higgiu botham returned on Thurs
day last from a visit to Massachusetts and
other eastern states. Mr.. H. says that when
he left the old Bay state seven inches of the
beautiful covered the ground This, when
we Dakotaians were basking in the sunshine
and enjoying the most delightful weather
imaginable.''
A farmer named Walter 3. Smith, living
in the eastern part Of Lake county, mort
gagged all his personal effects two OF three
times over and skipped out, leaving numer-
Gus creditors in Madison, Flandrau, Wal
worth and other towns in the neighborhood
to mourn his loss. So says the Marion Sen
ttase, which puts the amount over $4,000.
Mrs. Fields, lady eighty-two years old,
living at Columbus, Wis, has come out to
Alexandria, Oak, 10 visit her son, a pros
porous farmer, and the novel feature is that
it was the first time she was ever upon the
cars. She said it was like getting intoa new
world in Dakota. and she felt as fresh and
youthful as when she came out from Yer
mont, befors the railroad time.
Col. Tyner, after he prepares his reports 10
the governor of the Red6eld campaign, will
go to New York to have surgical operation
performed. He has since the rebellion been
troubled with a chronic complaint caused by
military service, for which surgical operations
are required occasionally. The exposure in
the late Sphinx county trouble has aggravated
his difficulty.
There is a vast proportion of young mar
ried people in Dakota, which fact, in connec-
ton with the peculiar climate, accounts for
the general prevalence of the epidemic al
luded to by the Sioux Falls Press in this /:
visited, that have assumed anything like an
epidemic, have been those which tended to
increase rather than diminish the popula-
ton.
The Ipswich Tribune makes this claim for
its busting young city: "The business done
in Ipswich the past summer has been enor-
nous, and for its excess of that of any other
town in central Dakota, with. possibly, the
exception of Aberdeen. Goods are sold to
parties as far distant as Winona, in Emmon G
county, and the majority of the people from
Campbell, Walworth, Potter, Faulk and Nc
Pherson counties come to Ipswich to buy
their supplies

didate for speaker Of the house. There are
