John Wild was here Saturday from
his stock farm neal Milton. Since the
break in the dry spell a week ago the
chance of a harvest has made the out
look much better for farmers in the
south end of the county.
Court visitors from the northeastern
part of the county say that the crop
around Numedah], which is in good
shape, is by long odds the best to be
found in the county. Farmers out that
way will have practically an average OF
half a crop.
w. B Dickson and family have moved
into the suite of rooms on the second
floor of the Smith block, opposite the

Tom Padden was at Grand Forks last
week to see Ringling's circus. The hot
dry weather has affected the crops

wholesalers aud machinery dealers.
