"A. w. Sheets, of the Todd County
Argus was among the newspaper men
at the editorial convention. Mr.. Sheets
desired to apply Editor JEWELS remarks
to the effect chat wheat in North Dako- |
ia had such a stand that heavy SLOUGH
hat would not bend the straw" to every
piece of wheat in Todd county. II have
never seen such a beautiful picture of GER
cal growth as can be seen in Todd and
other counties in the northern portion of
the state to-day" concluded the rural
editor.-[T Tribune.
The four and half per cent bonds
held by the First National Bank of this
city to secure circulation amounting to
$4,000, are about to become due, and
the bank was given the option of receiv-
ing the money or extending the bonds
indefinitely at two per cent, and accepted
the latter proposition. Had the bank
taken the moneyit would have been com
PEELED to purchase other bonds in like
sum, and at good round premium.
Certainly, the credit of the country is
good when the banks will lend it money
at two per cent.
Someone either through ignorance,
foolishness or meaness, has circulated
report that grasshoppers are at work in
Todd county, and the report seems to be
gaining considerable attention in locali-
ties where parties are looking this way
for new homes. For several years there
have been exaggerated reports regarding
the grasshoppersin other counties north
west of ms, but we have not yet heard OF
any in this county, nor near enough to
cause any great alarm. If the plaguey
'hoppers were here we should certainly
say so; and while they are not here we
would like to have no false reports.
