We doubt, however, if the woman} lives who is fortunate enough to have drawn such a prize. We guess it must be some other "state." WE understand thtat our jovial friend, G. M.

Mr. Hatch's brother left for California a few days ago to 0ssist In the drive. No one acquainted with cur resources who can raise a dollar to buy stock will long stay away.

S. Moore, and weighs 1G3 pounds. It is a spring lamb, was raised entirely by hand, among a dozen others, and has had no extra care. It is a cross from a pure blooded Cotswold rain by a high-grade Merino ewe, which is thought to be very near the sheep for Montana. MESSRs. Schwab & Zimmerman, of the Cosmopolitan, and Messrs.

THE teams of Marks & Patterson will start for Carroll in a few days to bring up a load of government stores for the troops now stationed at Helena.

THE pay in Allen & Jacoby's bar dig gings is improving as they go lurther into the hill.

The largesi piece yet found weighs seven dollars. WE hear considerable complaint of late about the records of the District Court. It is thought that they should be kept within the county, and most of our citizens concur in this belief, but we suppose the Clerk of the Third Judicial District thinks differently. We learn that an effort will be made to have the records returned and kept in the county.

He has recently taken up 160 acres as a home stead, and 640 acres under the desert land act. A NUMBER of the good people of Diamond met at the school house last Sunday after noon to organize a Sunday School. The organization was easily effected, and bids fair to be well sustained. There is no better institution than a well regulated Sabbath School, and many a man owes his greatness to lessons learned there. We trust that the ladies of town will take a more lively inter est. The young men seem disposed to do their part. Dr. A. L Davison, who was chosen Superintendent, is a gentleman of ,considerable experience in conducting these schools, is an earnest worker, and will do all in his power to carry the good work for ward, and should have the hearty support of the entire community.
