tried them but the effort was not
very satisfying.
Near Granville farmers were
working in their fields last week
Wednesday which was the lst day
Of December. Don't forget to tell
the "folks back home" of this fact
when you write.
A. @. Taylor from southwest of
town drove in Monday morning to
take the train for his old home at
Hillebert, W. Va, where he ex-
poets to spend the winter. He re-
ports that he did we'll farming
this year having in crop 25O acres
which brot him in $1,000 and said
he was we'll satisfied with results.
We stuck our hands down deep
into our own empty pockets as he
walked out of the Office and wished
we were a farmer.

Money for Creamery.

The New Salem territory has q
number of good creameries, and
the reports from only a part of
them give everyone an idea of
what is done here aud why New
Salem and the surrounding country
is prosperous. Many of the farm
ers there draw cream checks every
month in the year for over 500
which is surely a source of profit
worth having. John Held of New
Salem, seems to have secured the
largest check during the month of
September, it being Sl51.15.

not seen the Indians, perhaps, but
the willy red men had seen them
these tall, striking fair-haired,
blue-eyed men, stalking along
with bold strides. They follow
them secretly, and watch them
from behind the trees Of the wood
ed point seperate into two parties,
one remaining on shore to prepare
camp. the other, the main party,
going out beyond the wooded
island to fish.
The Indians steal nearer, and
when the Mortimer are at ease
their weapons laid away. they
pour into them a dense volley Of
arrows, and then rush upon them
with the deadly tomahawk.
Thus surprised, the Norsemen
fall easy victims, yielding their
scalps for the red mems belts.
When their comrades return, they
find them cred with blood and
dead" Ave Maria, save us from
evil!' they exclaim, and hastily
burying their friends, hasten
away from the unlucky spot.
On to the south they go till they
come to an island in what was
then a lake, but which is now a
marsh. There they encamp, be-
lieving themselves in a safe place,
and, in accordance with a sacred
old Morse custom, finding a suit
able stone, carve thereon the
record Of what happened in MEM
ory of their dead brothers.
When a tragedy befell North
men, they always stopped aud in
scribed a brief record of it upon a
8 stone, and thus it happens that
many such-hundreds of them
have been found in Europe. where
ever the Vikings roved far back in
the middle. ages.
Taking into consideration the
discovery Of the Kensington rune
stone and the old anchor at the
Crookston Agricultural college,
there can be little or no doubt that
there was Scandinavian invasion
of the Red river valley long before
the invasion which set in some
forty years ago.
Mr.. Holland will search for the
bones of the murdered Norsemen
next spring, when the snow leaves
the ground.

view of using it as fuel for pump,

Newspaper Subscription Rates.

In announcing an increase in
the subscription price Of his paper
the editor of the republican Of
Mount Gilead, O., gives the fol.
lowing reasons:
La Dor that cost us 81 a year ago
now costs us $l.75. Paper that
cost $1.7O a few years ago, now
costs $235; postage that formerly
cost the publisher cent a pound
outside the county, and free in
side the county, now costs the
publisher, when a subscriber is a
year or more in arrears, a cent on
each paper. A few years ago it
took two shocks of corn to pay for
Ia years subscription; now one
shock will bring enough money to
pay for two years subscription.
Not many years ago it took the
price Of two turkeys to pay for
one years subscription; now one
turkey will sell for enough to pay
for two years. One, lamb, several
years ago, sold for the price Of
twenty-tour months subscription;
now one lamb will sell for enough
to pay for forty-eight months
reading matter"
There is food for thought on
the part Of both publisher and
subscriber in the above paragraph,
and the publisher who is sending
out his paper at 81 90 . year, can
find in it the reason he is not able
70 replace his old worn ont msteri.
