Ao0' ~
Editor Leader: The people around
Conkling enjoyed Christmas in a very
pleasant way. Having plenty OF coal and
good stoves we kept warm and comfort
able, and in the evening all the neighbors
partook of nice oyster supper at the
residence of James Heath, and spent the
evening in social and pleasant converse
ton. Mr.. Heath and his family being in
pretty good health, seemed to enjoy the
visit of their neighbors very much and
entertained them right royalty. think
all who were there will long remember
with pleasure and satisfaction the enjoy
ment of the evening.
Stock is doing well with very little feed
ing.
Our granaries5 are now, burdened 'wfst
grain, but we hope that next. spring will
relieve them.
Mr.. A. I. Burgum has gone to Cass
county on business, but is expected to re-
turn IN e few days, and may perhaps re-
main in this vicinity for the winter. Mrs.
Tom Burgum is still lingering with con-
sumption in Iowa. and the report comes
to us that she is unable to sit up more
than two hours out of twenty -four.
There have been no religious services at
Conkling during the present month"; and
we are afraid it will be failure this winter.
We have not had snow enough yet to
make sleighing, but we hope it will soon
come.
General good health prevails. We have
plenty of grain and plenty of good fat
portland plenty of good potatoes to go
with it-and we expect to live saucy this
winter, money or no money.

The Old Year and the New.

The year 1891, just closed, has been a
most propitlous and fruitful one for the
people of Mclean county. The harvest
has been bountiful one, stock of every
kind has prospered and multiplied, and a
new era seems to be dawning upon us with
the brilliancy of the rising sun in cloud
less sky. Cheerfulness and content have
come to those who for years have been
disheartened by failures, restless with un-
certainty, and gloomily foreboding ruin
and poverty. Like brave pioneers-like
the revolutionary fathers-they have strug-
gled hard with adversely, but by persever
ance, patient endurance and strong deter
mination, their manly courage-wavering
at times -clung to them, and they have
come out the victors; and Dame Nature
now lavishes her most prolific smiles upon
those who stood firm through these trying
times and SO nobly fought the battle of
life. That the New Year, 1892, will prove
equally fruitful we have every assurance,
and the farmers Throughout the county are
manifesting their faith in another season
of plenty by their preparations for much
larger acreage of crops the coming spring.
That they may reap bountifully of the
fruits of their toll, is the kind wish of the
Leader.
We we're shown this week by our county
of <>f
remembrance to be given by him to a
young lady who was one of his pupils while
he taught his late term of school in this
county. 1t is gift of which the young
lady who is to receive it should feel proud,
viz: gold medal. On one side were
nicely engraven the names of the teacher
and pupil, and on the reverse side we
found engraved the word, "spelling.' -
That souvenir, truly, will speak louder than
words. It cannot be blotted out by the
hand of time. It should awaken an inter-
est in the heart of each scholar of the
county to try and gain that which is purer
than gold and more precious than dia-
monds-wisdom! It will unfold its doors
and you can enter in, if you will only try.
Why cannot each teacher of the county
profit by this example and offer similar
prizes to their pupils? twill make them
more studious, and help them to retain
more perfectly knowledge of the studies
which gained them the prize. May the
young lady who receives the medal ever
press forward to promotion and higher
light. May she ever wear the gift, feeling
that her late teacher appreciated her eff
forts in the struggle for knowledge, and to
show that appreciation gave her that
which she will ever honor.

1t does not pay the farmers of Mclean
county to haul their wheat to Bismarck at
this season of the year. In the first place
the distance, from 40 to 20 miles, is so
great that it requires from four to six days
to make trip, and the bad condition of
the roads-being hilly and slippery-ren-
ders it unsafe, and in fact almost impossi-
BILE, to haul much more than half load.
Taking into consideration the expense of
horse-shoelng and bills on the trip, with
the other condition of things, the farmer
is fortunate indeed who returns with mon
ey enough left in his pocket to pay the
first cost of production. Their only SAL
vation is to wait until the opening of navi-
cation in the spring, when they can sell
their wheat at Washburn and ship it with
out further trouble. Every man, then,
owing for machinery, ETC., will be able to
take up his notes and start in for another
crop Of No. hard undisturbed.
