B. ?. Hoover, of Fairbank, made
a brief visit to Clifton, Tuesday. He has
completed his hay contract at Fort
Bennett.
A heavy rain visited this section
Thursday night. 1t was accompanied
by considerable mind, and we fear many
wheat shocks.
Look out. for rattlesnakes Dog
days" are here and the rattler is sun

ugly and venomous.
Pierre has a Building and Loan

where it has been tried.
Eleven carloads of lumber and
other things have been shipped from
Minneapolis to the cyclone sufferers mt

have also contributed to the sufferers.
Grass is still fresh, succulent and
toothsome to the herbivorous animal,
and stock OF all kinds is fiourishing in
an unprecedented degree. The butcher
is happy for he can pick up fat cattle,
equal to the stall-fed of the east, al
most anywhere.
We regret to learn that Messrs.
Wright and County Treasurer Toomey,
of 1876, had 80 acres of wheat de-

frame for large barn being erected BY
Mr.. Mercer, in the same township, was
torn down by the wind, and some other
damage done.
p F. Bussey, the able young law
yer of Norfolk, paid Clifton brief visit
last Saturday. 1t may seem little
singular, but, about the time he left, a
particularly fine looking young school.

county who had been attending the

Ed. A. Hill, Of White Lake, Oak,
foremen of the Homer (Mich.) Index
some four years ago wh1n ye senior of
the WATcHNAN published the paper,
has "plucked a Brand from the fire v
of maidenhood, as it were-in other
words was married. July 23rd, to Miss
Lime |. Brand, of Redtield Ed. is
genial young fellow and good print"
and we trust has got fat take -
not particularly in avoirdupois, but a
good partner to waltz down the road
of lie with him.
1t is reported that Fred Evans will
erect an elevator and buy wheat at
Fairbank this fail. we nope this VIII
prove true, for it will not only prove
great item to the people of western
Sully IN hauling but tend to give inn
petus to the market and create better
prices. We see no reason why FAIR
bank should not be a good point for
grain buyers with its cheap water
transportation TO competing points,
and even down to the coast by way of
New Orleans
Remember that John Hebinck,
the Clifton blacksmith, can do your
work up in good shape.
