Threshing liens at this Office.
Indian summer days have arrived.
Wheat is going up some. Let her
go Gallagher!
A fresh coat of paint is being applied
to the Columbia hotel this week.
Only few loads of new wheat have
been marketed and it has gone in the
No. Northern grade.
Veterinary Turcot will visit Lang
don again on the Goth inst, and will
remain about three weeks.
A. few stray "h's'' have been found
scattered around town since the de-
parture Of our English visitors.
Over one hundred men have arrived
in town this week looking for work
with the different threshing crews.
A per cent penalty attaches to
taxes not paid before October 1st.
You have just three weeks more Of
grace.
The abundant crops of Cavalier
county should enable some Of our
subscribers to pay up their old indebt-
edness to the printer.
Subscribers, "catch on' to our club
bling announcement on the last page,
1t is farm paper that all should have
Call and examine sample copy.
There were seven applicants for
teachers certificates at the eXamina-
ton last Friday. All were successful
in obtaining permission to teach.
Wednesday, September 9th, will be
Opening Day at Salters & Taylor's new
studio. Babies photographed free On
that day. Everybody come and bring
your baby.
Word was received in town Monday
that the safe in Trotter Bros; store in
Osnabrock was cracked by gang Of
safe breakers Sunday night. No par
ticulars have been learned.
Wheat reached fifty cents Mon
day afternoon which is quite an
event of itself, but the most interesting
part Of it is that Hans Bjornerud will
have to buy Tom Burke a $500 hat.
Several threshing rigs from Mime
sofa have been shipped in here this
week. Each was accompanied by a
full crew Of men and tits quite probable
that the supply now fills the demand.
Considerable complaint is being made
around town regarding the damage
sustained by street crossing from the
threshing rigs. There is scarcely a
crossing in the city that has not been
injured to some extent.
The city "dads'' at their meeting
last Wednesday evening are to be con-
graduated on appointing Geo. Nulph
as night watch. George is not only
sober and eagle-eyed Waterman but
is also terror to hobo element.
Rev. G. NJ. Rees: That rumor pub
lished in your paper concerning the ex-
tension of the road in the spring is
slightly off. 1 got letter from the
officials in st Paul recently, in which
they stated that nothing definite had
been arrived at-they made no promises
whatever.
Capt. Chi sholm: Company E. has
received some of their new outfit. We
have quantity of campaign hats, and
leggins, haversacks and blanket bags.
Some of the boys are disappointed as
they looked for a new uniform for
each member Of the company.
For some weeks past the mails Of
this neighborhood have been loaded
down with circulars sent out by the
renowned firm, Montgomery, Ward &
Co. The fact that the harvest season
is with us tends to make this firm put
forth an extra effort to draw money
out of small communities that should
be left with our home merchants.
They eXpend thousands Of dollars in
this manner and reap big returns.
There are merchants at home, here
who have got the idea that they are so
well known that they don't need to
advertise. 1t is natural that unless an
effort is put forth By home tradesman
to counterfeit this that thousands of
dollars will be sent to Montgomery
Ward & Co., that should be left right
here in Langdon. This big firm is
we'll known in almost every house hold
in Cavalier county and yet they do not
quit reminding people here that they
are still on deck. When business
man gets the notion in his head that
he don't need to advertise he might as
well shutnp shop.
