In MEMORY or DIX. WILL J. FARMER.
Oh the morning of October LIST, Jus,
as the autumn sun was nearing the
noon-time hour, a shadow lowered Ger
the Old home. for the Death Angel
came to bear from earth the pure spirit
OF our beloved brother.
Will had MT yet passed the mile
stone that marks the declining road he
was just entering upon the arena OF
usefulness, having just the sunshine OF
twenty-seven summers upon his brow.
When he came home that sad Sab.
bath morning, our hearts were nigh 10
breaking We felt that il was the laet
time we would welcome Will home.
All! only those who have witnessed the
same can know the depth of anguish
that thrilled our hearts on that never
to-be-forgotten day. Everything that
loving friends and eminent physiciane
could do was done to ward of the Angel
A~zereal-but to no avail. God saw fit
to remove him from this world Of shad.
owe to that land OF perpetual sunshine,
where he'll lever know sorrow again.
1t is indeed hard to stand by the bier
oil a loved one-reslizlng that tits our
last farewell. Bnt as we gazed upon
the cold, placid face OF our brother, We
were consoled, knowing that his sleep
was peaceful.
How often while lying on his death.
bed did he tell US that all was we'll with.
him and, alb! friends, that knowledge
helped to heal the wound that death
had made.
Could all for whom he had done
some loving service been present to
have placed a little forke'-me-not upon
his grave, he would today be- lying
meath a mound of flowers.
When the aged, who have borne life's
burdens for yeats, come to die, we do
question the Divine working. wheo
the little child is suddenly stopped in
its game, we only mourn it's absence,
that God has need for his Jew
rare but when a man in the prime
OF youth with the roseate scenes OF the
future spreading before him, illuming q
path of usefulness-it seems indeed
strange that he must fold his bands and
travel to that "bourne from which DO
traveller " returns" But Gods works
are beyond human questioning. Some
day we'll know why this sorrow came
to our hearts aud home Yes, one day
the impenetrsble gloom will be gone
and then we'll know Why this bereave.
ment came. Yes,
They arc gathering h%omsward, one by
And we follow that way.
Their labor ended. their journey done,
And closed ia their day.
They tread the streets of the city fair,
No scar from earth's conflict they bear,
Nor feel the pain Of life's goading care
In their unalloyed bliss.

LEGISLATION FOR THE PRESS.


The Enterprise does not endorse class
legislation, but lie heartily in favor of
RELOCATING the county blackboard to the
rear, because it is an out of date custom
and forced sales are usually only q mat.
ter of form, and the owner of such
property rarely gets Justice out of the
sale. The thorough advertising of
forced sales ought to be rade msnda-
tory.
The old practice of posting notices of
land sales or the Court Houee door is q
relic OF barbarian, we use the phrase
Intentionally, because it grew out OF
necessity, there being no newspapers
in which to publish forced Gales in gel
eral nse two centuries ago. You often
hear the expression, 1T wouldn't bring
any thing under forced sale.' This is
true, but only for the reason the notice
OF sale ia not advertised or generally
known except 10 a few interested ma
nipulators. The fact is that the present
disparity between bids for LAND under
forced sale and offers to buy land under
ordinary conditions, is simply the re-
suit of nothing in the world but lack Of
publicity. There ought to be no alter
native in II touring the publication to
be made in some newspaper. No forced
sale ought TO be valid without pub
lished notice. The old law was defec-
tive in that 1t mode the notice discre-
tionary with the defendant in the exe>

Williston In The Lea d.

The Pioneer Coal Company Of this
city last week captured the contract for
supplying 3 OO0 tons ofllxnite coal u tn e
State school for the deaf al Devils Lake,
as advertised fnr in the Ora hic.
There were several bids III for this con-
tract, some Of which were slightly lower
than the Pioneer Coal CompaDy's bid, ,
but the trustees Of the school decided
that the W,lliston coal was superior
article and wanld be much cheaper in
the end than the clleap7coal from other
parts Of the state. THIS is certainly Il
feather in the Pioneer Coal Company's
cap, and speaks in no unnistakabIe
terms.of the absolute superiority Of Will
iston coal. The fnct that tie Pioneer"
has secured this contract. will stimulate
that company to still greater efforts in
the development Of their mining prop
erty. Besides, it means great things
for Williston, over which our people
ought to rejoice. It means the expen.
dlture OF several thousand dollars extra
among the business men Of The city,
which will be brought III here by the
activity and earnest work Of the Pho.
neer Company, and to this company
credit is due for so prominently calling
the attention Of business men in other
parts of the state to tie superiority Of
our coal. There ia no question as to the
future of Willlston. with it's great min
ing interests, it's mammoth mercantile
houses, it's extensive brick yards, it's
great water way (the Missouri river, Vi its
timber, and it's unexcelled agriculture
and grazing lands, Williston is bound
to become the Mecca of the northwest.
