Correspondence of the Record
noticed in last weeks RECORD in the
Livona correspondence the following:
"The stage driver from the north yester-
day reported that at & O'clock that morn
ing the thermometer registered IS below
zero" 1t should have read ''25 below zero"
&C. II. Bumstead, formerly of Winches-
ter, who has been in Chicago for the past
year, came down on visit to Emmons
county friends Friday of last week. un.
derstand Mr.. Bumstead will visit his ranch
at Winchester before going back to Chi
cago. was informed that since his wife
and family have been in Chicago they
have been in very poor health, and that Mr..
B. will will remove from there to Bismarck.
....John Baker and John Postle attended
the dance at Winchester Friday night. The
organ and the violin were the musical in
sruments used, and, as Tommie Jones, of
Winchester, fingered the latter, there is no
doubt but what the music was good. Both
Johns report very pleasant time d. &,
Sites, James Burbage and George Suverly
took in Warren TayIor's birthday dance
at Glencoe. George and Mr.. Brcwn, OF
Glencoe, furnished the music, and the
dancing was kept up until time to "Go
home with the girls in the morn
ing" Over 40 numbers were sold,
and the occasion will long be re-
membered by those who were present
rs one of the happiest of tho season.
Warren has reached that age which most
boys look eagerly forward to, the age of
manhood. =. Mail carrier VIM. Douglas
made business trip to Williamsport last
Thursday -. Billy Baxter is now working
in the interest of Nels White of Bismarck,
and went down To Yates with a big load
of freight last Friday: Postmaster Beech
of Hampton passed through Livona OH
his way to Glencoe Friday last. He and
Mr.. Bumstead are old friends and he went
up as far as Glencoe for the latter named
gentleman, who had came down from Bis
marck by stage. -. Your correspondent
was informed that Mr.. John Whitaker of
this school township, sold his claim, which
is miles north of Livona. did not learn
what price Mr.. Whitaker received, but
one thing is certain, and that is, that he
will be greatly missed by his host of En-
mons county friends. He is an old-timer,
and has lived along the river for perhaps
IL years. Some say that he will move to
the opposite side of the river, Tin Morton
county, as soon as spring opens The
editors many friends in this vicinity were
sorry to learn that the county board had
knocked him out on county printing. Few
men could get up a better paper
under the same circumstances than he
has, and l am sure he has always
doomed the county in every way possible.
Peter Scheuer of Clayton, Fred l.. Whit
tier of Hampton, and Chas. Mcintyre of
Livona were a jolly trio that left this burg
bound for the capital city yesterday morn.
ing. -. Prohibition has gone into effect.
Every saloon in Bismarck is reported
closed, and drink cannot be had for love
or money. "Set 'em up, boys.". Mrs
Kelley is slightly indisposed. M. II. An
gevine, wife and Miss Mildred Voolfolk
the latter's sister, passed through Livona
enroute for Standing Rock on Mondays
down STAGE. I'D. Joseph Kalberer OF
Williamsport is down to the river hauling
out green and dry wood. Martin Appert
is also here, and both gentlemen are
"batching it." They haul most of their
wood from across the river.
