for three evenings in Fargo Of Prof. Dazey's
great war drama, SJnder Which Flag"
April Z, 5 and 9, under the auspices OF the
local post Of the G.. A. R. Much of the finest
amateur talent and many old soldiers will
be brought into requisition. This is the first
representation of this drama, which is pro-
nounced BY veterans as containing very
vivid portraitures. The author is a resident
of Valley City and naturally inclines to war
scenes. 1t is thought he will dramatize some

To-day the prosperous young city has two
hardware stores, two hotels, harness shop,
butcher shop, drug store, three land and law
firms, newspaper, blacksmith shop, lumber
yard, two general stores and two saloons,
with church in prospect. The paper says
there has not been a week since October that
carpenters could not work out doors. It
does not insist, however, that no roof or
windows were needed for that printing Office.
