Painted Woods Pencilings. 30
PAINTED WOODS, Aug. 3, 1S9l.-[Spe-
cial correspondence. Rev. NJ. Spang-
berg, the Lutheran minister from

tentive congregation.
Miss Jessamine Slaughter's school
gave a literary program the last Friday

Mrs. Magnusson and son and Miss
Hall, who have been visiting Mr.. and
Mrs. S. A. Peterson, left for Duluth,
Mimi, last week.
Mr.. Hans Nygaard, our obliging mail
carrier, was married last week to Miss

VIM. Clarke of Menoken was in
Painted Woods last Tuesday.
Mrs. VIM. Crofte and children, who
have been spending the summer with
Mrs. w. H. H. Mercer, left for their

Mr.. John A. Stoyell passed through
here on his way to Washburn to engage

MIR. Burnside of South Dakota, Mr..

G. Staley of Coal Harbor were in Painted
Woods last week.
John j. Nichols of Coal Harbor passed
through Painted Woods last Sunday.
Five Indian wagons went through
here Sunday and returned Tuesday Just
piled up with all kinds of merchandise
and freight.
Mr.. Matthias Brown has some fine
looking rye just ready to harvest. -
Painted Woods as usual is way ahead
on vegetables and grain.
Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Danielson have
some of the largest cabbages ever seen.
Mr.. VIM. Brown has some immense rad
ishes as large as turnips. Mr.. Holm has
corn almost ready with roasting ears.
Mr.. Oliver Peterson and Commissioner
johnson and MI. Damstrom have some
splendid looking wheat. MI. Joe Brown
has some very pathetic onions and so on
ad infnitum. The grain crops never
looked better, thanks to the copious
rain showers of the season.
The beet crop, however, will be a fail
ure, as the mosquitoes have been so vo-
racious that they over sucked the blood
out of the unfortunate vegetables.
Farmers have been haying on Mos
quitoe bottom, but they have had to do
SO by aid of smudges. We had hopes
that the tremendous shower Of Friday
would drown the mosquitoes. But still
they come, singing their battle cry of
victory or death, ten thousands to where
there were a thousand before.
Austin Logan of Bismarck was in
Painted Woods last Monday looking for
some stray stock.
DR.. and Mrs. Slaughter, Miss Rose and
Lee we're visiting Miss Jessie, our school
teacher, last Saturday and Sunday from
Naughton township. They went home
by way Of Slaughter.
Hon. John Sutherland has been driving
the mail while his mail carrier was en-
gagged elsewhere.
Anumber of ladies met at Mr.. and
Mrs. John A. Johnson's to sew for the
church last Thursday.
The atmosphere was very smoky and
hazy last week. Probably a prairie fire
burning somewhere.
Charles Holm has been assisting Ole
Olsen in the harvest field.
Jas. Burghum drove a herd of horses
through here from Hancock last Sun
day.
Eureka! We have discovered what
caused the heavy rains of this section!
The mosquitoes have been so numerous
this season that smudges have been kept
constantly burning everywhere. Now
every scientist knows that dense volumes
of smoke will produce rain showers, as
proven in the war of the Rebellion. So
if we had had no mosquitoes there would
have been no need CT smudges, and con-
sequently no rain. The mosquitoes "were
blessings in disguise" See?
