Farm papers warn us that much
of last years corn intended for seed
will not terminate. We are inform
ed that Northrup, King & Co., the
old Minneapolis seedsmen, have a
] stock of Minnesota-grown seed corn,
of high termination, including such
we'll known varieties as University
NO. 10, Sterling White Dent, Pride
of the North. Minnesota King, etc.
If you want seed corn, better write
them.
The conference committee of the
Grand Army of the Republic met
Tuesday afternoon to make the pre-
liminary plans for the observance of

things they accomplished was to ex-
tend an invitation to Rev. H. S. Will
kinson, pastor of the Methodist
church to deliver the Sunday Memo
rial address, which occurs the Sun

A. Silsby will deliver the address on

Judge Abbey, of the county court,
received word this morning from the
pension department in Washington,
informing him that his pension had
been increased from $12 to s15 per

having been taken up by Senator Kit
tredge. Judge Abbey says he is not
the only one of the old soldiers in
Mitchell who has been benefited in
this direction under the law, but a
good many of the old boys will be
drawing an increased pension within
a short time. Quite a number have
made application for the increase and
! their cases will, without doubt, be
acted upon as favorably.
Mr.. and Mrs. Virgil Boyles, of this
city. and Miss Kate Boyles, of Yank-

berlafn, and from there they will
| drive over the reservation country in
the search of certain material for the
new book which they now have un-
der preparation, the basis for which
is laid out in that country, and the
story is being drawn from actual eX-
periences. The book of Mr.. Boyles
and Miss Boyles, "Langdon of Three
Bars" will be ready for the public in
the latter part of April. McClurg &
Co. have already commenced to adj

it will have a strong sale. AS soon
as it is out there will be a supply in

One of the prettiest of Easter cele-
brations was a party that was given
by Mrs. A. w. Bell Monday afternoon
to about forty members of St. Mary's
Sunday school, and the proceedings
were watched by a dozen OF more of
the older people of the church. Mrs.
Bell hid about so eggs in various
parts of the yard and then started
the children out to hunt them. 1t
was the first sport of the kind they
ever INDUCED in and the children
had an immense lot of fun in finding
those hidden eggs, and hardly an egg
escaped detection and vas promptly
brought to Justice by the eager eyes
of the children. After the hunt was
concluded the children were served
with refreshments, which ended one
of the most happy gatherings of the
Sunday scholars of that church, and
they are indebted to Mrs. Bell for the
~pleasurable novelty.
