The organ of the lately deceased EN-
mons County political combination is un-
happy because the RECORD doesn't con.
tlnue the fight against it's late opponents.
The RECORD will again be found at the
front when the proper time comes,
Frosty; but the RECORD never puts on
its war-paint in time of peace.
That was a rather pretty picture on
the banks of Red river, Saturday, Dec. 1,
says the Fargo Republican. A skating
party on the river and croquet party on
the lawn, not hundred feet apart, at the
same time. Those who would tire of Gro
quet donned the skates and passed an
hour on the ice, and vice versa.
There is no line of goods sold IN which
the public is so little posted regarding

Grand Forks Herald: whats the
matter with Dakota?' asks the bewll-
! dered Eastern man as he battles against
the binding snow-storms back in New

is the merry answer that floats back from

by the most glorious sunshine and the

side in future--or, at least the near flu

is not deserting Dakota for good, but
that with his cash salary he can do more

years than by remaining.
George Jennings, the Bismarck grocer,
whose ic np fho <,f M,;,
Fifth Streets is building up a splendid
reputation for fair dealing among the
people of the Missouri Slope. And one
reason therefor is that he keeps fresh
and pure stock ,atfall times and his prices
are reasonable. The well-known firm of
McCTory 8 Co., butchers and general
neat-deafers, are in the same building.
Mr.. Hughes, the Steele mail-carrier

cabin in Williamsport 1t is just large
enough to give room in which to put up

tleman to stretch his weary limbs after
reaching the end of his long and lonesome
trip. The mansion is built with two
board walls several inches apart, and the
space between filled with dirt. 1t has a
little window IN the door, and will be
cosy and warm.

last Saturday evening Joe Morgan
started to drive Ezra Thurber's team
from Williamsport to Mrs. Thurber s
place, about two miles and a half from
town. AS he had not arrived at late
hour, Ezra started out to search. He
found the wagon abandoned on the road
about a mile this side of John Casscl.

travelled till he became tired, unLitched
the horses, caught hold of the tail of one,
and she steered him straight home across
the prairie.
Mr.. Erhardt Wurster, the young gen.
tleman who recently purchased the Ken.
nedy ranch in Gayton township, visited
the county seat this week. Mr.. Wurstel
is one of class of young men which ev.
cry settler is pleased to see come into the
county. Backed by ample capital and
well educated, he never seeks to thrus,
these facts in the faces of those he meets

duct, he adapts himself to his new life
and seeks to make friends. We hope his
business venture in this county may
prove satisfactory in every respect.
Bad Weather In Maine.
In some respects this has been hard
