LOCAL.

Mr.. j. X. Brown has been appoint
ed local agent for A. p. Curtin's mu-
sic store.
A deed was filed with the county
clerk last week by which j. z. Was
son OF Gilt Edge conveyed to E. w.
King title to the Key west and Meteor
lodes. Consideration, $500.
From this time forward, unless
other announcement is made, SER
vices will be held in the Presbyterian
church every Sunday morning and
evening at the usual hours. Holy
communion will he celebrated next
Sabbath morning.
G.. w. Cook and wife contemplated
going east Monday to see the Omaha
exposition and also to visit Kansas
relatives, but the severe weather
caused them to delay or possibly
abandon the trip. The commission
ers granted Mr.. Cook 40 days leave.
w. d. Symmes and wife returned
Friday evening from their wedding
trip. They visited a week with Mr..
Symmes' mother in Canada and en-
jOyed the amuselnents and attrac-
lions of Chicago for a fortnight. AS
soon as the furnishings arrive, the
young couple will occupy their new
home on the north side.
In the past four years have you had
business at the Office of the clerk and
recorder, day or night, and not been
able to find c. NJ. Kelly to attend to
your wants? He is one of those Off
GERS who always has his work in
hand, even though he is required to
work twelve hours "a day instead of
nine. Accurate and obliging-the
ideal man for the position is c. M.
Kelly.
w. B. Miner and wife returned Fri
day evening last from Omaha, where
they have spent six weeks enjoying
rest and general recreation, as well
as the Trans-Mississippi exposition.
Mr.. Miners home is in Omaha, which
made the visit one of additional
pleasure. He returns to his position
in the Bank of Fergus County much
refreshed and replete with compli-
ments for the exposition.
Donald Fowler, candidate for as
SCISSOR, ia not losing a moment, but
is steadily working, and every day
we hear predictions of a larger ma
iority for him than at first antici-
pated. Why? Because he has had ex-
perience in the matter of accounts:
because he is thoroughly qualified;
because he is honest and safe. Who
is his opponent? l.. p. Slater. A
gentleman, formerly foreman for the
Fergus Livestock & Land Co., and
now successfully conducting a livery
stable in Lewistown. Between these
men it will not be hard for taxpay-
ers to choose.
Wednesday evening last Walter
Knight and Miss Emma Shea, two
well know and popular young peo-
pie, We're united in matrimony and
are now ensconced in the Hogue
dwelling on Fifth avenue Mr..
Knight came from Great Falls about
a year ago and opened a tailoring
establishment, since which time he
has made friends on every hand and
enjoyed abundant prosperity. Miss
Shea is a daughter of Mrs. William
Medigar of lower Spring creek and
has a host of admirers. Friday even
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Knight were sere-
naded in the primitive fashion. THE
ARGUS extends congratulations.
David Hilger, sheep commissioner
for Fergus county, this week mailed
to every woOlgrower i'm the county,

certain questions relative to the num-
Der of sheep on hand March LIST last

These interrogatories are sent to
