church will meet April 2nd, at

The Times was mistaken in
saying that the city dug out
and hauled the dirt from the
Rich building to the bridge
and paid 25c per yard. The
estate digs the dirt and hauls
it and gets 25c per yard; quite
a difference.
Judge Harker of Wyndmere,
on his way from a trip to the
twin cities, spent Monday in
the city. The Judge is in the
real estate swim and says he's
got too much to do-bought a
farm and sold another Monday
and there it goes right along.
NJ. A. Wippernan has an ad
in another place announcing
the sale of the Howry hardware
stock, this city, at cost. and
gives some prices. Look up
Mr.. Wippernan,s propositions.
He may save you money, es-
pecially if you intend to build
this spring.
John w. Forkner declines to
run for alderman i'm the Third
ward and there will be no op-
/ position to Mr.. Leach in that
ward. Mr.. Leach is a good
man in every respect and will
represent the interests of the
ward and of the city in a credit
able manner, and that is what
all good citizens want.
Wahpeton's bowling team,
Messrs Barry, Edwards, Star,
Powry, Moe, Purdon and
Jurgenson were defeated by a
scratch at Fargo Saturday, "a
pins. The boys attribute their
defeat to the fact that they
played upon a strange alley
yet the boys admire their Fargo
adversaries and make them out
good players and good fellows,
and are highly pleased with
their entertainment at Fargo.
Caroline, the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Forman, died
Monday evening, aged 8 years.
The girl was taken i'll the
morning of that day with stom-
ach trouble. She was in gool
health up to the hour of attack.
The funeral occurred from the
Congregational church this
afternoon. The remains were
laid to rest in Fairview ceme-
terry.
r.. W. Beatty is making a
pertinent proposition to people
inclined to buy groceries of the
city mail order houses, as may
! be seen by reference to Mr..
Beatty's ad on the last page Of
this paper. He makes very
notable proposition. that he
will furnish better goods for
the same money sent to mail
order houses. Under such
circumstances it would seem
doubly foolish for taxpayers to
send their money away from
home in buying household
goods. Confer with Mr.. Beatty
and we doubt not the mail
order customer will find the
home merchant his best friend.
There are various reasons why
people should deal at home,
and the reason is indeed not
able when he gets better goods
for the same money.
