John McCrory returned last even ing from a visit of several months to his relatives at Pasadena, Cal. tu This forenoon, just as the Record was ready for the press, word came of the death of Mr. G. S. Steadman, of Larvik. The death occurred at about 1 p. m. Wednesday. The disease was erysipelas, of which he was sick a short time. Deceased came to Emmons county six years ago this spring.

He is a man who has always tried to help him self. Afflicted as he is, he is an ex perienced carpet-weaver, and has done considerable work here at that business. But this is a dull year, and there very little of that work to do, and the presence of a big crowd at the dance would prove of great asisstance to a worthy man. How did it happen that so many boys were born in Emmons county on St. Patrick's day? We have heard of five, so far. Word comes from the southern part of the coun ty that Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sey mour are in the "Seventeenth--of Ireland" list. In writing to Charlie Carley the happy "dad describes the kidlet as follows: "Well, Charlev, it's a boy. Color, white. Weight, 8.'i pounds. Was going to name him Albert Phelps but his mother protested against the last name. So we have concluded to call him Pat rick—'Pat' for short. He doesn't kick, cry or knock in any way -just like his pa. Canadian and Yankee —that's a good combination. Tell the old chap at the Record office that I'll use my influence to get the boy's vote for him after awhile, if he gives him a good notice." Look here, A1.! Didn't you just remark that you weren't a knocker'.' Do you mean to intimate that the chief push of this rag of freedom will be running for office twenty-one years from now? But, then, "we don't know it may be so"—doing our canvassing with wings. However, we forgive you the intimation and send congratulations to you, Mrs. Seymour and the little ten lerfoot. The county commissioner- were in session Tuesday and yesterday. The bids for $17,500 of --eed-grain bonds were let to the Union Investment Company, of Minneapolis, through Edward Braddock, of Linton, their agent.
