ald of Crookston were pleasant visit
ors in our city last week and while

N. S. Rowley of Kennedy who has
been in Cherry county for several
years and is a success in the cattle
business was * in our city last Friday
to get a load of supplies. Mr. Row
ley didn't forget the editor am1 by
action more emphatic than a wordy
visit made us realize that he wished
us a happy and prosperous new year.
We appreciate these efforts on the
part of our patrons and during the
coming year we hope to give them
the best local paper that has hereto
fore been published in the west.
R. M. Faddis was a .pleasant visitor
this week at the office of the DEMO
CRAT and speaks words ot comfort
and good cheer for the new year.
Mr. Faddis , whose stock brand as
R. M. Faddis & Co. , appears among
our advertisers is one of the largest
stock owners in the county. His
brother-in-law , Wm. Steadman is a
partner with him and their ranch is
extensive with large numbers of cat
tle feeding on their range. They
have lately purchased the ranch of
G. W. Burge which makes a valuble
addition to their already large poss
essions.
Peter Wantz of Johnstown made
us a pleasant visit last Saturday
while he was in town attending to
some land office business. Many
ranchmen of this county are now do
ing well raising cattle and life Is eas
ier with them now than when they
began here years go. Land was
plentiful then : opportunities were
numerous but hardships were many
and privations were common to all
who now live contentedly with sufflc
ient incomes. These are the men
who make a country worth living in
and are entitled to some of the good
things of life ,
B. B. Crouiu writes us a nice letter
from Verona , Nebraska enclosing a
dollar for another years subscription
to the DEMOCRAT. We heartily ap
preciate Mr. Cronin's kind words and.
bis encouragement will help us to
make a greater success thanformer
ly. If everyone could scatter seeds
of kindne s as some do our world
would be a brighter place in which to
live. The sparkling gems , the diam
onds , pearls and precious metals are
as nothing compared to our language
which can be coined into expressions
that are almost sublime and before
-which melts every obstacle and all is
at our command if we only emb ace
the opportunity. There is no copy
right on the English language , thank
God. and it's free use in scattering
sunshine will bring a sure reward to
the user. The good will and wishes
of the DEMOCRAT extends to the
worthy people who show courtesies to
us. Mr. Cronin is thankful for a
bountiful crop and from the tone of
his letter to us we know he is deserv-

" There is stored in the mind of every
reader of this paper at least one story
worth telling , for no life is without
some experience , adventure or spice
of romance out of the ordinary hap
pening. Ever since the human
i'cfogne began to wag , a clever tale
has been keenly relished by all , but
very few people who have something
to tell gain the public ear through
some partiality or because some one
who happens to be a leading spirit
does not give ear nor will he permit
of friendship between that person
and any of his friends for fear of a
possible rival for their affections or
smiles. So strong is this prejudice in
some , that instead of wavering in the
least , they will risk a complete som
ersault of public sentiment which
would throw them forever in the
background rather than that some
rival should gain an audience by
thHr consent. Some haughty spirit
vtfeild roam unmolested .where a high
collar and haughty mien coupled with
a sonorous voice and anexhaulted po
sition was the idol of the masses if
that were of constant duration.
There comes a time when even those
on the pinnacle of fame must look
for the support of the people to main-
tain their position. An empty head
may rattle loud and lonj , * . bump up
against competitors who may also be
lightweights but with a diversion of
ideas and changes in social condit
ions , the crooked straw with the me
andering course will no longer be an
indication of "the way the wind
blows. " Public sentiment does not
always take a straight course and in
cessantly follow it but is no less se
vere in condemnation of a crooked
path or guide post after having once
been led astray by it.
