Comrade Sam Fry returned from his
trip to the G. A. R. encampmcnt at Bos-
ton last month and visiting with relatives

Messrs. VIM. Moses of Alexandria,
Mimi, and ]. M. Wylie of Drayton, Of
the firm of Moses & Wylie, were visitors
in the city on Tuesday. Mr.. Wylie has
for the past year spent most of his time
in suburb of Chicago, where he has a
store.
This city cast just 100 votes at the last
general election. five had cast just one
vote less we would have been saved the
expense and bother of registering. The
registration board meets for the first time
two weeks before election, and then one
week afterwards.
]. ID. Gordon Of Walhalla was in town
on Tuesday. He informed us that his
wife and son were about leaving for
Washington, where they will reside in
future, and that he will follow as soon as
he can get his businass matters settled
up, which will take some time yet.
Election occurs on the latest date DOS
sible this year, the first Tuesday after the
first Monday happening on Nov. 9th.
We are glad that it happens so late this
year as that is the usual time for the
ground to freeze up, and the farmers
need all the days possible this season.

Frank Horr was home again this week.
He has concluded that, take it altogeth-
er, he prefdrs the Pembina-Junction run

much OF his nice home here to make the
change.
A little rain on Monday but the thresh-
ers kept right on at work all day for the
most part. The rest of the week was
cool and generally overcast. but thresh.
ers have been putting in every daylight
hour and sometimes later. The past ten
days have cleaned up lot of threshing,
but there is lot to do yet, perhaps half,
though some localities are much farther
along than others. Flowing is very far
behind, many farmers having not turned
furrow as yet.
Wheat prices stick stubbornly close to
the dollar mark, though the receipts in
the markets are very large, and usually
wheat falls as soon rs grain comes to
