Yes, we're doing good business in

Col. Hawkes. got letter from
George to-day, and he says they are
having II grand winter ut Salt Lake.
No cold weather ut all. And I

Peter kIoeppel If my vote would
sweep liquor from the country, I
would give it chccrfully. But it is
nonsense to talk about lcgislating

desires OF human family. The
only remedy, am convinced, is
strict government of its use. Let
it bear its share Of public treasury

Eugene l,ischard--T trouble
with Wahpeton is, there is to much
of II disposition among our business
