Mrs. Raymond of the Irving House, a

clean, wholesome and prettily romantic
story regarding young woman who had
been employed in her establishment in
the capacity of cham bermaid.
Mrs. Raymond at first appeared sur.
prised and unwilling to speak of the mat
tsr, but being assured that many of the
facts in the case were already known and
that they would be published, consented
to tell what she knew OF the matter, stat
ing that an accurate account of the good
fortune that had come to one in whom
she was interested was decidedly prefer
able to a garbled one. Mrs. Raymond
begged that nothing should be added to
the simple story to make it appear sensa-
tional, for, she ADDED, "the subject is an
educated and keenly sensitive little body.
dnd would not have her feelings hurt
for anything With this admonition
the lady told the following interesting

Every once in a while the News
has noticed by exchanges that new
paper is to be started in Coopers-
town. 1t would be we'll to thorough
ly understand the condition of the
newspaper field of Griggs county be-
fore entering it with a view of max
ing it financial success. The
county has less than 5000 popula-
tion, and Cooperstown, the county
seat, and only town-with about 100
population. The county printing
to our own knowledge-has not
averaged $500 a year for the past
four years, and the public patronage
to the present journal is not as lumi-
nary that any practical newspaper
man should envy the editor of the
Courier's position. If he does, he
no doubt could purchase the plant
at a reasonable price, and have a
clear field to air his massive brain
and giant intellect-without intrusion
both politically and sensationally,
and feel almost assured there
would be no intrusion IN the field
except probably by a few disgruntled
politicians-aud such political news
paper ventures have seldom ever suc-
ceeded in North Dakota. The
Courier is good enough, and large
enough, for Cooperstown and Griggs
county, and should be literally sup
ported by her business men, and the
paper could then be made better
still. Don't take away the life blood
of one good paper to harbor two ILL.,
supported opes; which would natur-
ally be the Wimbledon
News.
