are Observation-Disclosures expansion,
OF course-and as Bro. McGahan has
come into the party fold-in good
faith-he's entitled to recognition, and
the Inter-O Ocean is glad to see the
commissioners exhibit good statesman
ship by extending their arms-and
taking him in.
I want to turn my stock of blankets

Mrs. Rev. G. Turner and youngest
daughter, Miss Elsie, left on No. 4
Thursday for Buffalo, N. Y, where the
young lady will attend st. Margaret's
school for two years. Mr.. Turner will
visit her daughter, Mrs. John B. Allgeo,
at Simcoe, Ontario, for q couple Of
months. Owing to the train being so
very late on Thursday Mrs. Turner
and Elsie will not reach Buffalo until
Monday, but this will give them an
opportunity of spending a day with
Mrs. Allgeo. Their many friends wish
for them a very pleasant trip and a
safe return.

George Wheeler, who farms aquarter
section of land about five miles east of
town, was in the city Saturday and
called at the Inter- Ocean office to pay
a years subscription in advance. Mr..
Wheeler has been taking the Inter
Ocean for fifteen years-was n of
the first subscribers and couldn't keep
house without it now-nohow. What
a wonderful change these old settlers
have witnessed i'll the development Of
this country during the past fifteen or
eighteen years. There was not even a
shack where the flourishing city of
Devils Lake now stands when Mr..
Wheeler settled upon his present
homestead. The nearest railroad
point was Larimore from which place
all necessities had to be hauled by
teams. A lot of settlers came in the
same year and took up land and each
one was confident that when the road
was finally pushed west a town would
spring up on his claim. When j.. j.
Hill came out, however, and stopped
over night with Mr. Wheeler-the
stuff was off. Everybody was con-
graduating the lucky s~ettler-who
would soon be selling town lots from
his quarter section. But there was
Col. Uline squatting on the present
townsite Of Devils Lakeland not say
ing a word to anybody-but just saw
ing wood. Mr.. Wheeler tells an inter-
esting story of those early days. He
says the soil here is of the finest; that
in order to get the best results more
care must be taken in blowing. He
thinks the blowing down last fall was
the best during all his experience here
and he looks for great results next
fall.
The best way to prevent a bad cold
is to have a sure remedy in the house
that will knock it when the first
symptoms appear. Drop into Hors-
mans drug store and get q bottle Of
Browns Cough Syrup, and take 1t
home with you. It pays to be on the
! safe side.
