Prof. r. +. Kerr was at the state
fair Monday, that day being set apart
for the state officers and legislative
candidates. The professor SAYS the
fair is the best in the history of the
state. The exhibit is a big II and is
unusually good and the crowds so
far this week have broken all records.
The first hard frost of the season
came Thursday night, and did some
damage to the corn, although we UNI
derstand it is not hurt as bad as was
first thought. OF course, those fields
in low lands were injured, but many
pieces on higher ground escaped, and
considerable corn was already out of
the way of the frost.
Mrs. Anna Lawshe, who returned
last week from an extended stay with
her daughter, Mrs. Grace Brooke at
Valley City, n. D., tells us that he
had a most enjoyable visit. She states
that Mrs. Brooke, who is in charge

more applications for the coming year
than can be Accommodated.

last year you will go anyway.

Dakota Farmer tells us that he en-
rolled a very distinguished new sub
scriber this week. He is Russell Ford

A terrible tragedy occurred at Red

and killed Miss Dale Kiser, seriously
wounded DR.. Clinite, and committed
suicide. While the city is

the sad affair, very little harsh cen
sure is directed toward the author of
the tragedy. The parents of the dead
girl and the citizens generally regard
the act as the deed of a man made in
