tributions will be solicited from

1t will pay our readers to carefully
read over the ads which appear in
this paper ,very week. Our mer-
chants are fast learning the art of
advertising. They are constantly on
the watchout for bargains for their
customers and when they find one
they tell of it through the columns
of the REPUBLICAN. II will save you
many dollars year by watching
these ads
There is another labor saving ma
chine on the market. 1t is a corn
harvester. The machine is said to
do good work. The corn is cut and
passed along to the binder in an up
right position, and bound standing,
which leaves good square bundle
The machine is said to work well
even in corn that has fallen. Now
Dakota farmers will increase theil
acreage to corn.
DR., Matthews returned last Thurs
day night from an extended trip il
Colorado, where he went 4for his
health, lie is much benefited by
the change OF climate. The doctor
will give the readers of the REPuBL1-
CAN, next week, his views of Colorado
and the Southwest from an agricultu
raj point of view. which will be of es-
pecial interest to those contemplat-
ing going thither, as we'll as to those
who are satisfied with North Dakota.
DR.. Teal met with severe acci-
dent last week, He was called to
Straubville on veterinary case, and
while there attempted to catch a
horse that was loose in a pasture.
He managed to get his arms around
the animals neck when it became
frightened and began to wheel a.
round. Realizing he could not con-
troll the horse he let loose and was
thrown to the ground with such force
as to fracture his right shoulder.
One of our prominent business
firms filled S1OO order for groceries
for thresher near this city last week.
The farmer had sent to eastern cities
to get quotations on goods, and our
home dealers filled the same bill at
less money than was offered by the
eastern house. Let others take no.
tice. Before sending off for goods
give your home merchants chance
to compete with the eastern jobbers.
This is quite boom for Oakes, and
speaks loudly for her merchants
Money talks.
Magoffin g. Son are finding a mar
ket for nearly all the cheese they
manufacture in North and South Da-
kota, but when the quantity on hand
exceeds the demand, they ship tc
Minneapolis, where the Monango
cheese demands the highest of any
in the market. The shrinkage OF
milk is but slight considering the
season of the year, and the number
of COWS gradually but surely increas-
ing. MIR. Magoffin claims that some
people sell Mr.. Kellogg's manufac-
ture as Monango cheese.-Ellendale
