the mothers of the girls at the "U'' for a
Thanksgiving spread, as the girls are
not coming home. From the fila bear"
of the good things contained therein, we
are afraid that some of the young folks,
unless they take care, will not be able to
attend their classes on Friday. Like the

The Pioneer Express has issued a
supplementary list of all the telephones
of the Northern Telephone Company's
lines in northern Kittson county, which
includes part of st. Vincent, Humbolt
and the rural lines, and is part of the
Pembina circuit. The list comprises
about seventy-tive phones and is made
to be pasted in the regular North
western Telephone Cos. direetory issued
from this Office short time ago, and can
be had for the asking.

topic. Flows have been running during
the last week. The river is not safe for

holders, it is not as pleasant and healthy
as our regular North Dakota weather. at
this season. The roads are rough and
muddy. However, We may see sudden
change at any day now, and it is mare
than likely to be about Thanksgiving
day, this being written on Tuesday.
Later-the snow came on Wednesday
and developed quite little blizzard..
