The past week has been "long" on
dances and other events of social fes-

long, long way to Easter.

The annual party of the Langdon
woman's club, which for several years
past has been pleasantly anticipated
as a social function to occur during
the month of February, had been
planned for Tuesday Of this week. For
this year, however, we have been
given to understand it is Indefinitely
postponed.
One of the Democrats new adver-
tisers this week is j. F. Ramage, the
man who has made the Ford famous
among the buyers of automobiles in
Cavalier county. His list of sales
last season was a record breaker and
the 1915 models of that car promise
to discount last seasons sales by a
wide margin.
Langdon's high school basket ball
team is expecting to play a return
game here tomorrow with the high
school of Park River. If the arrange
ments as planned are completed both
the girls and the boys Gives will
play. This would insure an attend
ance to see the games that would tax
the capacity Of the gymnasium.
On page seven this week will be
found the opening chapters of our new
serial story, "Peg O My Heart" In
the line of fiction we honestly believe
in presenting this story to our readers
that it is one of the best present day
novels on the market. Don't miss
reading this installment. We guaran-
tee you will keep right along reading
it up to the closing chapter.
According to the Walhalla Noun
taineer last week Co. Com'r Alex
Russell is co%nvalescing after an at
tack of pneumonia, with which he was
seized since his return from the Janu-
airy meeting of the board in Langdon.
For several days his condition was
considered quite serious. but Langdon
friends will be pleased to learn that
he is much improved, although still
very weak.
This week the Democrat would
direct the attention of its readers to
the new changes of advertisements for
the Cavalier Co. Implement Co., the
Schefter Clothing House, Boyd's
Dept. Store, D. G Mcdonald, the
harness and hardware man and the A.
Schulke big store. In fact there isn't
a single business firm in Langdon but
what is making a special effort to in
terest the trade of Langdon and the
surrounding neighborhood during the
coming week for visitors to the three
days farmers convention.
