Mr.. and Mrs. j. P. Hicks of Neche Wis
tied at Mr. Myrick Sr. for a couple of
days last week. T',ey kind of took a
. week off and spent it among friends in
Emerson and here. 1t would have tax
ell twice that long for pioneers like j. p.
and wife to get around to see all who
would like to shake hands with them.
Mrs. Kabernagle left for Grand Forks
yesterday where she will spend Thanks
giving with friends and the U students.
If the train happened to be installed In
blizzard, she will be able to keep the
passengers from starving for some days
as she carried a large supply of
eatables for the hungry kids at the U.

King came home from the Grand Forks
U on Wednesday evening to eat turkey
with the folks here. Miss Pauline
Kneeshaw is expected tomorrow to re-
main until Tuesday. The rest of them
will wait until Christmas-and they
threaten to "paint the old town bright
crimson" atsthat time-as they will have
to put two holidays into one.
The advertisement of the annual tax
sale appeared in the Hamilton Indepen-
dent last week. AS compared with the
usual advertisement it seems somewhat
brief. The banner township is Gadrar

rquent for taxes this year. Much of
the land advertised will be settled be-
fore sale day which occurs on Tuesday,
| Dec. 18th.
Cards announcing the birth of barrow
Goodman Burnett on Nov. 18th have
been received by friends in this city.
The parents Mr.. and Mrs. r. g. Bur

this city where they formerly resided
will add congratulations. Here's hop
ing that the boy will always go by his
second name.

the general public, and no doubt will
make success of his business venture

gage in the same business at Pr nee Al

Saturday last the Star Cafe had
very special run on raisins, owing partl
!, to slight mistake in the printing otfic
: in announcing to the purchasing publ
that they could obtain three package
: for quarter, whereas two was ba
!. gain. We pay the extra, and are losel
in the Saturday bargain sale, viii
Journal readers reaped the benefit. B,
q it affords another good argument to tt
fact that advertising brings the trade
