A Blast From the Prohibition Bugle.

The following circular, dated Cassel-
ton March 16, and signed by the temper
ance committee of North Dakota, indi-
Gates that the prohib1tionists will make
fight for the election of delegates to the
constitutional convention who are in
favor of constitutional prohibition. The
circular reads as follows:
The time is at hand when the Dakotas
are to be honored with statehood, and
every lover of freedom should stand fear
lessly by his colors, and defend his home,
unifylng all our urforces-studiously avoid
ing all political lines and party distinc-
tiOns.
Already the bugle blast has called
South Dakotians into line, and shall we
not fall into line and rescue our own
North Dakota? Things are in shape
to push"-towards constitutional pro-
hibition of the liquor traffic; therefore
we urge all persons who are interested
in the prosperity of the territory to rally
their forces and redeem the state from
the curse of license. This is the auspic-
ious year in her history, and you must
arouse the public conscience by assiduous
agitation, and in no better way can this
be accomplished than through systematic
organizations in every county and town
ship. therefore, we ask that each county
hold mass convention at once to devise
ways and means to organize more
thoroughly for the conflict. Let the
people hold public meetings., distribute
literature, and seek in every way to in
huence the masses, so that when the final
crisis comes they may be able to stand in
an unwaverng phalanx and push the
battle to the very rateS.'

At jamestown.

A crowd numbering several hundred
were assembled at the depot to greet the
governor. He was met at the door of the
car by the special committee appointed
for that purpose, consisting of Mayor
Allen, Hon. johnson Nickeus and Hon.
E. p. Wells. No formal order was OBJ
served by the procession which escorted
HIM to the Gladstone, where the recep
tion was held.
The members of the general reception
committee were first introduced to the
governor and afterwards took positions
near h1m where they could aid in introduce
ing their fellow citizens. A stream which
seemed as if it would never come to an
end. then flowed past the governor shak
Ing hands and exchanging a few pleasant
words with each. While the hand shak-
ing was going on the orchestra which
was stationed in the corridor played a
number of selections. The number who
were presented to the governor is vari-
ously estimated at from five 70 eight
hundred. A large number of ladies were
present.
THE GOVERNORS SPEECH.
After more music by the orchestra,
Governor Mellette was introduced by
Hon. johnson Nickeus, and spoke as
follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen, and Fellow
Citizens of Dakota:-1t is deeply graft
{h1 Ia 0f 10 y~t
seem so well satisfied with the action
taken by President Harrison. l cannot
belp but think that this satisfaction is
largely caused by the fact that | shall
be the last appointive governor that Will
ever curse Dakota. Another great reason
for satisfaction is that my term will nee
essarily be brief.
In very short time you will be able
TO exercise all the rights of free born
American citizens, you will have the right
to nominate and elect your own governor
and state officers. More than this, you
will no longer be denied the right to
your fair share in the councils of the ma
tion, YOU will no longer be obliged to
submit to the injustice of having to look
on while other men make your laws and
spend your taxes. You have been de
MED this right for years, but at last we are
in sight of the promised land. We feel
that we shall soon be out of the wilder
ness, where we have wandered, 10. these
many years.
The two great states of North and
South Dakota will soon be able to take
their proper place IN the councils OF the
! nation, and that place will not be in the
rear ranks either. We have been obliged
to be content with sending one delegate
| to represent us III congress, and even he
was denied the right to cast a vote on
orr behalf, and could merely speak on
matters which concerned us. With this
joyful prospect in view, it is no wonder
| that we should rejoice and be glad.
We have experienced many evils re-
| sultinc from the lack of self government,
| but we have learned some good lessons
| from it. We have waited long for the
boon of statehood, but it has taught us
patience and perseverance,. 1t has taught

OBITUARY.

My mother, Mrs. SaIlie O'Neal, was
born March 30, 1909. Her maiden name
was Scuyres. She was married to nv
father, w. A. O'Neal, August q, 1921.
She protested religion and united with
the Primitive Baptist church about fifty
five years ago. Thirty years since she
changed her membership to the Presby-
terrain church, of which she remained a
devoted member till June 10, 1889, when
she was transferred to the church above.
where Christian Baptists, Presbyterians
and Methodists are one in Christ Jesus.
My mother was stricken with paralysis
about two years ago, and for many weary
months was as helpless as a child. For
the last eight weeks she lived on coffee
alone. or rather the cream and sugar con-
tanned III the same. She was patient and
perfectly resigned all through her long
sickness. We miss her so much from our
home, but are satisfied that our loss is
her eternal gain. She was the mother of
thirteen children, twelve OF us left to
mourn her departure. May we initiate
her godly example, aud meet her in her
everlasting home. Rosa RrcGIN.

Montgomery School Exhibition

Montgomery School Exhibition.
Editor Colfar Chronicle:
On Friday, the 9TH of July, the
Montgomery school session closed,
and at night the school gave an
exhibition which was well attended,
and proved very enjoyable affair.
The scholars acquitted themselves
in manner which brought out
loud applause. and they scored a
success in every particular. The
young teacher, Miss Eva Mccain,
has made decided success of this
her first effort at teaching.
The programme consisted of
charades, tableau, recitations, songs,
essays and Duets, both vocal and
instrumental The humorous, grave,
pathetic and patriotic were nicely
blended, and as school exhibition
it was satisfactory to all concerned.
Many of the pupils showed, besides
careful training, considerable talent
in the different lines.
In addition to music upon the
piano by the young ladies, an inn
promptu string band, composed of
Messrs. Harrison, Andrews, Jones,
Etheridge and Bernstein, also dis
coursed sweet music.
The interest of the scholars has
been kept up and pleasant rivalry
encouraged by the promise of re-
ward, which was handsomely full
filed by the presentation of medals
at the close of the exhibition. The
finest medal was for scholarship
and department. and resulted in q
tie between Master Lawrence Nc
Cain and Miss Octavia Wynn, but
the knot was cut by Master Law
renee who waived his rights in
favor of Miss Octavia. His gen.
crosby met with suitable reward
when the local school board ordered
a duplicate medal for him. The
penmanship medal was awarded to
Miss Bertha Bernstein, for greatest
improvement in writing during the
term. Both medals are of gold.
suitably engraved, handsome and
appropriate reward of merit.
After the performance the young
folks enjoyed a dance at the resi-
dence of DIR. T. j. Harrison, which
lasted long after We scribe was fast
asleep. Yours, JOHN.

In a late trip through the interior
of this parish, with Mr.. r. S. Cam
eron for a partner, we attended the
meeting of the Grant parish farm
ers' union, had an opportunity to
observe the crops and talk with the
people, and enjoyed the outing
generally. Everybody is in good
spirits over the crop prospects,
plenty of corn being already an
assured fact while cotton bids fair
to make over an average yield.
