The dates for the Pemb1na county
annual fair to be held at Hamilton are
announced as being August 1856. This
is somewhat unfortunate for many of
our old friends down in the Valley who
for years past have enjoyed attending
the Cavalier county fair as the dates are
the same as those announced for the
Langdon fair over two months g O
Henry Ockel and wife we're returning
passengers to their home at Milton last
Friday from a sad trip to Munich where
the funeral of their little daughter
occurred on Wednesday, the remains
being given a last resting place in the

Last Friday the Grand Forks Herald
stated that it understands that l.. D..
Booker is now one of Villas close advis-
ers. Mr.. Booker has been engaged in
business, particularly in the cattle trade
in Mexico for several years, and had
dealings with Villa before the war. The
Herald says that it is probable that
Villas friendship for the United States
arises largely from this connection with
Mr.. Booker, who is a former Pembina
banker and an ex, state treasurer.
Robert Murie sustained a bad fracture
of the right arm, slightly above the
wrist, while in town Saturday afternoon
The accident happened while he was
engaged in cranking his big SIX cylin-

interfere with plans for a big summers
work on the Murie farm in Harvey.
The dental office of Drs. Smith g.
Hughes will be closed next Thursday
afternoon, Friday and Saturday, owing
to the fact that the annual meeting of
the state dental association takes place
at that time in Grand Forks. This Is
the only time during the year that the
dental office is closed, and these gentle
men feel that they owe it to themselves
and their patients to keep in touch with
the best in dentistry. DR.. Smith is sec.
rotary Of the association.
The morning service at st. Alphonsus
church last Sunday was the occasion of
a large class of young boys and girls of

the greater part of the past winter and
the impressive service of last Sunday
forenoon was witnessed by an unusually
large congregation. 1t is expected that
Bishop O'Reilly will visit Langdon in
the fall for the purpose Of holding con-
frmation services.
