Hon. II. 7. Helgeson in Fargo Forum:
Crops throughout the state this year are very
uneven, oae farmer will have large yield
While his no;ghbor wiIlhaYe nothing In the
southern part of the state crops are farther ad-
VaEced and will yield greater than in any
other section. On the whole this years crop
will be good one, although only about one
half as large as last year. Politics are warm.
ing up some, and the success of the republican
party in North Dakota this year depends en-
tirely on tho action Of tic convention next
week. The claim of the leaders that prps;-
dental year will pull any ticket through we
may put up, consider very erroneous. Tho
condition of politics is entirely different to
what it is in the older states. Our voters cor-
sisting as they do to q large extent of foreign
ers, are not bound by any prejudices to the
republican or any other party, and although
they arc largely inclined towards the grand
old party, unless personal politics are drappud
and tho beat Elon nlaood On the ticket, thero
will be no certainty Of the election. The
thousands OF voters who arc sitting on the
fenco with their eyes In lie direction of the
convention should be carefully considered.

WGIilanS Day,

A mntron stood where two roads met
Ana knew not which one 10 take;
In doubt, she soon began 10 fret
Lest she should error make.
She wanted serious advice,
Authoritative. wisel
She looked ABOUT her once or twice -
The guide post met her eyes.
She read il eagerly and knew
What 1t kindness showed
Away her doubts on swift wings tew--
She took the olner road.
And it was the Minneapolis and St. Louis
Ry. she anxicusly sought out and always will
travel that highway, commonly called the AL

FREDERICKSBURG. Va. Jan. 16.-0wing TO
the extremely bad weather OF the past week
and the great amount OF sickness i has been
quite dull in society circles recently. Several
events some of them of public nature and
others private were 20 have come Oh. but 10

was a great success notwithstanding the draw
backs which caused the postponement OF
some events. WAS the regular meeting Of the
Senior Progressive Euchre Club. This meet
ing was held at the hospitable and elegant
residence OF Mr.. George W. Shepherd on
