assist you in procuring home of youk7

County Auditor Fabrick drew
a warrant on Ward county in IA
vor of Cass county for 1880,
the expense of the second Muir
| ply trial. This would have fur
nished bread for a lot of poor
people.
Did you ever stop to think that Hurd
e. Mallory have distributed more money
amongst the business mon of Minot
than any business firm in the city?
Their pay roll aggregates the sum of
S2,OOO per month for labor alone, DO
sides many thousands spent with the
business men of the city. H. A. Hurd
expects to increase this amount this
season.

Bro. Keene OF Sherwood tells
Of the winter ten years ago when
people in this state stepped from
their upstairs window out on the
snow drifts and people walking
along on top OF the SNOW were
on a level with the tops of tele-
graph poles. He didn't make an
affidavit to this effect but we
guess Its so.

In case that a patent has been
issued for a piece of land and at
forwards it is proved that the
homesteader made a fraudulent
entry, the title to the land is not
effected providing that the land
has been sold to an innocent
purchaser. This is the result OF
a decision in the supreme court
sometime ago.
Farmers ought to make a lot
of money if they go at it right.
A few chickens, cows and hogs,
in connection with the raising of
corn, wheat and other grain
ought to pay we'll. Farmers are
getting 35 cents pound for but
ter in Minot now and there is q
famine at that. Eggs, and an
Gent ones at that, are selling for
35 cents a dozen. Chickens sell
at 12H cents per pound live
weight and farmers have no
trouble at all in selling hogs to
the local butchers for six cents q
pound live weight. Hay is sell
ing from eight to twelve dollars
q ton. In the face Of all these
facts, half the farmers buy their
own meat and butter.
