was : ,-r~-~ uay last week to attend
her. The latest reports are to the effect
that she is getting along fairly we'll.
A big crowd from Bismarck and other
points along the Northern Pacific took
advantage of the cent-a.mile rates and
went last Sunday to visit the soldier boys
In camp at Fargo. People were there
from all over the state, ana tho town was
crowded.
Frank Jaszkowiak and Roy Yeater
we're up home for couple of days the
latter part Of last week. They drilled 322
feet for Dave Ryckman, down near
Westfleld, but did not strike water. At
John Van de vorste's, however, they
were more successful. as a good flow Of
water was reached at depth OF 2O2 feet.
2Lrndlord Rush's new well ie getting to
be very popular. The water is as soft as
rain. water, end the "wimmen folks''
round about Billsport think that clothes
cant be properly washed In any other
well.water. All the deep wells that have
been drilled recently by the Jaszkowiak
outfit have yielded the very best of soft
water.
The Woodmen's dance last Friday
night was fairly we'll attended. Although
there was not big crowd present, those
who attended say that 1t was the best
dance that the Woodmen have yet given
We understand that the society intend to
give another party on the Fourth Of
July, and that no trouble will be spared
10 make 1t the event of the season.
Young Joe Kelley returned from Fargo
last Saturday evening. Joe wanted 10
join the volunteer army and 20 out with
company "a" but he was rejec.ed on
account Of being too light. People who
are disposed to joke the boys who failed
to pass should remember that those who
have been rejected have manifssted Just
as much patriotism as those who have
been accepted, and that in many instances
the former would have made az good sol.
diers as the latter. Every young man
who offers, to 60 to meet the enemies of
his country deserves great credit.
Messrs. Smith and Hesicire, of Burr
Oak, are the boss furniture movers. That
firm brought down from Bismarck, last
week, two big four.horse hay-rack loads
Of household goods for the publisher
Of the Record and neither broke y
single article nor marred piece of fur
niture. Pretty good for . forty.miie
trip, ESPECIALLY where one wagon goes
doN4t9the hubs in . slough and has to
be prfed out The Record man wasn't
present when the wagon sunk In the mud,
and therefore cannot soy whether Frank
and Hezzie we're as careful Of all of the
ten commandments % they were of the
furniture. Some parties who passed by
the mud.hole after the movers had left
claim that several pieces Of u fractured
swear commandment were lying around
In the mud.
