lie was found at the stable, serenely at
tending to his chores. The horse had
hidden its master "adieu" out at the Nit

been compelled to do the pedestrian act
on his return journey.
Although not so prolific as last year,
the yield OF potatoes in this locality is up
to the average, and the product is of good
quality. Mr.. Jacob Kulbcrer dug por-
ton of his crop last week, and informs
us that they yielded much better than he
expected. Several wagonloads have been
sofa TO parties who came up with teams
from Mcintosh county. The price paid
was 25 cents per bushel. The tubers were
bought for newcomers in Mcintosh, who
have not yet raised crop.

During visit TO Bismarck last week
the writer called at the tailoring estab-
lishment and gents furnishing store of
Dahl Bros. These gentlemen have a
stock of goods which is not cxccllcd by
any custom tailoring house and furnish
ing store in the West. Everything is
flrst-clsss and prices reasonable On this
! account there is little wonder that the
| firm of Dahl Bros. is doing nine tenths of
the business in their line on the Missouri
Slope. We have not yet seen man dis
satisfied with the quality. fit and price of
suit ordered from this firm.
Quite an odd mistake happened to Mr..
ana Miss Connor. who arc residing on
their claims, near town, recently. They
arose early, as usual, and the lady pro.
gentleman went out to tackle the wood
pile. AS genera thing, breakfast and
dawn occur about the same time at the
ConnOr residence. But not so on this oc-
casion. Well, the meal was soon over
but still no daylight. Then Mr.. G. con-
cluded to again retire for short time,
and Miss q. proceeded to clear away the
breakfast things. This finished, another
peep was taken toward the east but not
yet sign of Old Sol. So the watchers
concluded to give it up. They then re-
tired, and it was several hours before the
rays Of approaching day finally material
lied. The first rise to meet the morn
must have taken place about midnight.
The lady thinks it may have been a deep
laid plot for the purpose of causing her
to provide two breakfasts.
Mr.. E. j. Worst, of Davenport, Iowa,
arrived at the residence of his brother, our
county school superintendent last Thurs
day: Friday the two gentlemen,~aece
the lake hunting. Quite a number Of
ducks and one brant were killed but the
hunt was not quite as successful ms it
would have been had the Judge been left
behind, rs hc scared the birds away. The
party would slip up to within hundred
yards OF flock, when some old drake on
guard would send up loud quacking,

DR.. Petit is again with us, having
come down from the Capital City last
week We understand that it will not be
many months ere the doctor makes En-
mons county his spermanent home. With Il
good physician here, and the fact known
would not take long to establish living
practice Emmons is healthful county
iobc sure; but the ills of old age will
come; accidents, etc. Especially "etc, ~
will happen, and it would be very conve-
nicnt to have physician nearer than a
days journey. The people of tile Will
Transport country hope that DR.. Petit
will soon DC with US In person, as he is
already in hope for and confidence III
the future of this region. He is q young
man, and is possessed of Il thorough
knowledge Of his profession he is pleas
ant, sociablc-~one who makes and retains
friends. People all over the county will
indorse the REcoRDs estimate Of the
gentleman as they become better ac-
quainted with him. These lines are writ
ten partly from an acquaintance with the
doctor, but more from what has been told
us Of him by some of the best informed
people in Bismarck who have had oppor>
tunities for knowing whereof they speak.
And the RECORD, in this paragraph, sim.
ply reflects the public qualification that
the county's first physician will be one of
agreeable rilatiners and well qualified.
