Steve Noxon was among many Val
ley City citizens to visit Fargo this
afternoon.
Herb Weston was Fargo visitor

0. T. Hart, the land man, was a
Casselton visitor this afternoon.
The nice rain that visited us today
and last night has done whole lot
toward starting the grass and grain
that has been sown..
Jesse Marquisee, Of the Wardrobe
Clothes Shop, went down to Fargo
yesterday to look after some business
matters.
Mrs. 7. D. Swartout, of this city,
has as her guest, Mrs. E. D. Tucker,
who arrived from Moorhead, Mimi,

In writing up the article about DR..
Pray's new Office building the other
day, in a rush, we somehow or other
did not get the location as clear as
we might. The new Offices will be To-
Gated next to the postoffice and on
Fourth street facing the Times Record
office, which we naturally think is
one of the best locations in town.
We hear that some very unsports-
man sportsmen are shooting ducks
and geese. There is both a federal
and state law which prohibits spring
shooting and it is about time that
these fellows read up little. 'Nuff
sed.
Mr.. and Mrs. George E. Berg, of
Kensal, arrived in the city over the
500 line last evening. Mr.. Berg left
on No. 8 for Toledo, Ohio, to help
drive across country Overland cars.
For the first time in our history, on
account Of the war, freight cars are
not obtainable for transportation of
automobiles and if any dealers want
Overland cars they have to go to To-
edo to get them and drive them across
country. Mr.. Berg is in the imple-
ment business at Kensal.
$ Mrs. Hugh Mcdonald has returned
TO the city from the sunny south, she
was accompanied al far as Kansas
City by Mrs. H. A. Kaufman and
laughter, from two months stay. at
Biloxi, Miss, on the Gulf of Mexico.
! Robt. Kee, one of our old friends
from Sanborn, came down on No. 8
last night to meet some of his family,
and returned on the local.
&c w. Shelter, of the Equity Ex-
change, was home again last night to
visit his family and expects to leave
again this evening. Mr.. Smeltzer
says that the Exchange is doing s; fine
business and growing all the time.
He is going over from the stock de-
partment into the grain department,
going into the presidents Office next
week as assistant to that official, and
Mr.. Smeltzer wants us to say that he
will be pleased to see any of the North
Dakota boys when they are at the
Twin Cities, and particularly anyone
from Barnes county. The Times Rec
ord is pleased to see Mr.. Smeltzer
forging ahead in the Equity Exchange
business.
While the reporter was rubbering
around the Hotel Kindred office last
evening looking for news story, our
attention was arrested by noticing
Deputy United States Marshal J. H.
Trotter having in company two rather
suspicious but very good looking gen
tlemen. Now when you see the gov
eminent marshal keeping tab on
couple of fellows you naturally think
right away will he have them hanged
or shot at daybreak by firing squad.
On asking what these gentlemen had
done they were Jerry Whitcomb
and J. P. Wolf-two old time and very
popular travelling nen-we were in
formed that they were being accom-
panied into Fargo, not as prisoners,
but, says the genial Trotter, they are
two of the finest men I know and I
like their company. We felt better
