Too much rain.
Threshing is going along very lively.
The wet weather gives the farmer a
chance to hunt too.
Wheat will average about twenty
bushels. oats forty and barley about
forty five.
The frost last week damaged late flax
great deal and as there is lots of it
around here we shall all be losers.
Those Iowans are jolly fellows. Wish
we could keep them here. A lot more
are expected to arrive soon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton have moved
to Omemee where they will reside in
the future. We are sorry to lose Jim
as he is an all-round good fellow.
Henry Schoonmaker hauled out two
, loads Of lumber to build granary in
the field. He is considerably puzzled
to know where to store his grain.
Most of us are in the same fix.
There is some talk of trying to get
winter school here. 1t is only just
that we should. There are great
many children in the eighborhood
who would be benefited by it.
Ralph Demars says that his new
Advance separator works like clock.
That the farmer prefers the Advance
to any other machine is evidenced by
the amount of work Mr.. Demars has
on hand.
sa@ A pelican was shot at the lake last
week which measured over nine, feet
from tip to tip of its wings. Several
of the boys wish there was taxider
mist in the neighborhood.
Charles Lawrence shot one of his
dogs which he claims was bitten by {
mad dog recently. We shall likely
hear of more dogs showing symptom:
of hydrophobia before long.
We are pleased to report the recovery
of Mrs. Geo. Houle from her recent
illness. George desires to thank al
those who showed their sympathy dur
ing his wife s illness.
1t seems strange, that some article!
write hit others than those for whom
they were intended 1 cannot under
stand it. But if any one gets riled
am sorry, not for doing it, but for th'
individual whom the shoe pinches.
About the meanest low down eXhibi
tion of impudence we ever witnessed
was given at the lake last week by
three hunters hailing from Mayville
One day during heavy rain thes'
gentlemen y took possession of th'
house of farmer who lives near th'
lake and without permission proceeded
to make hog pen of the kitchen
They practically pushed the family tx
the wall and rummaged the cupboard
and mauled bread around to theil
heart s content and the disgust of thos
who witnessed. They had some whis
key and beer with them some of whicl
they drank while the remainder wa
thrown upon the floor Some gam
which they had shot and from whicl
the blood was still flowing, wa
brought in and thrown on the onl.
clean spot they had left on the floor
After they had finished their luncl
they proceeded to occupy all the avail
able space around the stove, hangin,
their wet coats on every chair and mai
they could find until there was scarce
room to turn around. That the far
mer's wife was sick any one could see
at glance yet these idiots evidentl.
cared not and but for her sake there
would have been some trouble there
They departed as they came, withou
a word of thanks and still exhibiting
their Mayville manners We trust
that this may catch the eye Of Capt
F. and his companions of that day ant
when they visit us again they viii
please remember that our manners ar
refined and cultivated though we liv
near Dunseith and we expect whel
