Around Town.

Rev. Rockwell discoursed last Sunday
morning and evening to large congrega-
tions. Union meetings have been con-
Quoted every evening during the week,
and great interest is manifested in
them.
Notice of the dissolution of the firm of
Geo. w. Greenleese Il Co.. is published
elsewhere, Mr.. A. B. Cox retiring.
This firm has done large business in
the flour and feed line, since it's estab-
lishment here.
Y Mr. John Pashlev. formerly of Fargo,
arrived on Monday with his family, and
a car load of farming implements and
stock. lie has purchased the Mardell
townsite together with the Park avenue
hotel and a section of land. And is now
engaged in moving his chattels from
this station to that point.
Our esteemed citizen, r. E. Nelson,
has purchased the frame building on
Burrell avenue, belonging to Knud
Thompson, and will remove it to the lot
adjacent IL. z. Smart's office, and open
out Furniture store. MI. Nelson is
Young man of thorough busin ess quail
fications, and will sue eeed.
v A very unpleasant feature of the sur
prise party at Mr.. Jack Browns, last
Thursday evening, was the upsetting
Of a sled load. About thirteen of the
party were ''spilt" out upon the beauti-
ful snow white ground; but very luckily
no one was seriously hurt, beyond a
severe sprain of the wrist to Mr.. Upton,
and little shaking up of the balance
of the load.
Mr.. Gallinger, of the Sanborn hotel,
has, after many trials, procured a lady
to preside over the culinary department,
who excells in that position. This lady
is none other, than Mrs. Fannie Min
nick, one of the oldest settlers of Barnes
county. and who, seven years ago,
opened the first hotel in Valley City to
the travelling public. She is said to be
the best cook i'm the Northwest. and
can tickle the palate of the most fastid-
eQns of epicures.
Mr.. MAYNARD Crane informs us that
he has fifty heifers on his farm west of
town, and that they will come in this
spring, increasing his herd to near 100.
His stock has been under the care of
one man all winter, and have had no
other feed than hay, and to use the gen
tleman's words, ''are rolling fat.' This
is an avenue to wealth that lays in the
shade the raising Of wheat, and is bound
to be the leading enterprise with our
farmers in very few years.
~ A very pleasant party drove out to the
residence IF Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Brown
last Thursday evening, consisting of
three sled loads of ladies and gentlemen
from Cooperstown. Arriving about 8
o. clock the party were met and well
coined by the gentlemanly host, and his
estimable lady, who made every effort
to entertain the party pleasantly. After
enjoying a few hours in playing games
and listening to music, elegant refresh
menlS were SeIEcu. AC ScdSOlldDle
hour the party returned home, feeling
that they had had a royal good time.
i We would call attention to the card of
Mayard Crane Il Co.. who have purch-
ased the lumber coal and building ma
terial interests of the Lehman Elevator
& Lumber company at this point. Mr..
Crane needs no introduction to readers
of the COURIER. lie will have exclu-
sive control of the business and is finan-
cially backed by wealthy southerner,
whose acquaintance the editor enjoys.
The new concern will carry a heavier
stock than did the L. /. Il L. Co.; addi-
