En-. COURIER: As seldom any.
thing is seen in the COURIER from
this meek o the woods" few lines
now may not seem extravagant.
The holidays for the season of SO
and 80 may now be considered to
be at an end. The old custom Of
celebrating Christmas thirteen days
still clings to some of the old scan
danavians and hence some have
been 10th to do any work until the
close Of the week Of prayer which
has been generally observed here.
People no longer comment on the
nice winter we are having. The O.
pinion seems to be settled that Of
course it must continue. With cat
tie and horses in the stalk fields,
and hogs at the COR crib door it is
difficult for the farmers to get suf-
ficient exercise. With 60 much
leisure on our hands would it not
be a.good idea to do something for
our mutual interest. We should
have a number of farmers alliances.
Why not work it up now2 Union
County farmers are certainly very
far behind. With upwards Of 300
alliances in Dakota, nearly all or
ganized the last two years, why
should this county be without repre-
sentation. Then our legislature is in
session and now is the time to make
our wants known through petitions
and we can tell whether our repre-
sentatives care for our interests.

darkling, treacherous sea, al some
tell us, we shall hug the shore, climb

say that the goody-goody ones OF
