Riverside Township,

L. j. Stone and family of ten went to Coop
erstown few days since via the mounds to see
the sights and wonders of nature but they,
lko many others, are at a loss to know whether
the mounds are tho works of nature or
whether they were built by tho wonderful
mound builders. AS Mr.. and Mrs. Stone have
friends visiting them from the East, their fam
lily is uncommonly large just now.
The Nimrods Of the Sheyenne have COM
menced shooting deer, though they are very
scarce nowadays.

As any Old bach in the county. Last Sunday

cat wild goose, duck and fried cakes.
Miss ALA Lear is visiting friends in Grand
Forks county.
' The social hop at L. ]. stones the evening
OF the 2lst was q great success, there being
hctween fifty aud sixty in attendance AL Da-
wilson was there with his banjo and sang a
few lively songs, and Vet Pound gave us the
benefit Of two or three daclamations. 'Peter
Sperum's Courtship' was comcal enough or
ridiculous enough to make hog laugh from
ear to ear. The fun was kept lively till peep %
day, and I am satisfied that everybody went
homo rejoicing.
At tho annual school township election on
Tuesday, i. j. Stone was elected director for
three years, S. j. Pound, clerk, for two years,
