that there was no tMcClusky, but .
visit to this thriving little city will
convince the most ;skeptical one tina;
there is a city of modern means and
up-to-date in every respect. The
land that comprises the county Of
Sheridan was the east end of Nc

the people in them. Still there are
many who think that this section OF
the United States is a barren snow.

no n wants, except those those

and can not get away; and yet there
Eare a few that still believe that the
Indian would get You II YOU did not

and give them an insight into one

lions of the good old y. s. a. You
can grow anything in central North
Dakota that yon can grow in Iowa,
Indiana, Illinois or Ohio. It will be
lard to find a garden that does not
have the following variety Of yege'
tables growing: Onions, lettuce. Fad.
ishes, cucumbers. cabbage, berries OF
all kinds, water melons. musk mel.
