TALK OF THE TOWN
James Mangan , ol the post , was up
the past week.
John H. Bachelor was transacting
business in toxvn'this wae'k.
Most of the hay is put up now and
we are almost ready for the cold
weather.
Max E. Viertel , the Crookston
merchant , was in our city last Friday
eveninjr ,
Some people are surprised that
they are not noticed as much as they
would like to be.
W. H. Allison , of Chesterfield , is in
town this week , proving1 up on a fine
quarter of hay land. ,
J. E , Cochran and his brother ,
Percival M. , spent two or three days
in our city this week.
A high minded man , public spirited ,
too good to.do a little mean trick is a
help to any community.
Ed , August and George Luther were
up from Hooper this week. They are
interested in a ranch near Kilgore.
Agent McChesney and wife , of
Rosebud , A were registered at the
Donoher this week , also John B. Tripp
anddauffhter.
"
Our friend , A. E Thacher , has
been quite sick during the past week ,
but we are glad to reporMuin better
and able to be up.
Mrs. Will Clarkson and children

S , A. Raw's , quartermaster clerk ,

Mrs. Catherine McDonald , of
Crookston , paid Valentine a visit dur.
ing the past week. Mrs , McDonald is
intending to move her building down
from Crookston some time in the near
future.
Chas. Maxwell and Sam Perry re
turned from St. Mary'stni&sionschool
last Sunday where they have been
repairing the inside of the builcMng.
They have been employed there fur
the past six weeks or two month * .
F. W. Jersig departed for Kansas
City yesterdav morning to help his
family to move up here. Mr. Jereig
is a pleasant gentleman to meet and

'
road.
E. J. Davenport and C. H. Cornell
were delegates from Cherry county
to the Republican state convention
last week. They are good citizens
and we like them. They are respect =
ed by Valentine people , but we can't '
endorse their poiitlddl views.
Some people are Continually nab
bing at others about thfs and that
they do not like. They complain too
much we think. They are our friends
and in their feeble way try to make
us over to suit them. We should be
patient.with them. They often mean
well.
There is an unusually big demand
this year for hotel accommonations.
Valentine has lots of hotels , but what
we need for the growing and in
creased trade is better buildings ,
People who can't find rooms at the
Donoher or Union hotels must depend ,
upon some other hotel which may al
so be full and then they go away and
complain that Valentine people are
not hospitable.
*
We understand there is to be
several companies sent to Foit Nio *
brara soon. This should have been
done long ago. Our people are very
patient , but when continuously
neglected are ready to make a com
plaint to either make use of the post
at this place or get out of the way
and let citizens use it and the yast
area of ground surrounding it. Uncle
Sam has been very diliatory concern
ing the. occupation of this post for
the past othree years and there is
room for a kick ,

terwards he was married to a young
lady at Sutherland , Neb. , and brought
her here to live and to make their
homes with us. They proved them
selves worthy of the esteem of our
people , and they prospered in their
store. Lant fall Mr. Farnham's
