county seat will go into the Imnaha
country for awhile.
A telephone message was received
last night by Mr.. Goldstone from A. L.
Creelman, who is in T. IL ton with his
family and will arrive here on tonight's
stage. "Creely" said ne had nice trip
but is "Glad to get oa,k." Seems fur
ny, but everyone that leaves the prairie
is always GAL to get back. There is
something very attractive about this
country.
G, w. Coutts has decided to move his
family back to Kentrick early In Sep
TENDER and will hold an auction sale OF
his household effects at the Cottonwood
House at 10 o'clock A. NJ. ON Tuesday,
September 1. As he has house laying
idle in Kendrick Mr.. Coutts deems it
advisable to move his family to that
place but he will remain here indef-
pitely. Watch for sale bills and re-
member the date.
We now have Oh display in our Office
u stalk OF timothy hay raised by r. F.
Filler on his ranch miles west of Keu-
terville. The stalk was cut by mower
and still measures feet III inches in
length and has heads on It Z inches
long. As it originally grew the stalk
would have measured over 6 feet in
height, and there was much more tim
othy in the field equally as tall. This is
a fair sample of the productiveness of
cur soil and MIR. Eller wants to know if
there is anyone hereabouts that can
beat it.
An inquirer asks why newspaper is
like woman? Various answers are
given, among which are the following /:
Because both should be known to be
appreciated; because both are good adj
vertising nle,iiums; because both need
to be pressed; because both sometimes
change dress and tell tales; because
both are sometimes tempted and have
use for the devil; because some are more
easily read than understood; because
both sometimes know more than they
publish, but the correct answer Is doubt
less because every man should have enc
of his own and not be running around
after his neighbours.
The Genesee News says "a Union
towu gifl suggests a new social gaine to
be called Christianity. The girls line
up on one side OF the room and they are
the christians. The boys line up on the
other side Of the room and they are the
heathens, Then the heathens march
across the room and embrace christian
ity and they are worse than heathens if
they don't rush the christian line.'
This game might be introduced in
Cottonwood with great success and we
feel sure there would be no difficulty in
getting boys enough to take the role of
heather, or anything else, in order to
get chance to embrace christianity.
Mrs. Davis and children were over
near Woodland last week picking
hucklberries and after gathering about
10 gallons of the lucious fruit had the
misfortune to have about half of it
stolen from them. They had left it in
an old house, the door of which they
nailed up, and went out to pick few
more berries before starting home but
on returning found the house broken
open and about half the berries gone.
Two freightcrs, who stopped near them
for dinner, are suspected of having taken
the berries to Lewiston to sell. Mrs.
Davis said a bear came into the patch
where they were picking but they did
not linger to make its acquaintance.
