bath school, to complete the organization
of the temperance society. Every one in
terested in this important question is cor
daily invited to be present and join the
association.
On a trip up the Bismarck road, the
other day, we noticed that Supervisor
Kelly's forces had been at work removing
all the bowlders and small stones from
the highway. This will cause great
saving IN the wear and tear Of wagon and
buggy wheels. and also to the nerves and
Christianity of travellers.
The RECORD learns that two Of "the
boys" not far from Williamsport had a
slight Misunderstanding the other day,
which they proceeded to settle according
to the rules of the p. r. One of the COM
batants. in describing the entertainment,
said: "Why. he made me hop around
like paper man!'
Water was struck in Mr.. Herrick's we'll,
at depth of so feet. The workmen dug
four or five feet lower, in order to secure
sufficient quantity of that liquid which
some people drink and others use exter-
nally. The fluid found is pure and clear ;
but what does Dakota lawyer want
water for. any way?
Mr.. Herrick says that the Williamsport
members of the party of Northenders
which visited Winona last week witnessed
novel sight. This was the breaking of
couple of ponies, at the ranch of Messrs
McCrory 6 Childs, by Chatka, son of
Louie Agard. Mr.. H. says the sight was
about as lively and thrilling as one sees in
lifetime.
Bismarck Tribune Every steamboat
from below brings settlers to points
along the river below Bismarck. EN-
mons, Mcpherson, Edmunds and Wal
worth counties are rapidly settling up,
and in few years this region will rank
ahead of many of the older-settled por.
tions of the territory. The soil is rich
and tho country we'll watered.
Surveyor Peters was in town Monday.
He has been quite ill for couple of
weeks, but walked over from his claim.
On the way he was treed by three COWS,
and for time it looked as though he
would start for kingdom come from the
points Of = pair of horns. But by the
accurate throwing Of some lsrge stones,
and several calliope-like howls, the ami
imals finally retired short distance, leav-
ing him in possession of the field.
w. G. East, of Gayton, was in town
last Wednesday, and made call On the
RECORD. Mr.. East has faith in the great
and prosperous future of the Missouri
Slope, and is demonstrating that faith by
directing his attention toward both farm
ing and stock-raising, having quite q
large band of cows. This is the COR
rect plan. In this country the man who
keeps herd of stock, be it never so
small, and properly cares for it while i'm
proving his farm, is the one who will win
in the end.
A marc belonging to Sheriff Wade
strayed away recently. He found her up
on Sand Creek. badly injured. Some
miscreant, who had probably been riding
her, had put rope around the animal 8
neck in such manner as to cause it
to cut in until the windpipe was exposed,
and it is very doubtful whether she will
recover. John McCrory, of Winona, also
found one of his horses tied up, near
the same point, not long ago. Unless
this thing is stopped, some one is likely
to get into trouble.
