Ing to encampment go to Boyd's and

The election of school board direc-
tors in Langdon and Hope townships
made things quite lively last Tuesday.
We are given to understand that
Milton has decided to allow the eagle
to scream on the Fourth. They will
doubtless put up an attractive and in
teresting program for that day.
Three weeks more school and then
the summer vacation. This will be
hailed with delight by teachers
and pupils, both of whom find it hard
to apply themselves to study this warm
sultry weather.
1t is understood to be the intention
of Capt. Chisholm, Of Co. E., not to ex-
cuse any member of the company from
attending the encampment. No par
TALLY will be shown and every man
must make preparations to go.
This has been convention week again.
The past two days the Sunday school
teachers ofCavalier county have gather

Quintin Blair was in from Mazda on
Monday and dropped in to inform us
that he was greatly astonished to find
out that the independent had placed
bis name on their county committee.
He claims that it was done without his
knowledge OF consent and thinks it
must have been mistake. Mr.. Blair
is one of the old-time dyedin- the wool
democrats and is aversed to having bis
friends think that he is-in the middle
of the road.
The election of school officials last
Tuesday passed off very quietly, except
in instances where local rivalry ex-
listed relative to the position of school
director. Superintendent Fox is again
returned to fill the Office he has so ably
conducted for several years past and
on this occasion without the slightest
opposition which speaks highly OF the
people IS opinion of his manner of con-
Quoting the duties of his office. We
have been unable to obtain the figures
of the vote cast in the different pre-
cincts but will give the official returns
in next weeks issue.
A few more days and the boys OF Co.
E. leave for the encampmenta at James
town. This year we send as well
dressed and we'll drilled set Of men
as any company in the state. The
company and its efficient staff OF
officers have shown an eagerness to be
foremost in all pertaining to good
soldiery that is very commendable.
There will doubtless be numerous IN
stances among the rank and file OF the
company were most affecting leave
taking will he enacted between the
brave soldier and proverbal "Girl that
I left behind me.'
Some twenty-five members of the

of future usefulness. The courteous
and hospitable reception that was
