Rev. MIR. Robinson of the Red River
Valley University at Wahpeton preached
at the M. E. church last Sunday to
large audience and proved that the praise
which had preceded him as a speaker
was not wrongly placed. Mr.. Robinson's
chief charm is his originality.
Mr.. Charles O'Hara has leased the
livery barn in the rear of the bank and
opposite this Office and will hereafter
conduct the same as feed and livery
stable. MIR. O'Hara is we'll known as a
good horseman, and anyone leaving
their teams in his charge can be sure of
the best of care.
The weather has been such this week
that one had to meet Uncle Sol half way
with bod full of coal in order to keep
warm. About January 10th or there
abouts we will have to take two or three
hods to keep GOODNESS from arising in
the family.
One Vivatson who keeps small store
at Svold post Office has been arrested on
the charge of blind.pigging. The COM
planning witness is Gujon Bjornson who
was the groom in the charivari party, but
we are reliably informed that the pro-
ceedings were started before that occur
renee and have no connection with it.

Miss Rouse, who has been mission
airy to China and is highly recommended
as an entertaing speaker, will be at the
M. E. church this Friday evening. Ow-
ing to other attractions for the same
evening it has been arranged that the
services at the church will begin at 1880
sharp and will probably close in time for
the other entertainments. Everyone take
notice. The bell will ring twice as usual.
Hallock is in state of quarantine
owing to an epidemic of diphtheria. The
reports from there are very bad and we
hope are exaggerations. Diptheria is
epidemic in several towns in the state
and every parent should take the utmost
care of any sore throat SYMPTOMS among
the children. We wonder if our warm
November was not somewhat responsible
for the outbreaks of diptheria.
1t is with sincere sorrow and regret
that we have to announce the death of
Mrs. James Allen of Bathgate last week.
Mrs. Allen as Miss Maggie Bride was
we'll known in this city where she had
resided with her father Ex-auditor Bride,
and had very large number of friends
and acquaintance in the county who will
deeply sympathise with the bereaved
relatives. She left an infant of a week
old.
Dowmes Dramauc Company are at
Kittson Hall as we go to press and will
also be there this Friday evening. Last

anced company and are well spoken of
by the local press in cities where they
have played. Reserved seats at Shorts.
