IS , 190i , a girl. Dave and Larkin Hancock were in town a few days the past week. Miss Julia Query is assisting in Morey's store during the holiday trade. John Novak and his son William were in town last Saturday on business. August Epke was down from Crookston Tuesday buying Christ mas goods. Geo. W. Keller , of Cascade , came up Tuesday to see the sights of our city. Richard Osborn was in town trading Saturday and called at this office on business. Mrs. Norman , of Gordon , came down Friday morning to deliver her Chiistmas order of books. S. L. Ellis was in town the first of the week again for a loasl of goods for his store at Simeon. Miss Ada Stinard carno home from her school in the Tetherow district , Saturday , spending Sun day at home. Ira Stuart was down from Cody , last Saturday , the first time for a long time , but we suppose he keeps busy at home. Convenient improvements have been made at the Chicago hotel , making three small rooms into one large one for an office. Hans Ulrich was in town Satur day stepping high. He tolcl us to send his paper to Sparks so that he could get the news before it got old. The banks and postoffice will be closed on next Monday as a legal holiday. Since Christmas comes on Sunday the day folio wing is the legal holiday. Mrs. Moon and daughter will start Friday morning for Iowa , where they wilt visit for a month or more with parents , other rela tives and friends. Joe Jennett made Bob Gillaspie a present of a § 5 Stetson hat for a Christmas present the other day. Say , its been a long time since the Editor had a new hat. Miss Inez Pettycrew , Clinton Collett and Geo. Hornby returned to Valentine Saturday morning from University Place to enjoy a two weeks vacation at home. E. F. Gillaspie came up from his ranch last week with his wife and mother to see them safely off on a trip to their old home in Ar kansas. They started Sunday i morning. B. Hartigan and brother , who has been working in the U. S. land office , leave Friday morning for Hastings , to be present at the mar riage of their sister , Miss Anna , to Alvin E. Murray of Hastings. Charley Tackett came down from the reservation Monday and tells us that he predicted the last storm. ' Charley brought a sorrel horse along with him to sell which weigh ed 1060 pounds and offers to sell it at $100. Last Saturday D. C. Sullivan , Jerry Warden and John R. and Wm. H. LeLacheur were in town from Steene precinct , the first named being complainant in a suit against the Standard Cattle Co. for damages. A. H. Stees , of Kennedy , re turned this week from a trip to the World's fair and other places , having been gone a couple of months , nearly. Stees always meets a great many friends every where to to'e 9 good &Uw. Frank Krampert and wife , of Woodlake , have a girl , born about a month or so ago , so A. W. Peter son told us while in town Friday. Frank was up here several months ago and said he wished for a girl as he had several boys. Al Thstcher came up from tho Post Tuesday to stay at home. It seems like old times to see him on the streets again and Al no doubt is glad to get back. It has been several months since Mr. Thacher went to the post to have a car buncle cut out of his neck. Henry Murphy and son were in town on business Monday. They drove up through the storm Sun day and found it pretty severe. The wind blew fiercely from the northwest , though it was not as cold as it usually is in such a storm. Mon day the weather was fine again and continues so. C. V. Thorn came down from Ring Thunder last Saturday to do some trading and meet his sister , Miss Luella , who , on account of the cold wave and storm Sunday , couldn't accompany him home. Mr. Thorn is looking well and en joys himself at his work on the reservation as teacher. Miss Luella Thorn came up from Lincoln last Thursday to visit friends in Valentine and vicinity a couple of weeks. Miss Luella surprised many of her friends here , as it has been four years since she left here and has grown taller and she was not expected by many who perhaps had to guess at first who the lady was who seemed to know so many people. THE DEMOCRAT office has just received a fine lot of enamel blot ters which we will furnish with your advertisment or business card printed upon them in lots of 100 to 1000 at $1.25 for 100 , § 2.00 for 250 , 8o.OO for 500 or $5.00 per 1000 for blotters of best grade 120 pound enamel back , size 4x9iinches , as sorted colors. The small size 3x6i inch blotters at a lower price. Call and see us. The stores have a lot of goods displayed for Christmas trade. If you don't get to buy Christmas presents before Christmas you should come in after Christmas and see the splendid displays of goods. The windows trimmed up with holiday effects and counters loaded with pretty things make us wish we were young again and lived in the present age as a boy. But away back thirty or forty years ago we appreciated a stock ing full of candy and nuts perhaps j a < * much as childrenof today do } the numerous presents that are j bought so cheap. Several persons have inquired whether or not it would be neces sary to establish a residence on their 640 homestead within the six months as prescribed by homestead law. Some have the impression that an extension of time to es tablish a residence was granted or would be granted. We can say that we have it from reliable au thority that no extension of time had been granted to homesteaders and that it is not likely that such ex- ' tension of time would be granted as was talked of recently in rela tion to the 640 acre homesteads. Leniency may be practiced where there are no contestants but it is unsafe to assume that Uncle Sam is going to make a special law for the benefit of those who want to hold a 640 acre homestead without.
