DUNN COUNTY

q O4C61llSoIl week
Rev. J. G. Dickey, who has charge Of
the Congregational churches of this
section of the state, was up in Dunn
county making arrangements to build
churches and otherwise helping the
resident pastors. In view Of the fact
that the writer and Rev . Dickey
'honyocked" together down by the
meandering waters of the Little Mis-
souri, in extreme southern Billings
county, we must say that we were
mighty glad to see him. We also
note that he retains the happy faculty
Of making as many friends as readily
up here in the balmy, peaceful atmos-
phere of industrious recitude as he
did down yonder. where among the
sylvan glades various and sundry of
the early population were planted in
the turf with their boots still on and
their feet toward the river. We
both survived.
The News:-The superintendent of
the Occident Elevator company, was
here last week and stated that the
company has 1874 elevators scattered
all over the northwest, and that the
best grain they handled was taken in
at Killdeer and that Killdeer furn-
ished the best grade of milling wheat
on the market. On account of the
smut in various wheat sections the
millers are paying a good premium on
first grade milling wheat and Killdeer
is one of the few points in the north
west where this wheat can be secured.
l.. E. George marketed 300 bushels
of No. 1 hard wheat here and was
paid a premium price which amounted
to a nice little sum in the aggregate.
His yield of this wheat was 1856 bush
els on 40 acres, or better than %
bushels per acre. One crop of this
kind at present prices more than
pays for the land. Several other
farmers in this locality were paid
fancy premium prices for their wheat.
There was no evidence Of smut in this
section of the country and all grades
of grain we're better than the average
in other parts of the state.

On Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock
about fifty friends of Grant Palmer
secretly gathered at the Manning
hall to enjoy an evening with him be-
fore he leaves for Halliday to take up
Ibis interests at that place. It was in
the form of a farewell reception sur
prise and it was certainly a surprise
to Grant. After all the guests had
arrived and were seated at the small
tables placed around the large room,
two of the young men were sent forth
to bring the gallant host. When
Grant made his appearance through
the inner door, words were beyond
question to express his feelings and
the friends who had planned the. re-
ception well knew of their success.
