there for some time,
Mr.. Ed. Copeland went to Ernest, on

that it was merely visit to old friends
but we have our own surmiScs.
Mr.. VIM. Porter is erecting new
granary i'll anticipation of a bountiful
crop, and from present appearances he
will be able to fill all the room he can
manage to obtain.
This vicinity was visited on Thurs
day night, Aug. s, by one of the worst
electric storms we hare ever seen. 1t
was accompanied by wind which re-
sembled young cyclone, which leveled
the crops considerably, which will make
harvest difficult.
Quite a number of the people of this
vicinity went to South Beaulieu last
Friday to attend the Sunday school
picnic. They report a pleasant time,
although the pleasure OF the day was a
little marred by the heavy rain of the
preceding night and shower during
the day.
Mr.. Robert Morrison, who has been
in the store at Beaulieu for the past
year, has severed his connection with
that institution. We have heard that
it is Rob's intention to start business
for himself in more ways than that of
mercantile pursuits. We are prepar-
ing our congratulatory speech.
MILTON.
Rev. Linton and B. Prom have built
two fine stables which are a fine addi-
ton to the town.
The storms Of last week do not seem
to have done much damage in our Vi
entity. They are signs of a bountiful
harvest.
The Milton school was opened again
Oh Monday for another term, Miss Ing
mundson teacher. Her health we are
glad to say has greatly improved.
DR.. Archer, our esteemed physician,
is meeting with great success in his
protest. His practice is increasing
every day. Some weeks ago he took
the highest certificate of any in the
state at the examination in Grand
Forks. Mrs. Archer is lady of great
social qualities and is held in high es-
TEEN by all the citizens.
The Sunday school at Young is in a
very tlourishing condition. During the
passionate of Rev.R. Hooking, the men,
bership of the Milton Circuit has near
ly doubled. At Milton trained choir
of young people under the genial lead
ership OF Mr.. Powles is doing WELL
The church and parsonage are being
painted at an estimated cost of $50, the
most of which has been raised by sub
scription.
The Methodist Sunday school picnic
held in Mclean grove was success.
| Notwithstanding the stormy weather,
about $50 assembled. A good dinner
was provided. The Milton brass band
was in attendance and rendered a good
supply of music which was highly spo-
ken of by all present. 1t is a good sign
OF the times to see the country and city
uniting together. After all their in
terest is Identical.

the expense of the farmers who put so
much faith in what he tells them.
