That was the last he saw Of them, al.
though he has spent couple of days rid
ing over the country
~ party OF Williamsport boysle left Tues
day for the big harvest. fields of Eastern
Dakota. The party consisted of Nelson
and Arthur Chesley. Billy Baxter, aud
Nicholas and William Graham. Col.
Kelly's mules were also in the procession.
III is to be hoped that the largely signed
petition recently sent to the department.,
asking that the Danbury mail route be
extended to Winchester, will be granted.
This would give a complete line from
Williamsport to Westield, Ill the Holland
Settlement.
Horseman Higbee has ceased his .regu.
lar trips to Wllliamsport for the season,
but will be here with brilliant" on the
18th and 9th of August. Mr.. II. has
done very we'll in this nelghborhood, and
by his pleasant, gentlemanly manner has
made many friends.
A herd of horses belonging to August
Beisigl was in town the fore part of the
week. The horses were from the west,
and there were many good ones. They
left for Napoleon on Wednesday fore
noon. There objective point is Ashley.
in Mcintosh county.
Our correspondents should always be
careful to give u little extra attention to
the writing of proper names. Make 'em
plain. A printer can generally "get the
hang of almost anything in the writing
line but when 1t comes to unfamiliar
names that are not plainly written he's
cup stump"
There is no line Of goods sold Ill which
the public is so little posted regarding
values as that of Drugs. For this reason
the buyer should always deal where be
knows he will get the worth of hts money.
! And we have never heard citizen of
Emmons County complain of his treat
ment by Dunn s. Co., Bismarck.
Attorney Lynn. of Winchester, made q
trip to Eureka the fore part Of the week.
He was accompanied by Messrs. Klingln.
N smith, Charley Cronk, and one OF two
others whose names we did not learn.

objective point was the harvest fields Of
4 Brown county. Wallace Petrie will leave
i for. that county next week.
County Clerk Herrick has received a
fwell-made photograph of Baby Carl, who
4 is now acting as Dakota boomer by
Il showing the people of Lapeer, Mich,
that q perfect grade of wheat is not the
/ only frst-class crop raised IN the Great
/ Disfranchised. The information also
h comes that the young Dakotan must now
r nourish his system by the use of his teeth,
\ same as other people.
George Jennings, the Bismarck grocer,
whose store is on the corner of Main and
Fifth streets, Is building up splendid
} reputation for fair dealing among the
people of the Missouri Slope. And one
} reason therefor is that he keeps fresh
and pure stock at all times and his prices
are reasonable. Tho well-known firm OF
McCrory & Co., butchers and genera
meat~dealers. are in the same building
: The RECORD family went out to Brock
4 vile last Sunday as the guests of Mr.. ant
Mrs. Brock: We found the crops on,
that way looking we'll, Mr.. B. field OF
wheat showing up in particularly hne
II shape. Romey has quite herd of horscl

The party ct the schoolhouse last Fri
4 day night was slmply--huge. We hav'
h been roofing around in the big dictionar,
for three and four ply words with which
4 to give II proper description but they
"ain't thar" We will simply state, o.
' state simply (as the devil has traded th,
4 Office grammar for marbles, we are un
1 able to say which is correct) that there
\ were about sevsnty-f1ve pleasant and so
i ciable people present that Mr.. Higbee
{ furnished good music; that Miss Smalle,
presided at the organ that Will Albrfgh
a kindly assisted with his guitar th at fire.
quently three sets were on the floor a.
n one time; that good supper was served
that all enjoyed themselves, and that nj
one, on his way home, had reason to b<
', "afraid OF the dark" for the dark hat
gone Indeed. az to attendance and en-.
