F. E. Renaud, of Olga, and F. E. B.
Mercer shipped Car load of sheep to
the st. Paul markets on Saturday. Mr..
Renaud accompanied the flock, which

The theatrical concert under the
auspices of the Langdon city band, to
be given on Thanksgiving evening,

Rob't McGruer, who will be remem-
bered by many of our readers as for
mer resident Of this city, is back from

and other friends, to whom he never

Here is a piece of news that will
bring joy to the hearts of skaters. Ed.
Evans, our popular drayman, has deci-
ded to build an ice rink, and yesterday
began hauling lumber for that purpose.
The new rink will occupy the site of
the one erected last winter, but will be
much larger 4Ox150 feet-and fixed up
much more comfortably for spectators.
A band stand will. be built at one end
and separate ante room for ladies
will be provided. We bespeak for Mr..
Evans, a liberal patronage from our
citizens, and all lovers of this popular
amusement will join US in the hope
that the enterprise will prove fnanci-
ally profitable to the owner.
