Longfellow's birthday was honored by
the raising of "Old Glory to the top of
the flag staff at the city schools on
Wednesday of last week, but we believe
there was not one in fifty who noted the
presence of the flag that knew the oc-
casion of its being unfurled.
Osnabrock will put up some fine busi-
ness blocks this summer on the site of
the confiagration of last week. The
business men of that town should also
give serious consideration to the ques-

be equivalent to the needs of a prosper
Gus town such as they have.
One week from next Tuesday,the 18th
inst. is township election day. and
we take this early opportunity of asking
that the acting clerks OF the townshid
board do there best to let the,DEMocRAT
know the result of the election as early
as possible after the polls close. If this
is done In every precinct the returns we
publish in the paper of that week will
be almost complete.
Floyd Watson, a knight of the razor
at the barber shop of Messrs Fisher &
Cairns for the past two years is, expect
ing to leave Langdon shortly for Leeds,
n. D., where he will accept similar
position. Floyd will be greatly missed
here this summer in base ball circles
and the local fans" will no doubt be
interested in learning that he will be on
the salaried team which Leeds enters
the North Dakota League with this
season.
Laagdon is going to celebrate the
Fourth of July. 1t is long years ago
since Langdon had rousing good old
fashioned patriotic celebration on the
Glorious Fourth and the event on July
4th promises to fully make up for the
omissions Of years gone by. The op-
portunity to make an early announce
ment of the fact that Langdon will cele-
brate came this week when the Langdon
Driving Il Agricultural Association
meet and decided that as Langdon was
not included in the race meeting sched-
ule of the CT. Northern circuit they
would not hold summer race meeting
this year. Plans were started at once by
Langdon business men for monster
celebration for the Fourth with plenty
of big attractions to give a day of en-
joyment to everybody. 1t will be an all
day celebration starting with a parade
that will in splendor outshine that of
circus. Base ball by county teams, la
cross by visitors from across the line in
Manitoba, bowery dancing and all the
other events usually looked for will be
bigger and better than Langdon has ever
previously attempted Langdon will
be the place for everyone in Cavalier
county to visit on the Fourth.
