Try Frisby's Corn Killer.
Bring or Send the News.

In neghborhood like that Of Will
Transport, where everybody is farming,
there is often very little time to spare
from work. The RECORD, from the first
number, has persistently sought to give
every item of local news which has mate
rallied; but it is sometimes only "by a
scratch that we capture interesting
items. Some member of every fam
lily either visits the postofflce regularly,
or the mail is sent for by a ncighbor. So
the RECORD has put up y box in the post
office. and now, if our friends will write
out and send in anything of interest
which may come to their knowledge, a
great favor will be conferred. Every one
who wants to see the columns of the pa
per ncwsy and entertaining should help
us to a knowledge of local happenings
Some do; but many do not. There are
men in the ncighborhood whom we have
asked scores of times, Whats the ncws?'
But during all that time no item has been
extracted from them. What dull powers
of observation must one have, to live in
this country, where everything is new,
untried and interesting, and see nothing
he deems worthy the services of type.
Ii anything of interest occur IN your
neighborhood such as marriage, a
dance, party, a runaway match (horses,

MARRIED Sunday afternoon, at the res
idene of Commissioner w. L. Yeater, by
the Rev. J. H. Worst, Mr.. Dan Williams,
warden of the North Dakota Peniten-
tiary, to Mrs. Ruth T. Gibbs. Well, now,
for long time the RECORD has been
trying to stir up "the boys" of the burg
to knowledge Of the fact that
a wedding or two in these parts would
serve TO relieve the monotony OF our
peaceful, rural lives. Of course Dan is q
subscriber for and constant reader of
this paper; but we hardly expected our
well meant advice would have been fol-
lowed by veteran like him. However
the RECORD and the bridegroom's many
friends hereabouts extend to him thciI
hearty congratulations. Next2

BADLY NEEDED.

''The county of EmmOns has not a Jail
or lookup, but should have"
The above extract is taken from the re-
cent report of the territorial grand jury.
at Bismarck.
Yes; Emmons county needs Jail and
a building for county offices, and she
needs it badly.
No expensive building is required but
that something should be built suitable to
the size OF the county (undivided), and
its growing population, will not be de-
med by those who have given the matter
the least consideration. Some people say,
to get the county seat away from Will
Transport at the next election" But if it
isn't "got"-what then? Is the county
to remain without a Jail and public build
ing until another election comes around
then another-and so on, indefinitely ?
This matter is of Importance not only
to the people of. Williamsport, but to
the whole county. AS far as the RECORD
is concerned, it believes that a half f.doZen
barns and granaries now building in this
vicinity are worth more to the people of
the town than the needed buildings, so
far as the advancement of this particular
region is concerned. At the time of the
recent election it was urged upon Will
Transport people by advocates of division
that, "If YOU vote against it you will he
standing in your own light Don't you
see that you are sure of keeping the seat
of government of the north half if the
county is divided" What did our people
do? They went to the polls, every man
of them, and voted solidly against divis
ion. Why, because they believed il
against county interests
So, also, the providing of suitable ac.
commodations for county officers, and fol
the cheap and safe keeping of criminals,
is a matter which concerns every section
of the county. 1t should be discussed as
such. At the present time Williamsport
is, de faeto, the county seat, and here, OF
course, the building would be erected.
But, if work is not begun on such a
building until the county seat shall have
been changed, many beardless youth OF
to-day will be a weak and decrepit old
man ere he gazes upon the erection of thu
structure.
BY all means let the county put up 8
building for offices and a Jail.

A PROSPEROUS COUNTY.

We frequently hear Of people who ale
constantly croaking about the indebted
ness of this county. With those who
live here, who are not natural GROWERS,
aud who understand the situation, this
continual fault-fnding has no Ill effect
but with strangers, where no opportunity
occurs to refute the assertions of the pes
simists, harm is sometimes done. A com
parison of our debt with that of other
counties in North Dakota, taking into
consideration what we have to show for
it, is greatly to our advantage. Emmons
county has complete set of books, a
safe, ETC., and no more money will have
to be expended in this direction for years.
She has q better system of bridges than
any county of her age in North Dakota.

John McLaney is at Fort Yates.
Mr.. John Parkeris is at Des Moines, Iowa.
Messrs. Cantwcll and Mahaney were at
the Capital the past week.
Many ducks are now to be found upon

Mr. w. L. Ycatcr has oats for sale,
which fact our people should not over
look.
Mr. d. II. Ycatcr and Mr.. lie Fevre, of

Mr.. John Kerr has taken his stock
from his ranch near Spring creek to

Mr.. Foster Howell has sold his place-

will at once take his stock there.
People should not get an idea that there
are not as many and fine claims near
town as are to be found anywhere. Such
an impression being put forth often mis-.
leads the person searching for land, and
works to the disadvantage of the locality.

"YOu Pays Your Money and You
Takes Your ChOice.''

The following, taken from digest of
recent decisions Of the general land office
prepared for the Tribune by Mr.. o. F.
Davis, the Bismarck land-lawyer, is
unique. 1t also shows the consistency of
the Democrats in their manufacture of
political capital of the "refohm" brand:
widow purchased the improvements Of a
former claimant, consisting Of house, barn,
well, foncing, twenty acres under cultivation,
ETC., paying therefor the of 81 900, and made
pre-cmption filing the land Six months
and two days afterward she made final proof,
showing that she had caused three acres to be
cultivated to corn, placed bedding and household
goods in the house, stayed therein four nights,
and ate meals there some eight nine times.
During all this time she was carrying ON the
millinery business in a town three miles distant,
and boarded in town.
Compare the ruling in the above case [printed
in the second column below with the decision by
Assistant Commissioner Harrison, published in
first column] and take your choice. Except for
those able to expend at least $1,000 in improve
ments, and widow millners At that, we would
