Editors Ballentyne of the Emerson Jour-
nal and Deacon of the st. Vincent New
Era evidenced their fraternal feelings
for the Pioneer Express publishers by
Christmas boxes that were highly ap.
preciated as we'll as the kindly hearts
that were behind the gifts. "Behold
how good it is for brethren to live in
unity (that isn't the real quotation but
that's what it means
A joint installation of the Ancient
Order United Workmen and Degree of
Honor will be held in the hall rooms on
the evening of the 18th, when one of the
best times ever had at such gathering

things that taste good on such occasions
will be provided and everybody will
be insured good time. Members will
be allowed to invite one outside friend
We learn that Mr.. N. A. Trudell died
in Montreal on Dec. 2lst. MIR. Trudell
was one of the early settlers in this To-
cality and farmed for many years on the
Iceland coulie and Tongue river about
four miles from town. He was much re-
spected by all who knew him, and many
old friends will be sorry to learn of his
decease. He has not been in good health
for several years, and last fall concluded
to go to Montreal and reside with friends
there in the home of his boyhood.
Mr. Louis Lembke of the Pembina
River locality, was caller on Wednes-
day. In discussing some farming ques-
lions Mr., Lembke says that for some of
his land he has been following the
binder with plows so that when the
binder comes round again the sheaves
are thrown on the plowed ground He
thinks this system of early blowing
gives just about as good results is to
summer fallow. Mr.. L is one OF our most
farmers and his opinions are
IF value.
Frank Mike, of Perth township, Walsh
county, is under arrest under a verdict
Of coronor's jury that he choked his

Langdon Republicans: At the close of
the December term of the district court
last Friday, the members of the jury
who had served during the term, called
on Judge W. j. Kneeshaw and his Ste
nograper, Miss Daughenberg, at the
U. Z. G. hotel, and presented them with
a box of cigars and box of bonbons
respectfully. While the gifts at first
thought would seem to be nothing out of
the ordinary, they were the best to be
had in town, and came from many old,
time friends of the Judge, and to say
the least we're very much appreciated.
The Judge is personally known to all
of the old timers of this section of the
state, for he helped to organize Cava-
lier county during the pioneer days,
and the gathering on Friday evening,
brought back to memory many interest
ing incidents of the early days. There
was some music, several inpromptu
talks and a general good time for an
hour or more.
How often, o how often,
Has that has-been year of nine
Slipped from pen?
