VIM. Kohlmeyer went to the county
seat on Friday.
John McAndrews of Fargo spent few
days here among friends.
The holiday trade here has been fine,
everyone seems determined to be happy
even under adverse conditions.
Henry Geyer has leased both Senator
and Grant Fuller's farms and is now
occupying the senator's residence.
In consequence of the wheat being wet
Harry butcher lost 1000 bushels, being
bin burned bad. It's a severe loss to
Harry and he has lots of sympathy.
Comment has been made freely in the
county press regarding alleged closing of
the Hensel station, some stating that the
receipts did not justify the company
keeping an agent. Such rumor spread
here, remonstrance was forwarded to
the management and a prompt reply
came lack stating the company had no
intention OF Closing the depot. 1t may
be OF interest to state also that the year
just closing mas been the most unre-
munera,ive since opening of Hensel sta
ton, yet the receipts for in and out
freight aggregate $4,000. Now it will
be in order for those papers which gave
us an uncomplimentary notice to set
Hensel right before the public.
i Billy Greenwood brought in carload
of Kinmare, North Dakota, coal. 1t sold
for 81 per ton and went like hot cakes.
Your correspondent can state that it
gives entire satisfaction in ordinary coal
CRATES. There is no comparison between
Minot and Kinmare coal as the latter is
much superior in color, weight, combus-
ton and heating PROPERTIES. Unques-
tionably the Kinmare coal will solve the
fuel problem IN North Dakota, and so
long as this coal will be furnished at a
reasonable price North Dakota should
encourage this home industry and as
much as possible keep our money in our
own state. This is no adj.
Some years ago the Methodist and
Presbyterian congregations of Hensel
secured the old Farmers Alliance driv-
ing shed and with the consent of John
Conmee of the Great Northern Hotel,
Cavalier, it was placed on vacant lot
owned by him. Last week Mr.. Conmee
determined to build an ice house il,
Cavalier and concluded the shed lumber
was just the thing; sent down force who
tore it down preparatory to removing it
However, Willie Newell, Tom Moore
and Arcly Mclean stole march on the
landlord and hauled the material away
The following day Ed Nevers came
down armed with warrant issued by
Justice Pratt at the instance of Mr.. Con.
NEE, for the arrest of the above named,
who did not desire to figure in the courts,
so delivered up the stuff, paid some costs
and the matter was allowed to drop
Those knowing all the circumstances
consider Conmee had no right to appro-
pirate the driving shed to his own private
use, and many would prefer to see the
matter unraveled by court of law.
It's gratifying to those interested to
know that Pembina county in the last
decade has gained over 1000 in popula-
ton, with proportionate increase in all
other statistics, but it would be of moro
interest il we were supplied with de:
tailed report OF what towns and town.
ships show increase and decrease, as
some certainly show decrease, but in
population only. For instance take
Flora township and the late census
shows over 70 less in population than
ten years ago. The same census also
shows "a less farmers than ten years ago
There are larger farms but less farmers

predictions that the older the country
became there would be more farmers and

Many persons have had the experience
of Mr.. Peter Sherman, of North STRAIT
ford. N. H., who says, "For years suf-
fered torture from chronic indigestion,
but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure made.a we'll
man of me-" 1t digests what you eat
and is certain cure for dyspepsia and
every form of stomach trouble. It gives
relief at once even in the worst cases,
and can't help but do you good.
