COM M~UNICATION.

To The Forum: I have advocated
a public market for Fargo for the last
ten years. The last year I was a
member of the city council / got part
of the money appropriated to buy site.
Now the tax payers demand a pub
lie market. 1 noted by the paper that
MI. Jordan has already selected a
site. If the commissioners want to
kill off the market they want to 10
cate it on the site that Mr.. Jordan
selected and I will guarantee that it
will be a failure from the, start. Who
ever heard Of a public market being
located on the stub-erld of a street,
with warehouses on both sides, and a
switch engine working on n end? The
ladies would enjoy very much stand
ing on the market covered with smoke
and cinders from the switch engine.
1t is up to the commissioners to give
the city Of Fargo a decent market and
not kill it off like the municipal light
plant. N. Mcclellan.

My goodness lit don't seem no

yet we must admit the faclSt that
IL months has passed & went &
gone & beeen added to the musty &
moth-et past, as we might say.
How time does fly.
But the flight of time however
amt what we started in to write
about not by joyful. What
we started in to write about was
''Marriage-& Why Amt There
More of EN- in Bingville? Anser-
1--WE Don't Know!" that's what we
started in to write about.
Being as we are now about to en-

that this subjeckt is a partickler
good one for a eddytoriul sinst
June is the month of the hole yr
when more marriages is supposed
Ito take place than in any other
month, but as far as Bingville is
concerned this seems to be merely
a superstition.
We would take it kindly if some
buddy who knows would inform
US jest why there amt been more
marriages in our midst during the
past yr than there has been? Who
is responsible for this, we ask
Has the sakred institooshion of
marriage became dufunckt in our
midst, or what?
Why we can reco11eckt only a
few yrs back when marriages in
Bingville was so common that they
sloeercely existed emmy comment a
tall-young folks was splicing up
and hitching together for better or
worse all the time, but now it's diff
ferent. There amt been marriage
in Bingville that we've heerd of
for several wks & if there had been
we persoom we would of heerd of
it, becuz as editor & prop. of the
Bugle we hear of most everything.
Is the reason there amt been
more marriages becuz of the high
cost of living ?-or is it becuz the
girls of this age and generashion
expecks more than our mothers &
Igrandmothers did? The trubble
with Bingville girls seams to be
