were in town "Wednesday.
1t Is the ali-lmportant thing at this time
TO prepare your fire breaks.
The board OF county commissioners held
their regular session last Monday.
The Ladies Aid Society of tho Congrcga-
tional church will meet at the home of Mrs.
L. L. Thurston next Thursday afternoon.
Some Of The boys were ION a too." Sat
urday night last aud shock things up lively
around town. They5turncd things topsy- -tur-
vey and the streets presented anything but a
peaceful, Sabbath Appearance next morning.
Such occurrences are becoming to frequent
and should DO stopped.
Shock threshng is about completed in
Steele coun!y-indeci thresliiny Of any kind
isrretty well done mp i'll this part oil the
County. Some stack tnreshlng set remains in
the northwestern part of the county, but the
work OF threshiDg intthat part is being rapidly
prosecuted and little more Of This fine weather
will scsit all cnmpltSi!.
Bro. Hunt, of the Tribune, was appointed
by the county commissioners at their session
last Monday rs Clerk Of Court, to fill the un-
expired term NV. A, Winslow, whose resg-
nation was accepted the same day. Bro. Hunt
will have three months term of office, any
way, upon which his friends-the PIONEER
among tile rest-c0ngratulate him.
Tho time OF fighting fros:s has come aud
soon the chilling wintry winds will howl the
sad requin over tho grave OF tho dead, dead
season yet nothing has been heard from the
officers of the Hope alliance in regard to that
annual meeting. Why do they not relieve the
minds OF long suffering public by giving
their reasons for not calling such moeting.
The reports Of dire disasters and great loss
Of property from destructive prairio fires arc
beginning to come in from all over the state.
Would it not be wise precaution for oil in-
terested in the preservation Of their property
to make good fire breaks at once and thereby
lessen the danger OF loss from that source?
Don't pu: it of, but do 50 at once. There il
danger in delay.
Attorney Mcmahon in Fargo Republican
Yes came down from Hope last night to at
tend to some land office business. Politics in
Steele county are beginning TO warm up some
and I think ii!c republican state ticket viii Dt
elected by large majority. Tho farmers
around my home are bnsily engaged in plow
ing and will have most Of it done before il
freezes up. The yield of wheat runs from 6 tc
rs bushels 10 the acre and l think will average
about II bushels Tho spring plowing scemt
to lave yielded better than the blowing of last
fall and late sowing better than the early seed.
ng-contrary to the experience of other
years.
Rev. William Gillespie, OF Forman,
preached two Interesting sermons from The
Congregational pulpit last Sunday to large
congregations. Immediately after tho morn
ing service meeting oftha church members
was held aud it was unanimously decided to
extend TO MI. Gillespie call to the regular
pastorate Of the church. Tho call was OK
tended and tho same accepted by the reverend
gentleman, who will enter uDon his duties in
himself and daughter, will remove to Hope
shortly and take up their residence at the
parsonage. We believe that in Mr.. Gillespie
the pcbple of that congregation have secured
an earnest worker and man who will be
much beloved and respected both as minister
and citizen. The people OF Hope extend
hearty welcome to he aud Ills family.
With the advent Of autumn, people spend
{J,nr OF kn
other season. and It therefore is strictly ncccs
sary for the merchant 10 advertise TO induce
buyers to come to him 10 Lave their wants
supplied. ''Deays arc dangerous, aud tht
man who tells the people OF his goods early
and gives good reasons for asking for thei
custom, will create demand for his wears
and profit accordingly. Customers are shy
aud need considerable coaxing before they Cal
be INDUCED to best0W their patronage unasked
That is one OF tho reasons why they flock t
| the store OF the merchant who advertises. -
Mandan Pioneer.
Tho above is trutll-tho very essence o
truth. It's Illustrated right here in Hope
Tho merchants who are doing the advertising
are tho ones who arc making tho improve
| ments-- this fact none can contradict. The.
are building up their own trade to the polh
where improvements arc necessary In order Il
| carry on ther increasing business aud b!
making such improvements DeDeht tho town
They are tho ones who should and do get th
patronage OF progressive cltizoDs.
