siderable anxiety throughout the
neighborhood, but il now able to be
around again.
The humps have made their appear
ance IN this locality since the opening
OF apring and the younger members Of
several families know how it goes just
now. No serious consequences are
anticipated however.
| 0. R. Daniels is the owner OF fine
new shot gun and the geese and sand
hill cranes have our sympathy. 1t looks
though as if the geese had a pretty good
idea OF what is in store fer them, as they
don't come this way any more.
Mrs. Jas Rogers has been quite
seriously i'll since the arrival OF son,
born about a week ago. The doctor
has been in almost constant attendance,
but hopes for her recovery are now
entertained by friends OF the family.
Last Sunday, the Baptist preacher,
Rev. T. H. Robertson, from Langdon,
came out here to conduct services at the
home OF Duncan McCoIlum. We have
quite large membership OF that
denomination i'll the Daniels settlement.
james Cooney seems to have lots OF
callers these days. AS farmers break
down along the road it usually seems to
be handy to call on Jim to make the
necessary repairs. He is an A No. 1
blacksmith and the neighborheod could
ill afford to get along without him.
From the style Of hair dressing being
adopted by young men around here the

last month seems to have removed the
| shanties on some homesteads here.
The one on the claim of F. Fl. DeCamp
is now neatly piled up on the place of his
neighbor to the east. Ed. Mcdonald
also had the bad luck to lose his. In
both cases the wind showed no favor
and tore the building all to pieces.
Until this week the season has been
rather backward, but the boys are now
putting in good long hours pushing
ahead the seeding. In every direction
the drills may be seen burying the
golden grain. which we hope to reap
bountifully in the fall. At the present
time everything indicates that farming
upon all lines will be a success this year.
The outlook never was better in fact.
Captain Stocks who will be remember
as the Salvation Army officer, sopepular
in this settlement awhile back, has been
paying us another visit this week hold.

turnout at the services was large and
some OF the old ones came to the front

around here wishes the captain we'll and
hope for the pleasure Of another visit.
Bicycles are oil the go now as the
horses are being worked too hard to
allow OF their being driven much after
the days work is done. All the young
folks can be seen out practicing on their
wheels and the falls when rough spot
is run up against are apparently
numerous, especially among the fair

Among the most Industrious and the
