Messrs. Bargcr and Buttery started

rcr and family are doing well and that
they wish to be remembered to all
their Emmons county friends.
There are mighty few localities that
have more rain this summer than this
part of North Dakota. Saturday
night another soaker left things in
fine shape. 1t has turned out warm
of late and the growing conditions are
ideal. There should be bumper c.op
of everything but corn and that will
not be total failure
Automobiles were thicker than
flies around honey yesterday morning
along tho Linton trasburg road.
Practically all cars that tried to make
the trip by night found safe rest
ing place in mud-holc One load
left Strasburg at II p. m. and
reached Linton at 4:30 a. M via the
walking route.
Through some mistake in their adj
vertising department the Information

Cash Store named as local agent The
Linton Bazaar is handling this line and

The heavy rain the night before the
Fourth played havoc with the ar
engagements of good many Linton
ties. Several were bound for Bis

go to Ashley and Attorney Scott Cam

Pollock. Scott made the start for
Pollock, but his car broke down and
he could not make the trip The
band didn't attempt to tackle the long
drive to Ashley, and some of those
who started for Bismarck turned back
at laZelton
