A merry old Christmas time was had
by large number of the young people
around here at the home of G. Fehr.

10y large number of the young people
around here at the home of G. Fehr.
All the neighbors are expressing much
sympathy for Jacob Derlson, who is
noticed as having the trouble of helping
up one of his horses wheneverit happens
no lay down, which is little more
frequently than it ought to do.
Mr.. Whitman has lately filed on
Quarter section of land over in Canada
and is intending to move over there with
His family in the coming summer. re-
rhaining OH his place here until the crop
is in.
Jas. Ellefsen has established for him
self the reputation of being quite a
speaker when it comes to anything in
the line of q celebration at Christmas
time. At the event held here on Christ
mas eve he certainly acquitted himself
in a manner which did him credit.
j. Boyd was seen going through here
on his way to Langdon one day last
week. The business which he trans
acted is likely to have proven surprise
to one if not more of the people of this
neigh hborhood,
Prairie chickens may now be out of
season and it is not likely that many
wolves are to be found as far away from
the woods as this but we do know that
John Derkson bagged quite number of
fine fat rabbits while out for hunt one
of the fine days last week.
The Krahn family returned last Satur-
day from their visit with friends across
the line in Canada. 1t has been learned
from them that David and John Fehr,
who will be remembered as old settlers
in here up to a year ago are doing nicely
and are we'll satisfied with things as
they find them over there.
The boys since thoroughly talking the
matter over have agreed to travel around
the settlement with the grey horse on
New Years eve. Here's hoping that the
visits they make will bring omens of a
bright and happy New Year to each
and every family on whom they call.
We have learned that after using q
whole lot of patent medicine for the
purpose of promoting a aluxuriant growth
of whiskers j. q. Wall is able to de-
monstrate to the boys that it does help
some. Now why don't some of the old
bald heads out through this way give it
a trial.
| Well, there is pretty good story 60
ing the rounds here just at the present
time and the way it goes the joke ap.
pears to be on one of the young girls
living over in the direction of Rosehill
The event referred to dates back to last
spring when the COW in the pasture
which she had undertaken to mill,
turned out to be bovine of the othel
sex.
j. Spenst has found Christmas parti
cularly merry time, little boy whose
name is to be Johnnie makes the --latest
Il special addition to his family which il
already not what might be termed the
smallest in this settlement. Perhaps
this accounts for the many large pur
chases that he made within the past few
days at the auction sale that Klein &
Isaac have been holding in Langdon.
! Among the purchasers of school lane
at the sale held in Langdon last weel
was G. Krahn who was the successful
bidder for fine half section, located
within half mile of his farm in thil
township. He is expecting to break con
siderable of this land up the coming
season and will in the future have y
large crop acreage as any one in thi
locality.
