Tom Smith is expected to return home
next week from Toronto. Ont, where he
has this spring completed his course of
study of dentistry. He will enter the
practice of his brother, DR.. F. S. Smith.
Another meeting was held on Satur-
day evening by the business men and
public spirited citizens of Langdon who
during the past month have been taking
an active interest in the movement to
establish creamery here this summer.
No definite action was taken.
Tuesday forenoon the wedding of Mr..
Duncan Mcdonald and Miss Beatrice
Rice occurred at the st. Alphrnsus
Catholic church, the ceremony being OBJ
served by the celebrating of high mass.
The contracting parties both live few
miles south of Langdon and have for q
number of years past been popular resi-
dents of Perry township.
The members of the Episcopal church
are looking forward to the appointment
of resident pastor of the church here
Bishop Mann has had the filling of the
vacancy here under consideration ever
since the dedication of the new
church last winter and has apprised the
congregation that pastor will be
placed in charge of this parish some
time in June.
Several owners of residence property
in the city are considering the question
of putting in cement sidewalk this sum-
mer. The step suggests itself by the
excellent condition this spring of the
walk put in last fall in front of the AL
lert and Winter homes. Cement walks
last life time and can be laid at about
double the cost of wooden walk while
the latter need rebuilding every five or
six years, especially where there is any
great amount of traffic.
DR.. Brooks, until lately in partnership
with DR.. Cory of Hannah, comes here
from Wales with the beginning of the
coming month and will associate him
self in practice with DR.. E. l. Donovan.
It is understood that DR. Brooks has en-
joyed quite an extensive practice for
for years in the east before coming to
Cavalier county two years ago and that
we are not overstating the facts in say
ing that DIR. Brooks ranks we'll up among
the best medical men of our state.
