A. H. Anderson the photographer has
concluded to keep his old days, Monday
and Tuesday, instead of changing to the
last Of the week as announced last week,
But he will come every week, Monday
and Tuesday hereafter.
The annual tax sale advertisement ap-
peared in the Times last week. The list
is not over long, and the county treasurer
informs us that much OF the land adver-
tised is already paid up. and probably, at
least; one-haN will be paid before the day
of sale which occurs on December 3rd.
Somebody on Sunday night entered ].
B. Renville's stable and took black
horse. That it was done with intent was
shown by the taking of bride as well.
1t was black horse with three white
feet, weighing about 1900 pounds. Dill
gent search and inquiry reveal no clues.
The steel ceiling has been ordered
with which to renew the interior of the
M. E. church in this city. 1t will be an
expensive Job and will cost over $500,
but for large rooms, without partition
walls to stiffen the sides and roof, there
is hardly any other material that will
make permanent and beautiful finish.
We understand that nearly the whole
amount needed has been subscribed.
John B. Carter, Jr., came over from St.
Jean this week and spent several days
with friends and relatives here. There
has been considerable sickness in his
family and during the past summer Mrs.
Carter died. While expenses have been
large John has been able to add to his
grazing and stock holdings little and
now looks forward to greater prosperity.
All of the old friends were glad to see
him again.-Pink Paper
Walter Ford has purchased from Perry
Walton his farm of 22O acres east of
Emerson, paying $50 an acre for the land.
He has also bought the stock, imple-
ments, &C., from Mr.. Walter, taking
possession at once. Walton will work
this place in connection with his former
farm, which adjons it. This makes a
patch of 400 acres for Mr.. Ford to
cultivate. We understand it is Mr..
Walton's intention to remove to Mime

The Fargo Call says these about two
former Pembina county people:-Geo.
w. Cochrane, we'll known in North
Dakota, has secured the state agency
for the XII nball piano, and has COM
menced work with Fargo as his head
quarters. Mr.. Cochrane is hustler and
will undoubtedly work up good bust
ness-Cinch McCrea, who travels for
thu Mccormick, H. M. Co., was one OF
the victims Of the hold-up near Valley
City when the 500 bus was held up by
masked men out side the city limits
Cinch handed his money (s2O) over like
man and told them to ego and have a
good time with it,
Samuel Acheson is the son of Pres.
byterian, but he was immersed in the Red
River this week just as The was Baptist
Fortunately the bottom wasn't very far
from the ice he was skating on, blu,
Sammy is willing to testify that the water
was cold. The ice on the Red River is
always treacherous, and at present is
absolutely unsafe. 1t is plenty thick
enough to bear in most places, but the
warm waters of the Pembina which come
upwards under the ice on the Red River
make lots of thin places, and the trouble
is that the skaters can't always tell from
the looks of the ice, where it is safe OF un-
safe. Until we have another cold snap,
it would be safer to skate on land, boys.
