"A. +. Turrill, Of Fauston, called
this week to enquire why he did not
receive his paper regularly. We are
very sorry when the papers do not
reach our subscribers. But with the
precautions taken in our office we
think the trouble is often to be found
elsewhere. br. Turrlll is one Of our
oldest and most valuable subscribers,
and be may rest assured we shall do
olir best to send him his weekly batch
of news on time.
We regret very much that we were
unable to accept the kind invitation to
eat Thanksgiving turkey with Mr.. and
Mrs. Houseman. Being with the
Railroad surveying party our work
brought us that dry to Mr.. Harm
ston's where we raiied Mr.. Harmston's
larder and helped demolish couple Of
fine turkeys and did justice to the
abundant supply of other eatables also.
What Was Harmston's loss was House
mans gain.
Marion Harmston and wife, CT
Harmony township, have sought the
Sunny South" to spend the winter
Mrs. llarmston is now in Grant county
Nebraska, and Marion in Griflinsvllle
Iowa. The Herald and the good wishes
of the HERALD family follow them, and
we can't help wondering whether they
will see as many sunny days, really
nice, fine, sunny winter days, as will
we who are "holding the fort" IN the
frozen north-land.
| There was much talk on the streets
last week about suit begun by Adam
West against u. f. Harmston for set
Element for work on the recent rail-
road survey. MIR. West claimed that
Harmston owed him nearly $50. Mr.
Harmston says he has not had final
settlement with the Company, and SO
far as we know, no member Of the
party has as yet received a settle
mentin full. There rethose who be
| lieye that the salt was broughtin order
to hinder the survey, because Mr.. West
| was notin the last party, Still WE can
hardly believe that anyone would be SO
contemplate as to attempt to hinder
a public enterprise simply to crafty a
personal spite.
