In this issue of the COURIER will be
found the announcement of Geo. w.
Graff, a candidate for the Office Of
register of deeds. Mr.. Graf is thor.
oughly competent to discharge the
duties of the Office and asks for a
nomination ut the hands of the COM
ing republican convention. He is a
young man of good qualities and
habits and If he is successful the
county will have no cause to be
ashamed of its choice.
| Persons living near the depot are
complaining Of dosing rest UP to the
early morning hours on account OF
dogs barking and making such a
racket. 1t is claimed that young
couples use the depot platform for a
sparkling rendezvous and it worries
the dogs. We hope the young people
will be more considerate and go home
a few hours earlier in order to give the
neighbors chance to rest.
Col. Ligeett, dean of the Minnesota
Agricultural College, who off1ciated a:
Judge of stock for the fair association

was the most enterprising little city

'If Minnesota towns of one thousand
population were as enterprisng as
Cooperstown it would add twenty
millions OF dollars in valuation to
Minnesota every year." This is an
endorsement that is appreciated and
the Col. further remarked that we
Rad one Of the prettiest prairie towns
he had ever visited. He enjoyed his
visit here, his work was appreciated,

the best is none too good for visit
ors at Greenwich Stock Farm. Messrs.
Butler & Upton started in raising
Shorthorn stock only a few years ago
with a half a dozen head. Today they
have forty head OF fine stock, have
sold off a good many and will dispose
of several more in few days. They
have some blue ribbon winners, in
their herd and have some of the best
bred stock in the country. In adj
dition to Shorthorn cattle they are
breeders of Poland China hogs and
own some of the best of this breed
to be found in either North of South
Dakota. The COURIER is pleased to
note the success of Messrs. Butler b
Upton in raising good stock and we
hope that they will continue to reap
