The ladies of the M, E., church have
requested your correspondent to extend
to MI. LeBrun their hearty thanks for
the use of his building at the church
fair held recently,
Notwithstanding the almost ,ncessant
rains the threshing near here is nearly
complete and the end of the week will
see practically all the grain threshed if
it stays dry with the possible exception
of fax,
Oh yes, our creamery is still running
and Buttermaker Lowgren is making
about twenty-five tubs of butter per
week. We shall try to churn all winter
if for no other purpose than to supply
the people of Langdon with butter and
a first class article too.
Hon. S. j. A. Boyd brought Rev.
Savage down from Hannah on Sunday
to fill the pulpit for the Presbyterians
here. The Rev., gentleman preached
a very able sermon the first half of it to
empty seats and those who were late
missed an interesting sermon.
MIR, and Mrs. Lachner are boarding on
the farm with Mr.. and Mrs. Percy Blake
while settling up theic affairs prepara-
tory to their departure to their future
home in Florida. Mr.. and Mrs. Lachner
have been closely identified with all

This has been an exceptionally good
fall for the business men, especially
merchants and butchers. The rains
have kept the threshers in the field
nearly fifty day as against between
twenty and thirty, other falls and good
crops and high prices of all grains has
been a boost to the farmers following
last years failure and they have bought
as they never did before as they had
practically to buy a two years supply.
North Dakota is certainly a great state
for business. Cavalier county is no
doubt the banner county and Wales for
its size is the best town on the map
for business.
Once more the community was
shocked when the news was spread
last Tuesday, Oct 18th, that Paul the
two year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Heillie
was dead. The little fellow seemed in
perfect health up to between three and
four p. M. or Tuesday. Then it was
noticed that he did not feel we'll and
seemed unable to stand upon his feet.
At about five o'clock he grew suddenly
worseand was soon in commissions, DR..
Backus was called and did everything
possible for the little sufferer, but at
about eleven o'clock he breathed his
last and passed away to his home be-
yond Little Paul was an exceptionally
sweet little fellow and could not help
but endear himself to all who saw him
by his cunning ways and pleasing
appearance. The funeral service were
held in the Catholic church Rev. Wilkes
of Mt, Carmel presiding and the re-
mains were laid to rest in the cemetery
east of Wales. Mr.. Heillie is the buyer
for the farmers elevator and with his
family moved here only a short time ago
but they have the sympathy of the
entire con munity in their sad be-
reavement.
