Remember, we give free to every

the present time.

the valley and cars are becoming more
plentiful.
Some towns have one day each week
which the merchants designate "a
specially good day." Langdon has
none Of these-every day is good-t the
Sabbath included.
Rev. F. M. Wood, of Fargo, occupied
the pulpit in the Presbyterian church
last Sabbath evening and discoursed
eloquently on "Home Missions" to a
large and attentive congregation.
A neighbors' quarrel was up before
Justice Erickson on Monday, but as
such matters are of no particular in
terest to the CoUR1ER-DENIoCRAT it
refrains from further details and COM
ment.
The Plano Manufacturing company
yesterday caused the arrest of Thos.
W. Stewart, of Alma, for disposing of
mortgaged property. His trial is in
progress before Justice Erickson az we
go to press.
The constant drop of water wears
away the hardest stone; the constant
gnaw Of Towser masticates the tough
est bone; the constant wooing lover
carries off the blushing maid. and the
constant advertiser is the one that gets
the trade.
The CoURIER-DEMocRAT barometer
foretells accurately every change in the
weather. The thermometer is just as
accurate in telling how hot or cold it
is. Combined Thermometer and barom-
eter given free with each cash subscrip-
ton to the best newspaper north of the
Forks.
The storm predicted for North Da-
kota by Hicks, the st. Louis prophet,
for Tuesday of this week, failed to
materialize. Instead of raging biz
card we enjoyed balmy sunshiney
day and besides have every evidence
that like weather will continue for
some time to como.
The many friends of Hon. John Bid
lake will be sorry to learn that he is
again experiencing great trouble with
his old affection disease Of the bone
of his right leg. On Monday he left
for ST. Paul where he will undergo a
course Of treatment in one Of the hos
pitale Of that city. We hope to see
him return completely cured.
Russia has prohibited the export Of
wheat. That makes sure the promise
of rise in wheat, but SO far the farmer
has not noticed perceptible differ
once. The speculator hasn't his hands
quite full Of wheat yet. When the
farmer has his hands empty and his
bins, too -then up goes wheat and
into the wheat gamblers pocket goea
the rise.

the Presbyterian church next Thurs
day eYsning Xmas eve. Doors open
1T 7:3o. Ceristmas tree and entertain
