growing crops.

for the first time.

settled localities in Fremont township.
Proceedings of the board of equaliza-
ton and county commissioners crowd out
much interesting local news this week.
Many views of the present war will be
shown here next week at the M. B..
church entertainments by Private Ores
sey.
The finder of Macintosh cape lost
between Langdon and Mt. Carmel will
greatly oblige by leaving same at this
Office.
Local politicians took advantage of the
chance to shake hands with the consti-
tuents of western Cavalier county last
Tuesday.
There will undoubtedly be big crowd
of Langdon folks down at Osnabrock
next Thursday and Friday to take IN the
base ball, foot ball, dancing and other
sports.
How much neat suite of bath rooms
would be appreciated in Langdon these
days. Who has got enterprise enough to
take hold of it? Now don't everybody
speak at once.
There was hot time in the old town
Tuesday with the thermometer at 9l0 IN
the shade, but cold wave struck us in
the evening when the score Of the ball
game at Hannah was learned.
Hannah had it's first big celebration
day on Tuesday and it was of the biggest
and best known in the county. Visitors
from across the line we're there besides
vast crowd of Cavalier county folks from
miles around. Langdon, of course it
sent along full delegation.
John Machon, deputy county auditor,
returns next week to his accustomed
desk in the court house. He left his On
tario home on the 18th and stops off at
Winnipeg few days to takein the sights
at the fair. The health of his mother is
reported as having changed for the better
lately.
The excursion over the ct. Northern
from Langdol to Devils Lake on Sunday
of this week has been declared off. At
late hour yesterday, Jim Hill sent word
to the local promoters that the extent of
traffic on his system at present made it
impossible for him to furnish the equip
ment for the Langdon special to the
Chautauqua. The ct. Northern had
asked for a guarantee of 1925, or ESQ
fares at $3.50 each and those interested
in the excursion had decided that it
could be made go. It is not Langdon
folks that are lacking in enterprise, but
Jim Hill.
Osnabrock's hustling money makers

of H: j. Haskamp's new bank which will

LIST. Across the street is the newly
finished block occupied by F. M. Gull 4
Co., the druggists and take it altogether

on quite, q gaudy front this summer.
