Apropos of the creamery enter
prise which is at present attracting
a good deal of attention in Dakota,
and the propositions being made by
professionals" to institute and
stock given locations with their ma
chinery at good deal of expense to
such given community of stock
holders, an experienced man in the
st. Paul Globe, says: "Whcre there
are from $50 to 500 COWS within a
distance of ten miles each way in a
good locality. creamery can be rum
successfully. The best way is for
some influential man, in whom the
community has confidence, to 20
about and see who will and who
will not patronize creamery and
stay by it a year. A meeting is
then called, the matter is talked
over and a site decided upon.
shares are then issued to the amount
of the supposed cost of the plant.
A good creamery can be put up and
stocked with all needfed machinery
for from 5000 to $1,5OO, provided
the patrons will buy their own cans,
which will cost from 80 cents to 81
per can, each lot Of ten COWS need
ing can. The stock is usually put
out in $40 shares bearing ten per
cent interest. The building CON-
mlttee is selected and get plan of
the building. The machinery is Sc
lected from list of supplies and
the plant made ready. Officers must
be selected to run the affair, but
need only consist of an auditing
committee and salesman; the lat
ter will act as treasurer of the con-
cern."

Mr.. N. Davis, Jr., justice of the
peace, made standing offer that
the first couple allowing him to per-
form the marriage ceremony for
them would have a No. job done
free. Mr.. William Lawson and
Miss Emma F. Trost, both of Fair
mount, were the first to take Mr..
Davis at his offer. Our best wishes,
with those of their many friends, are
extended to the newly married cou-

The TIMES family, this paper ac-

the wedding but didn't know how
soon. However, The TINES tenders
its congratulations, with the hope
that the young couple may live long
happy and prosperous lives.

FOR A woMAN's HONOR.

The uncalled for and disgraceful
manner in which Joe Gum of the
Gazette, Breckenridge, has pursued
Geo. F. Cooke and wife of the Echo
in slanderous publications, culmi-
mated last Monday in hand to
hand fight, wherein Mrs. Cook, to
make the least of it. undertook to
revenge her wrongs with whip.
1t seems that this last attack was
brought about by the Echo taking
the part of the railroad folks in not
having been invited to leap year
party, recently held in Breckenridge.
when the Gazette came back at
Cook with the assertion that he
(Cook) was put out because himself
and wife were not invited on ac-
count of past disreputable conduct
on their part. This was too much,
and Mrs. Cook very properly decid-
ed to cowhide Gum and for this
purpose accompanied by her hus-
band and two friends of latter, en-
tered the Gazette Office and in MAX
ing her purpose known, ,fumbled the
whip and scarcely getting in blow
before Gum snatched the same
from her hand, and she alleges,
struck her, when Cook struck Gum,
and one of the others springing in,
caught Gunn's wrists and held him
while Mrs. Cook belabored him with
her hands and fists, making all
around a lively fight. 1t is not the
province of newspaper to attack
the private life of a woman as Gum
has done on more than this occasion,
and since Cook and wife have
turned on their traducers it is to be
hoped they may take the mat
ter into the courts and give Gum
or anybody else a chance to prove
any scandalous yarns or suffer the
consequences.

was not only in his usually pleasant

the contract being awarded to T..
Olson & Co. Of Dwight. Thus the
school facilities of the county grow
apace which, taken with all other
classes of Improvements, justifies the
belief that Richland county is MAX
ing good substantial progress.

TIMES AND COUNCIL.

Aoo ~ NC uuucIStOOu now CnaC
The TIMES has no quarrel with the
city council individually or other
wise, but men say to US that Alder
man Hanly told them that we were
present at the city council meeting
when the contract for light was
voted on and that we, as a citizen
favored the same, whereas Mr.. Han
ly is mistaken about our favorable
feelings. Alderman Lawrence and
q. N. Wood are witness to the fact
that in Mr.. Lawrence's store that
Monday afternoon prior to meeting
we opposed the plan of lighting the
city till twelve or one O'Clock, MIR.
Turner having told US that same af-
ternoon that he would run the light
till one O'Clock if the council insist
ed on it. At the meeting we made
the same objection and were sat
down upon pretty effectually. We
then raised the question as to
whether Breckenridge could not be
worked, making the scheme more
favorable to all concerned, and were
effectually sat upon again. And
when we urged Alderman Braun,
sitting near him, to stand out for
light till early morning in the sum-
mer time. we did it so that most, if
not all in the room heard it,--and
Mr.. Braun made the effort but no
headway in what he wanted, it being
dismissed with the remark that
cities didn't have light all night.
We say this in justification of our
ourselves. We were not one thing
that evening and something else
next morning. Not at all.
The truth of the matter is we be-
lieve that if ever a man is called
upon to stand by friend it is when
that friend has made a mistake and
is in difficulty, and this is precisely
what we have undertaken to do in
this matter. We went out of that
chamber disappointed and feeling
that our friends had made a mistake,
and naturally tried to do a little
something to help them out of it,
hoping the measure had not gone
too far for retraction. 1t is no sin
to err; it is human, and it is divine
to forgive. That is our position in
this matter, and it must be that the
public is with US. OF course we are
not immaculate, not even in our
own opinion. but the council should
give US credit for the same sincerity
that we give them, and especially
those who have always been our
friends.
On the other dilemma, Mr.. Dam
erel's communication, involved no
personality, no abuse and no thrust
at anybody, nor was it in the inter-
est of any faction, but was Mr..
Damerel's version and criticism of
public measures, county and city,
and while we would not have writ
ten as he did, it was of such char.
acter that a self respecting news
paper could not have refused to
publish-for what it was, a commun-
ication. For years THE TIMES has
had a notice at the head of it's COL
umns inviting any and all to write
their views on public matters, US.
ing proper language, we not of
course holding ourselves ready to
endorse same. That is our idea of
a newspaper. The TIMES is not
fighting its friends. not by a long
shot. We mean to help them. We
believe they have not authority un.
der Law limiting Indebtedness of
cities to put in the light involving
such an Indebtedness. We say this
in kindness. not decry,ng anybody /.
