Grand Forks Herald: 1t is reported
that Alex Mckenzie has definitely con.
cluded to remove his headquarters to St.
Paul and Minneapolis. Hc will retain

lished herself in Minneapolis with the

T Tho winter term of Williamsport school
closed Friday. Only one school day was
missed during the term, although num-
Der of the children attended from dis
tance of mile and half. And yet some
eastern pcople say that women and chill
dren can't go out of doors during winter
IN Dakota.
There is one thing sure - whether or
not immigration continues to psur into
Dakota, there will be no danger Of the
population decreasing. The birth;ratc
in Dakota is remarkably high. In EN-.
mons County during the past year the
crop was large one, and its SUCCESSORS
prospects are extremely flatterins.
The firm of Dunn s 90. have been in
the drug business in Bismarck for many
years, and during that time they have es-
tablished flrst-class reputation for deal
ing squarely by every one. Most people
in this county know DR.. Dunn personally,
and therefore 1t Is not strange that our
citizens generally deal at his store.
Our friend George Gussner, Bismarcks
jolly Butcher, recently went back on his
bachelor friends and became a benedict.
But that will not prevent him continuing
to supply our citizens with everything to
be found In frst-class market En-.
mons county people should not forget
to call On Mr.. Gussner when in Bismarck.
There Is one grocery house in Bismarck
that is building up splendid reputation
for keeping a large stock of pure goods,
and selling them at live-and.let.livc
prices. Therefore, Emmons County peo-
pie will consult their own interests by
dealing with George jennings, corner of
Main and Fifth streets. McCrory & Co.,
the well-knewn butchers and meat deal
ers, are IN the same building.
LNThe mosquitoes are not very trouble
some as yet Everybody thought old
Winter had abdicated, for good and all,
In favor Of Spring, fortnight ago. But
it seems he changed his mind, for this
week he returned, pushed the gentle
queen of into snow.bank, and re.
mounted the throne. The weather has
been mild and pleasant. More snow has
fallen, but it IS rapidly melting.
Tribune Bismarck is now we'll filled
with visitors from the surrounding coun.
try, Mclean and Emmons counties send
ing large delegations. The citizens of
these counties are mostly young and ag-
gressive, and Bismarck is proud to class
them among her own. They are devel-
oping the country, and are giving to the
Missouri Slope spirit of energy and en-.
terprise which is essential to the rapid
growth Of new country.
