taking things home from the Halloween
supper, was tipped out of the back of a
buggy and hurt his ankle quite seriously.
1t is better now, but he limps yet.
The seventh and eighth grades dis
cussed the question as to the relative
value to mankind of the horse and COW
on Wednesday and the horse won the
notwithstanding this age of bub,
ble-wagons.
Michael Craigen, formerly of Neche,
died at his home in Regina, on Oct. 18th.
Mr.. Craigen was one of the early pio-
neers of this county and we'll known and
highly respected. He has a brother,
Andrew Craigen, still living in Neche.
The ladies of the Presbyterian church
of st. Vincent have made arrangements
for an entertainment next Friday eve
ming, Nov. 18th, in the town hall. Aunt
Jerusha with her quilting party will be
there to assist in the program.
We understand that the reported pur-
chase of the Fertile, Mimi, Journal by
Messrs. S. E. Thompson and Percy Kemp
is not liable to be effected. The two
gentlemen are both competent newspa-
per men nd no doubt would have made
a success of the venture.
MIR. Louis LaDoux was caller on
Wednesday. We are always sure of a
call from Mr.. LaDoux at least once a
year just at this time. There are some
others-quite number could profit by
his example-and the publishers would
share the profits. Mr.. LaDoux is now
about IS years old and except for asthma
is still in good health.
Invitations have been received an
nouncing the marriage of DR.. Frank E.
Culp to Miss Ruby Vaughn, at Wenat-
chic, Wash, to take place on the 18th
inst. Miss Vaughn will be remembered
by many friends in Pembina, being the
daughter of H. R, and Mrs. Vaughn,
pioneer residents of this county. The
Pioneer Express, with hosts of others
extend good wishes.
The weather of the week has been
mostly pleasant and favorble to farm
operations. Flowing is considerably
behind for the season of the year owing
to the late threshing. The weather is
gradually growing colder and the freeze
up may occur almost anyday, though
blowing might continue for some time
yet. The average time for the ground
to freeze is about the second week of
November
We have it from reliable source that
there will be no Canadian $40 excursions
sold from North Dakota and Minnesota
points this year, but that the residents
of Manitoba and the Canadian north
west will enjoy the old privilege. AS far
as the people around here are concerned
there is nothing to hinder them from
crossing over to Emerson and buying
tickets to the east as before, from Mr..
Casselman, who represents both the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
roads.
The Bathgate Flour Mill Co., has
gone into bankruptcy. The firm was
composed of Perrault & Garripy. Liza
bilities are said to be about $4,000 with
the mill as assets. Quite number of
farmers were caught for grain sold. We
regret the failure, not only for the loss
of the individuals concerned and the
town of Bathgate, but also because it
gives another black eye to the local
milling business which ought to be
general in almost every town in the
valley.
The supper and social of the Presby-
terrain Ladies Aid, held last Friday eve
ming, was largely attended and the
receipts consequently very satisfactory,
and amounted to s96s1. After splen-
did supper the audience were seated to
listen to the program which was
strung together as "Aunt Jerusha's
Quilting Party" in which the partici-
pants were dressed in costume andIwere
about twenty IN number. Besides the
current conversation, quilting and tea,
number of novel and amusing numbers
were introduced, including several "hits"
at local parties. Every body was highly
pleased and applause and encores were
freely given.
