MT. CARMEL

Frank Hoffarth was one of those
from this neighborhood who sold a
horse to the st. Paul buyers at the
top market price last week.
George Stroh, a son in law of John
Fischer, came up from his home at
Sanborn, N. D., on Tuesday of last
week to look after business matters.
John Hoffarth, from Eckelston, N.
D., has been a visitor the past week
at the John Fischer home and with
others of the Mt. Carmel settlement,
who have relatives and friends in the
southern part of this state.
Alex. Borho, who has been making
Mt. Carmel his home recently, was a
business visitor at Wales last Thurs
day. 1t is understood that he is plan
ming to move to Mowbray, and will
open a blacksmith shop there. Alex
and his wife have a host of friends
among the people of Mt. Carmel who

An event of interest which should
have been chronicled last week was
the housewarming party at the newly
completed home of Andrew He'll,
when his friends and neighbors, to the
number of a hundred or more, were
entertained and had a splendid time.
The new farm home which Mr.. He'll
and his family moved into late in the
fall is one of the most comfortable
and up-to-date to be found in the Mt.
Carmel settlement and the wish is
expressed by all that they may long
live to enjoy the many comforts it
affords.
Chas. He'll, accompanied by his son,
Frank, were at Grand Forks a part of
last week to visit the brother Of the
former, John He'll, who has been
several weeks in st. Michael's hospital
under treatment. Word has recently
been received that the patients condi-
ton has weakened since an operation
the doctors had decided he was COM
PEELED to undergo. Later reports that
have reached here from the Forks
show Mr.. He'll as being somewhat
better.
Mt. Carmel has a band and the past
two years it has been engaged to fur
nish music at the county fair in Lang
don. The people of Mt. Carmel are
proud of their band and since the
holidays, have been thinking what a
good time they could have if the band
would only re-organize and give US a
concert once in a while. If the boys
want any encouragement to finance
the running of their band we feel sure
that it would be forthcoming. Now's
the time they should be practicing up
their music for the summer season of
p%icnics, celebrations and county fairs.
We want to hear Mt. Carmel foot its
own horn.
On the occasion of the Mt. Carmel
home talent entertainment held in the
hall here about a week ago the per-
formers put on their show to an audi.
ence that occupied the entire standing
room of the hall after the seats had
all been filled and we might also say
without being accused of fattery that
the program they gave was as good as
the audience was big. The musica.
numbers were given by the Mt. Carme.
orchestra, which is comprised of foul
pieces, in addition to which there
were two other features of the ever
ing's entertainment that also were
deserving of at least a passing men
tion. We refer to the black face
piece, entitled "Big jim" in which
there were nine performers and the
two-act comedy, "Prof. James" will

Torrance which was put on under the
direction of Principal Henry Domas,
of the Mt. Carmel school, had for it.
purpose the raising of funds for thu
purchase of new music for the churcl
choir and we understand the proceeds
of the evening amounted to something
like $50.
Now that Mt. Carmel has a cores
