home Of Mr.. and Mrs. L. D. Cotton
Friday Nov. %, in honor Of Carl A.
Bugge, who was departing for Nor
way, his old home, and the home Of
his aged mother, to be gone about .
year. Mr.. Bugge has just been able
70 get . passport, after at least
years attempt. His mother now ct
the age Of eighty-four will surely
be glad to see her boy again. Mr..
Bugge came to Burlington twenty
years ago, when there were only two
families here and started general
store, which has been maintained ever
since and enlarged from time to time
and is now one Of the largest general
stores along the line, employing many
clerks. Mr.. Bugge, has made his
living headquarters with Mr.. and Mrs.
L. Cotton these twenty years, never
having settled down in q home for
himself and so naturally they will
feel his departure keenly. This is not
the first big trip Mr.. Bugge has ar
ranged Indeed, the last years he
has been a man Of travel; has made
several trips to Norway and one
around the world, to say nothing Of
many trips to various parts of the
U. S. A., especially where big game
was to be hunted. It is safe say
that he is as well travelled as any
resident of North Dakota. The bust
ness now is in charge of Mr.. Einar
Madison who has been partner and
manager for this firm now about ten
years, and he has conducted the store
50 satisfactorily that Mr.. Bugge feels
free to leave any time. We shall look
for his return.
We are glad to learn from w. E.
Gross, our popular banker, that his
mother, who has undergone a very
serious operation is recovering nicely.
Mrs. Gross lives in Wisconsin.
Chas. Fuller, carrier on the North
Route, with residence in Burlington,
has had hard time with his herd of
cattle this winter. He lost six head.
At this writing the remainder of the
herd is o. K. and we hope it will not
again be troubled. Mr.. Fuller has
some very valuable registered stock,
and the death Of any makes big loss.
He has rented out his place west of
town, rand has a man in charge of his
stock while he and his family live in
town, so they may have the benefit
of the local school.
Dan Conan has been selling ice to
the local trade. The present cold
snap will certainly give it enough
depth to use for filling ice houses.
Rev. Fred w. Christ has received
4 shipment of bibles which he has
for sale in his study at the Manse.
If you want to see nice Christmas
present in the form Of bible or
testament call at the Manse. Also
fine line of Bible stories for the chill
dren.
Mr.. Albert Schultz has been in from :
his farm on North Prairie several
times lately. We learn with regret
that he and his family may move to
Valley City to superintend the large !!
farm that his father, Mr.. Fred Schultz
now deceased, left to his estate. Al
bert has raised as much wheat per acre
as anybody in these three dry years, 7
and we will be sorry to lose him. T
