| Your correspondent in company with
Judge Hudson of Fargo, D. W. Marietta of
Bismarck and Col. Barrett of the Repub-
lican of this city, visited Friesland Stock
farm last evening. Friesland is the pro-
perry of F. II. Hagerty and G.. A. Brandt
of this city, and is probably the finest stock
| farm, with herd of the pllrest bred Jersey
| and Holstein cattle, in Dakota. 1t is located
! just outside the city limits and includes
600 acres of excellent farm, meadow and
pasture land. well watered by Moccasin
creek, which flows entirely across one end.
| A mammoth barn, numerous sheds and
other outbuildings have been erected at con-
siderable expense and every convenience
has been provided for feeding and watering
stock at the least possible expense and
labor. There are thirty-twO head of thor
oughbred jersey and H0lstein heifers ON the
place. several with fine calves by their side.
| The Holsteins were recently imported from
| Holland by Powell Bros, proprietors of
the celebrated Shadeland farm at Springs
| borO Penn. At the head of the herd
stands Lothian of Shadeland ITS, a mag
| nifcent three-year-ol bull The Jerseys
are all handsome animals of the pureSt
strain. and the most prolific mixers. Mr..
Hagerty is now milking twenty cows, and
| is supplying large part of the local de-
mand for milk. butter and cheese. AS the
herd is gradually increased by additional
| importations and natural increase it will
undoubtedly result in improving the grade
of stock raised by farmers and others
throughout this section of the territory. !.
Efforts are being made by citizens to secure
the annual meeting in June of the Central
| Dakota Editorial association in this city.
| The board of trade will consider the matter
Monday, and the most liberal inducements
will be offered-probably the freedom of
the city, with balls. banquets and excur-
sons thrown in. The annual session OF
the Grand Lodge l. .. 0. f. of Dakota,
which closed a three days session here Fri
day, was the most successful ever held In
the territory AS the delegates boarded the
train for home Friday night they were ac-
companied by citizens en- masse. who gave
them three hearty cheers at parting. 1t is
generally understood that Brown county
will send four delegates to the Sioux Falls
constitutional convention, though it is not
expected that anything will be accom-
plished. The names of Maj Balwin of
| Columbia and G.. N. Harris of this city have
been suggested as delegates by the Demo-
Gratis.
Henry Pennford, a farmer living near
Nina. was waited upon by a delegation of
| indignant citizens the other night, which he
very promptly did. He had been living at
Nina since March with wife and seven
children. Last week a lady arrived from
Wisconsin with two more children,
who all claimed to be MEM
bers Of Pennford's family. He acknowl-
edged them, and. stating that his house
was large enough for all, proceeded to
housekeeping in the true Mormon style.
This didn't suit the Christian people Of
Nina SO they waited upon him and after
compelling him to deed over all his property
| to wife No 1, notified him and wife No.
