Subscription payments are coming
in quite lively OF late. The office safe
is full Of money, and three or four
coal-scuttles full of gold and silver
have been cached In the back yard.
There is, however, a little space yet
remaining in an old gum overshoe,
so that until further notice we shall
be able to find storage-room for any
money that our subscribers may i'm
sist on paying.
Two Of the handy side-lines of the
Travis & Elliott hardware business
are the harness repair shop and the
timer repair shop. When for a few
cents or few dimes one gets an art
icle mended SO that it will last almost
as long as new one, he wonders how
he got along for twenty years or SO
without convenienceS such as these.
VIM. Ogle, one Of the early settlers
in this county. but Of late years a
resident of Morton county, has been
in the hospital in Bismarck since the
first week In November. Some time
previous to that he was blowing
a furrow to head off a prairie fire not
far from his place. In the hurry of
the work one of his legs was badly cut
by the pillow point. Atterward blood
poisoning set in and lie was taken to
the Sisters hospital. He is improv-
ing, but is still far from we'll. Any
of the Emmons county oldtimers WHO
knew him in the old days should call
on Chilly" when they are in Bismarck
At the recent election Asa Britts,
candidate for clerk of district court
against T.. G.. Rocks, was behind
the latter in only one English-speaking
precinct Of the county. And that
precinct was Burr Oak-the banner
republican precinct of the county
farthest from Linton, where both
candidates live. Many OF the Burr
Oak voters we're unacquainted with
either candidate, which gave Macdon-
aid, the republican ~ state senator, a
Chance to get in his work against
Mr.. Brltts, the republican candidate
for clerk. In Linton, where both
candidates reside, Britts beat Rocks
81 to 32-more than two to one.
Roy Yeater was in town the fore
part of the week. He came here with
his wife, his wife's mother (Mrs. II.
Refinery and his two children. Mrs.
Reimer had been visiting her Ilazeton
relatives about a month, and Mrs.
Yeater and the children will visit
with their grandmother at Groton, $.
D., about the same length of time.
Roy seems tohave entered intoa Con
spiracy'' with himself to have a thine
all alone by himself His wife and
moiher-in-law and the children are in
South Dakota, and his ma has just de
parted on visit to Pennsylvania.
Now, if he can just get the old gent u
80 off somewhere on "A visit, he'll have
things his own way for awhile, sure
enough.
Another wreck took placeon the Mil
