The Collett sisters returned last week from a visit to the fair. Ted Ormesher was in from his ranch on the Schlagel Tuesday. C. F. Gallon. , the Sparks mer chant , was up Monday on busi ness. vYank O'Bryan was in town from the reservation Monday with a bunch of horses. Judge Zarr returned from Lusk , \Yyo. \ , Tuesday morning , wheic he hi\s been working the past sum mer. mer.Mr. Mr. Swain brought in an apple last week which he thinks is finer than any he has seen of theYealthy variety. E. Stilwell , who lives several miles south of Simeon , drove in Monday and spent a couple of days in town. I. M. llice and wife and W. A. Kimbell and wife went out to the lakes south of town for a week's outing Monday morning. W. A. Petty crew and son Floyd , OliverYalcott \ and Frank Fischer , Jr. , departed Tuesday for St. Louis to spend a week at the fair. Mrs. McDonald was down from Crookston the first of the week , having her store building , recent ly occupied by > Frank Fischer , rc- calcimined and repaired. AYm. Caton is down from his ranch on White river visiting with his wife who has been staying with her parents , Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Towne , the past two months. James C. Quigley left Monday morning for Bellevue College , at Bellevue , Xebr. , where he will take a preparatory course , prior to entering the state university. Oats was a good crop in Cherry county this year. Wheat also did well and corn makes more than an average crop , but spuds , murphies , praties or potatoes , the best ye ever seen ; bigger , smother , better and more of 'em than ever before. Mr. and Mrs. W. II. Carter , of Cody , returned Sunday morning from the World's Fair and stopped in Yalentine over Sunday , visiting Mrs. Shore. They enjoyed ex cellent weather and good health during their stay at the fair. The water in the Minncchaduza has been so low the past week that the mill had to shut down to wait for a steam engine , that we under stand is to be put up to use in case of low water , for the pumping and electric lights as well as grinding. Grandpa Brown walked out to his son William's , 3miles north west of Crookston , a few days ago and last Saturday they drove in to town. Grandpa Brown is in his 92nd pear and is a spry old men yet to walk 17 miles without be coming fatigued. J. A. Hooton has again resumed charge of the Valentine House and his many old patrons arc glad to see him back. Mr. Hooton will furnish a first class table with the best the market affords and invites you one and all to call on him l when you want a square meal and square treatment at prices that are j right. Mrs. Easmus Andersen came down from Eosebud last week for a few days visit with her sister , Mrs. Hammond , and friends in town. Our paper was crowded last week svhen we learned she was in town and the forms locked up. We tried to persuade the foreman of our office to let us tie a few ex tra locals to the forms but our time and space would not aliowit. 11 Senator O'Eourke was in town from up the road a couple of days last week. E. J. Burkett spoke to a smal crowd of people here last Thurs day evening in the court hou e , considering the reputation of the man. Exchanges up the road and elsewhere also report small audi ences. There were more women than men to hear the speaker. An effort upon the part of some of the school girls to spring a class yell on Burkett at the beginning was well meant but it sounded coarse. This i.s the laud of spuds. They'll grow the dryest season , and have always made a good crop in Cherry county. The price of 'em in the fall is oO to 50c and by spring they're worth a dollar a bushel. Every farmer ought to have a potato patch of five to ten acres or more if he can aii'ord the expense of planting them. We know of people who have potatoes to sell every year and make more money off of 'em than they do on cattle or corn , though they raise some of each and they all pay. II. S. Savage purchased the liv ery barn of Chas. Sherman last week , and as announced , formed a partnership with Hammond & Bullis to be known as The Star Livery company. The Sherman barn will be used for the livery jusiness and the Hammond & Bui- is barn for feed and sale stable. Mr. Hammond will have charge of ; hg feed barn and Messers. Savage ind Bullis will take charge of the ivery business. Commercial tra e will be better taken care of under the new arrangement and the feed business will be more satisfactory to patrons of that line. These gentlemen are experienced horse men and we do not know of any one more capable than they arc to take good care of a team. They are courteous and obliging men , worthy of a share of the livery and feed business Thcv invite all old customers and many new ones to call on them. 0. W. Ilahn came in to get his daughter to take her home from school last Friday and we mot him on the street during the afternoon before school was out and had a little talk with him , during which time the thought occurred to us that we've thought of several times before and we're going to tell you all about it. Mr. Halm owns o20 acres of laud upon the table north of town several miles , and he has been farming it ever since we have lived in the county. It's a good average farm. There's many simi lar around here and many men that we might have mentioned in stead of Mr. Halm , but we know these conditions are much the same and that Mr. Ilahn makes a good living , drives to town whenever he feels like it , has a little money to spend any old time and spends more and has more left than any 1GO acre farmer living in the east ern part of the state or Kansas whose farm is worth and sells for 8i,000 or $5',000. Where could Mr. Halm go to better his con dition or make more than he does with the same investment and amount of labor expended ? There is no place within our knowledge where good land can be bought as cheap as in Cherry county. It won't always be as cheap as it is now. Those who want to sell should find buyers with little trou ble at the prices now askecl for land. Our advice to people buy ing land is to pick out something that suits you and pay the price asked. We have not heard of any one asking too much or more than their lapis worth.
