We are having quite a number
of inquiries for farms for sale
and as soon as winter breaks,
quite number OF strangers will
visit the Prairie with view to
purchasing, We would advise
all who have farms to sell to list
the same at once, as much will
depend upon their early listing
for early sales.
On account of advertising
coming in late, our local page
was SO full as to crowd out many
locals we wished to run. We
have now added three columns
of reading matter to our fourth
page which will in future give
our patrons the full quota of
news matter and our usual ad-
vertising space.
E. Ellis and J. J, Shoner of
Pomeroy and j. Anderson of CAT
ton, SouthDakota, passed through
town the first of the week. These
gentlemen are going to Salmon
river to work on the placer claims
there, and as soon as the winter
breaks, will go on to Elk City
where they will develop their
quartz claims near that place.
Last week Pat Surtaville, an
old and much respected gentle
man of this place, departed for
old Ireland where he has some
business matters to attend to-.
Mr.. s. will be away a couple of
months, when he will return to
Cottonwood. He has invested
in Cottonwood real estate and
will make considerable improve
ment on same.
We would request correspon-
dents to have their communica-
tions reach us as early in the
week as possible-not later than
Wednesday evening-if they de-
sire them to appear in the next
issue. Every week we are COM
PEELED to either lay over or throw
out good communications simply
because they are too late to be
put in that issue.
