Dresden folks have Thanksgiving fes-
tivities this evening that take the form
of basket social and dance.

Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov.
9th 1902 and only four weeks to Christ
mas. Coming as they do on Thursday,

Next year would be a good time for
Langdon's old City Hall to be torn down
and one of the last remaining land marks
of the city's ancient history replaced
with something more modern and IN
keeping with the general appearance OF
Langdon up-to-date.
Amusements are likely to be pretty
we'll looked after at Hannah next year.
An opera house is to be built that will
seat between 400 and 500 people. When
the folks at Hannah go after a ''long felt
want" they don't bother about what size
the bill of expense will be.
Tomorrow nights entertainment by
pupils of the Langdon city schools should
have good big turn out by every body
who has the interests of the school at
heart A home talent entertainment al
ways has crowded house here and we
expect to see the children play to "stand-
ing room only when the curtain goes up
tomorrow night.
The feature of correspondence from
different neighborhoods throughout the
county has in the past been one OF con-
siderable interest to readers of the
DEMOCRAT, and now the rush of work has
let up and there is usually something
doing socially we would urge our old
scribes and as many new ones as care TO
try their hand at writing for the paper
to take I'D this work, which aside from
being helpful to them gives benefit and
entertainment to their ncighbors. What
the DEMOCRAT would like is to have a
correspondent in every township IN the
county. Some one who will agree to
send in the news regularly from his or
her locality. We will help the writer's
all we can and keep them furnished with
stationery, stamps and copy OF the pa
per each week. Correspondents should
always make an effort to have their items
reach this office not later than Wedncs'
day morning of each week.
