GOSSIP AND NOTES.


''Oh for stray old grayback farmer
to look at!'' is the wall of our business
men.
Those who were up with the lark on
Monday morning could make snow
balls.
a serial story entitled "True as
Steel'' commences with this issue.
Read it.
Several games of football have been
played this week. The boys are get
ting down so that they play pretty
stiff game.
Brick layers are again engaged in
building the vault at the rear Of the
bank block for the convenience of the
county officials.
Another Demorest medal contest
may be looked for early next month.
The young folks are already at work
on their declarations.
The assessors are busy listing pro-
perty for the annual tax roll and have
the work we'll advanced.
The citizens of Langdon never had Il
better opportunity to play sick. This
week there are live NJ. DIS, and two
dental surgeons in the city.
The band gave two very fine open air
concerts last week. The sound of mus
ic will bring the people out on the
street every time. Try it again boys.
Twenty yoemen of Cavalier county
received their final citizens papers dur
ing the session Of district court last
week.
1t is feared the heavy winds last
week have done considerable damage
in the way of uncovering the wheat
sown, especially that put in with broad
cast seeders.
The bridge west of town, within the
city limits, will have to receive the at
tention of the street commissioner as
soon as the boys commence to work
out their poll tax.
The parents and friends Of the
school children of Langdon are invited
to attend the exercises that will take
place at the school house tomorrow
friday afternoon.
If you want to lease any hay lands
owned by the state board of education
read over the announcement made
elsewhere in this issue.
The severe winds Of last Thursday
and Friday demolished the grand
stand out on the race track, also wreck
ed number of chimneys and over
threw several out buildings.
A band of half-breeds that are
camped on the bank of the coulie west
of the city are peddling some of their
handwork. They are a dirty lot of
wanderers and none seem anxious to
have them prolong their stay.
Why should not the owners of stall
lions and blooded horses of this county
have a parade in the city some Satur-
day afternoon during the season? The
idea is being carried out with good re-
suits in other portions of the state.
The citizens have raised by subscrip-
ton a fund for the erection of band
stand to be used by our band boys
when giving their open air concerts
this summer. A central location will
be decided upon and the stand erected
at once.
Seeding is practically done in this
county. The acreage sown to wheat
is larger than last season and as to
oats, rye and barley, the acreage will
exceed last years crop. The land is
in splendid condition and the promise
of large crop was never better.
While nothing definite or official has
vet been learned regarding the exact
date Of the presentation Of Between
the Acts" by a company composed
exclusively of local talant, yet it is
generally supposed that it will be put
IN the boards in the near future. Due
notice will be given in our next issue.
It seemed as if every bit of paper OF
any description that had ever become
detached,in the city was blowing in
the streets last Thursday, making il
almost impossible to drive horse OF
the streets. Some one was heard tt
isay that the blowing of the WING
could not be helped, but under certain
conditions there might not be SO mucl
loose paper laying around.
