'uBLlsHED EVERY FRIDAY EVENING
PERCY r. TRUBSHAw,
EDITOR AND PUBLISHER

Ex-senator Geo. E. Spencer, is in
New York and expresses confidence
that the North Dakota legislature to
be elected will be favorable to his
lottery project.-New Orleans Daily
Item of May 9th.
Voters of Gnggs county take the
above item into consideration! Ina
short time you will be called upon to
vote for two representatives and one
senator to represent your district in
the state legislature. Do you want
this gigantic octopus to control the
Legislature? Do you want this legis-
lative district to be subject to the
beck and call of this bee hive of in
famy-the Louisiana State Lottery
Company? Do you want business
hampered by licensing this gigantic
fraud for paltry few thousand dol
lars year? Do you want the credit
of your state broken down by letting
it be run by gang of gamblers, or
do you want the name and honor of
North Dakota to stand as tower of
pride among the sister states of the
union who have repudiated this
mammoth football of corruption that
the lottery company are trying to
kick through the legislative goal of
North Dakota. IT you prefer the
latter, attend every political meeting,
caucus or convention that is held in
the county, and throttle all attempts
to elect delegates favorable to this
Python that is trying to get hold in
this state for the purpose of crushing
out our honor and draining the
pocketbooks OF her people, and lei
us elect square men to the legislature,
men whose honor and integrity |:
unquestioned, and men that we know
will not sell out to this corporation.
After looking at this important ques.
ton thoroughly, and then taking into
consideration the close shave thai
the state had of having this octopus
clinging to it, our stomach revolts-
it is nauseating. Look well to YOU
fences. The newspapers favorable
to the lottery are getting tired o
hearing us fellows "cry down" thi
evil, but the only way to get rid of i
is to kill it. We are getting tired o
it too, and the sooner it is buried
the better. So lay on MacDuff.

WILLOW.

We have finished seeding wheat, and
are now sowing rye. Have barley, flax
and some oats yet to seed. Hope to be
all done by the 1st of June. Our
neighbors say that it is rather late to be
seeding but it looks to me as if we were
ahead of the season yet.
The occasional sprinkles we have had
is all that has kept our faith in having
crop this season from fading cut en-
tirely, and think by braclng up we
shall be able to hold ON to our faith OF
having a. harvest. Until about the
fourth of July, if by that time we
haven't had some good, soaking rains,
we shall give up hoping for q crop this
year. Though by the way, O.S.P's.

much needed rain, on both the just and
unjust How is it O. S., did you make
