picnic at Keeo's ranch July 4th.
Foot races by fat men, boys and
girls, and other amusements with
a swell dinner, composed the pros

Ed. Thomas has sold his we'll
auger. y
Mr.. and Mrs. Engbrecht, ST., are
visiting relatives in Canada. Peter
accompanied them but has
returned. a
Mrs. Jacob Engbrecht is sure a
farmer woman. She has
a cream separator and sells about
eighty pounds of butter per month.
One of the neighbors has same
gooseberry bushes and raspberry
vines which are loaded with fruit.
That shows that this country can
do.
T. T. Perry received the nomina-
ton for count assessor,
There are so many beautiful flow
ers on the prairie one wonders what
will bloom next.
Any items of interest about coun-
try or people, or any pleasantly will
be greatly appreciated by the Ronda
Anything disparag-
ing will not be considered
There is nothing that will destroy
happiness and perfect amity in a
neighborhood so quickly as gossip
ing. People have very little to do
and are very narrow minded who on
every occasion must make some
neighbor the subject of their con
versation to his discredit. have
known those who repeated all kinds
of slanderous lies that they could
not possibly prove were they the de-
PENDANTS in a SANDER suit, while al
the same time their victims could
tell things that could be proven ii,
any court in the United States, but
they were too we'll bred and high
principled to do so. Life is very
short, too short to fill in with that
which is not good and noble One
of our famous writer's has said
"Calumny is the result of little
minds" and one has only to study
the profile of gossip to be con-.
WINGED. 1t must be amusing as well
as distressing to the Great Ruler
of the universe to see a lot of in
significant beings whom a stone the
size of robins egg, a rusty Single
nail, small bruise, or cut on the
little finger, could dash out rheil
lives, all wrangling and gossipins
about each other! Let us be broader
minded men and women. The world
is wide. If we do not like people
we can stay; on our side of the fence
be pleasant when we are compelled
to associate with them and not gos
sip about them. They know, why we
do not like them, without telIins
it all over to those, perhaps, wht
talk about us in the same manner.
One thing that is very annoying
to the small farmers is to have thell
crops run over and destroyed by thu
.ranchman''s cattle. A whole her;
of cattle destroying a crop which al
honest, hard working farmer expect,
to support his family on through tn
winter, is a sad sight. The ranch
men have had their day and nov
comes another class, to make this
greater North Dakota, and the.
should receive protection If our gov
ernor has to order out the state mi
litia armed with boards three fee
long and give each one publ
spanking. *1
Guy L. Lloyd and sister, Mrs

but Guy stayed for a longer visit.
Lines, to Bison Horn.
And thus 7 find thee lying here,
Half decayed relic of the past,
Memento of another day
A day which could not last.
A day of glory for thy kind
| Unchecked by civilizations ban,
Which roamed at will these prairie
wild,
Ere the approach of man.
Once some majestic monarch of Ii
| plains, !.
| Tossed these aloft in regal pride,
We know not where his wandering
led,
We know not by what means
| died. 2
But this we know that earthly powe
And earthly pride must pal
away,
And only leave a trace behind,
j OF a forgotten day.
