putting. Al. ia

study of Rev. Magin last evening;
| Irwin G. Emery and Louisa Dittman OF
Coleharbor, were married by MT
| Magin. The groom has charge of the
| lumber yard of the Mandan Mer
camille company at Coleharbor and Is
one Of the bright young business men
of Mclean county. His bride is a
favorite in that region and will make
| him a worry helpmeet. ,r.; ,.s rs
| Communicated While :. it is not
probable that our city will have an
ordinance soon prohibiting splitting
on the sidewalks, it is not out Of place
perhaps to say that public sentiment
is very much opposed to any such
practice. The habit is indeed q
] filthy one. When a walk is nicely
Icleaned the pedestrian should not
like some unclean bird besmear 1t and
The who does 1t should be placed on
| the same plane as the man who
/ makes a drunken fool Of himself.
