DR.. John Harcourt, Of Steele, was down
this way on professional business last
Wednesday. He is pleasant gentleman
and an able physician. and his practice in
Emmons county is constantly increasing.
Our people know that when called he will

reach the sick-room as quickly as feet
horsedesh can get HIM there.
Notwithstanding the dull times, the
| well-known grocery house of George
Jennings; Main and Fifth streets, con-
tinues to do a good trade, and still keeps
growing in favor with.,the- people who do
business in Bismarck. And the reason

people dealing with him know that his
large stock of goods IS pure and fresh,
and are sold at fair and reasonable prices.
I The Winona base. ball team was unable
I to be present on Friday Of last week. and
Editor Frost. member OF the club, came
up to inform the Williamsport boys OF
the fact. And we will remark just here
that, if the rest of the Winonn lads are
as good all-round players as the young
editor, perhaps it's just as well for our
boys that they didn't come. But Wallace
Petrie and James Parker came up from
Winchester, GIL. Hlgbee from Omio, Leon
Stouder from Sand Greek, and the Chap.
man boys from Dsnbury. Sides were
chosen and game played. At the dance
in the evening there was fair attendance
and good music, and pleasant time is
reported.
