GOVERNORS DAY Al
PILLSBURY A SUCCESS

What one little town did, by a spe
cial correspondent to the Times
Record:
Seldom, if ever has there been a
happier, more beneficial termination
of plans than that which occurred In
Pillsbury on Monday, March So
Everything seemed to give forth its
best, the weather was good and the
crowd was enthusiastic.
Gov. Hanna, the speaker of the day
arrived on the morning train which
was greeted by the strains OF March
Alboin' played by the city band. AS
the Governor stepped off the train the
school children who had marched
down in a body gave their yells.
An deliberately decorated carriage
having been provided for the Cover
nor, the school children and band pro-
ceeded to escort him to the school
house where the band again rendered
a beautiful selection.
School was then called and the
visitors were welcomed to the differ
ent classes where Gov. Hanna gave
interesting talks of what blind boys
and girls are taught to do and of his
visit to the School for the Deaf and
Dumb.
The morning, however, proved to
be only an introduction to a better
afternoon.
An excellent program was given at
the school house before crowd OF
some four or five hundred people.
The program opened at 2 o'clock by
selection from the Pillsbury orchestra,
which was followed by Dakota Land"
sung by the school children after
which a very pretty flag drill by
pupils from the primary and inter-
mediate grades was given.
Gov. Hanna gave an exceptionally
good speech, talking principally on
Education and It's Value to the State"
In his speech he especially recon-
mended the consolidated school and
showed how we could make North
Dakota a richer, better state by max
ing good roads and using more politl-
cal economy in the matter OF elec'
tons
Nrs. C.. O. Smith greatly pleased
the sc .cnce with TWO songs and

The visitors enjoyed the new school
building and were liberal in their
praise for it. One has only to visit
the Pillsbury Consolidated School to
see what vast improvement the con-
solidation is over the old method or

and the people of Pillsbury township
have every reason to be proud OF the
wise step they took in consolidating
their schools.
The people of Plllsbury have proved
without a doubt the truth of the old
adage lit is quality not quantity that
counts" for though Pillsbury, which
is still in its youth, is small, it is up
and doing and cannot remain small
long. It is bound to grow and become

Also remember, that though some OF

The report is in demand not only
by farmers wanting information about
tillage of their land but also by those
who are prospective settlers from 9th

These facts, disinterestedly obtain

value of the land in crop production.
County commissioners have secured
the survey in order to get the exact
valuation of the land for tax assess

BURNS PROVE FATAL.
Clothing of Lakewood Child Caught
From Open Fire.


Ernest, the tvo-year- old son of Norris
l.. Moore and wife, died at midnight Sun
day from burns received Sunday after
noon, when his clothing caught fire from
an open tire. The child was badly burned
about the chest, arms and face, and had
inhaled the flames.
Ernest and his little brother Norman,
two years Older, were playing about the
sitting-room. Mrs. Moore had stepped
from the room for but moment, when
the screams of the older child gave the
alarm. The younger child stood in the
doorway, its clothing ablaze. The mother
quickly smothered the flames.
DIR. Gibbs was summoned, and did all
that was possible to relieve the sufferings
of the little fellow, but the flames had
done their fatal work.
Ernest was a bright child. The grief
stricken parents have the sympathy of all.

PierrOt and Pierrette Mystery

The people of Ellsworth are all agog to
know what this Pierrot and Pierrette
mystery really is. The mystery will be
solved at Hancock hall Wednesday even
ing, March A.
1t was originally intended to hold the
entertainment in the Unitarian vestry,
but the promoters feel that, as so much
interest has been aroused, the vestry will
prove too small. Next week an outline
idea of the entertainment will be given,
but at present it will suffice to say
that it will mean over two hours of
continuous amusement A packed house
is confidently anticipated.
