Anna Graves, who has been suffering
from a severe attack of stomach trouble
the past few weeks is able to be out.
Miss Annie Bigger is contemplating a
trip to jamestown and will likely visit
with friends the balance of the winter.
NJ. L. Fainter was remarkably con-
spicuous by his absence at the rattle of
last week. Oh! son, Oh! son, what hast
thou done.
If anyone is in doubt as to whether
that shot gun deal was real or imaginary
they can easily find out by asking our
!neighbor, Angus Boney
Alloys Berg. the notorious globe trot-
ter came out from Langdon as usual to
attend the dance. although livery rigs,
groomsmen and weddings were sadly
omitted this time.
Chas. E. Render, our popular towns
man and all round sport has been max
ing pretty frequent trips west lately. and
although niclSnames are in vogue in the
western settlement they do not always
take. Still. Render has one that always
shines brightly.
The rattle and dance given by Charlie
Booth and jack Tovcy on the 26th ult..
was a decided success in every particu
lar. the dance keeping the floor occupied
until eight o'clock the next morning
Joe eau. of 1rier. won the ladies
watch and Billy Young, also of Trier,
carried away the shot gun.
. Ellenbaum Bros. received another large
consignment of goods from the east last

filled from cellar to garnet with the
choicest. freshest and most up to date

, Twin Cities and Langdon being includ-
ed in the def
Mrs. j. G. Young and son George, of
Trier, and Robert Booth of this place,
took their departure last week for
Glaston, Pembina county, and it is said
by those who know that no matter what
George may do it is safe to bet that Bob
will not come back without the better
, half We are in hopes that it may be
t a double wedding after all.
Some of the male population of the City
of Empire are continually in doubt as to
whether the dances in this locality are
strictly modern and up to date or not,
yet the same parties who do the boast
ing we note are very tame about it when
it comes down to common square or
round dances, and if it was not for the
genial disposition of some of the ladies
, they would be sadly disappointed.
There are people living in this county,
although we don't think they live in
Henderson, who are mean enough to
steal sheep and go to church with the
wool in their teeth. The latest act of
these light fingered gentry was to swipe
box of cigars and bottle of pepsin
from Peter Wolf of Klein, at the rattle
on the 18th ult. But, never mind, they
will yet live to run the length of their
rope, and you know what will happen.
! Matthew Berg, who has of late &C.
quired quite reputation as a ladies
man here in Henderson was down from
Trier on Monday night and scattered
his broad smiles far and wide over the
female population of this township.
Over the roar Of the mountains, over tho hills |
and che dolls,
With Of love to the girls ring the
the house whore 'Curly" dwells.
There is hope, there is hope for ''Shine" in the
| beautiful rattle bells
Over west is a girl that is lovely for Me tesder
sweet story she tells.
In the dusk of glorious evening rang che
beautiful rattle bells.
And still r. the heart Of "shine" IN anthem
exultingly swells.
| At that memory sweet of tho ringing of the L
beautiful rattle bells.
They rang o'er. the hills and the valleys; they
summoned the people that day.
| From regions of night to the raAient light of
of the cot where grandpa lay.
| And for ever and ever and ever . wonderful
melody dwells.
| In the tender sweet ringing and singins of
the beautiful rattle bells. II
For they sing Of love that is deathless, but q L
love that "Shine" thinks IL lost.
