f-wm WILLISTON GRAPHIC Telephone No. 73. rhe OKAPHIC IS entered at the Post Office A* WUliaton. N. D.. aecond claaa mall matter. Official Paper of Williams County. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT "WIULISTON. N. D. R. H. COPKLAND, Williston, N. BDITOM. WILLARD B. OVERSOW, D., from a October 2. 1902. Ripples from Stony Creek. Shame on you, for taking the corn blind pig. Will Jones has gone down to the Dog Leu to see his ma. Last week B. C. Matthew* refused $19 per acre for his farm. Mrs. Wt 8. Dunn arrived home San day, after an absence of five months. Henceforth if we have a sneaking look, think nothing of it, we are about to join the W. C. T. U. Mr. Stevens shipped 21 carloads of beef and Wm. Adams one carload of •heep from Avoca, Sunday. Charles Traeger, ofOsseo, Wis., coa •in of Mrs. L. F. Rowell, is visiting for a few days with the Howell's. We would suggest that some of our neighbors put up some more hitching posts. Of course, door knobs will do. At the republican caucus held at Stony Creek, Wm. Jones, L. F. Rowell and Peter Hendrickson were chosen as dele* gates to the county convention. I Look Out For Feve: Biliousness and liver disorders at this season may be prevented by cleansing the system with DeWitt's Little Early Bisers. These famous little pills do not gripe. They move the bowels gently, but copiously, and by reason of the tonie properties, give tone and strength to the glands. Brownell & McPbee. Nesson Correspondence. How about Jim Hill paying no road or bridge tax? Old Flannery should soon be on the map again by all accounts. Walter Schroeder is fencing up his hay, building anew barn and digging a well. Mrs. W. Wilkinson is back from Minot, and caught quite a bad cold on her trip. We hear of another ferry going in here at the end of Tobacco creek. Bay peo ple are interested. Charley Schroeder is fixing bis fences around his hay and houee. He has a fine crop of oats and potatoes. H. A. Kelson finished threshing the oats on bis desert claim Tuesday morn ing, and started in on Fred Smith's wheat. Professor Bennett came out on top at the caucus. He is an old-time-dyed-in* the*wool republican, and no mistake. Hurrah! for Bennett! The caucus at Hofflund was quite a surprise to some would-be politicians. They simply were not in it. Between 60 and 70 voters were present. It takes an eastern dogie to stick his head through a fence after bis neigh bor's hay on Sunday or any other day. Give me an old-time native at any old time. What has become of the road and bridge fund belonging to this end of the county? We think some Sunday-closing (Sarah) should look up this matter. It would be of some interest to the county. A Methodist minister preached at the Nesson school bouse Sunday afternoon, and had quite a congregation. Please, Mr. Editor, is it legal for him to pass around the hat for money? Is he not selling bis ware on Sunday as well as a store-keeper? Perhaps, we have free trade in Jesus. A Chicago Opinon. "When it comes to the question of lux urious elegance neither the moguls of bygone Oriental history nor the rulers of latter day nations can be classed with the traveling public who patronize the Vorth-Western Limited." This famous team runs every night between Minne apolis, St. Paul and Chicago. For full particulars, lowest rates, etc., address T. W.Teasdale, G. P. A., St. Paul, Minn. or E. A. Gray, Gen. Agent, Helena, Mont. Denis McCarty, the old democratic war-horse of Wallace county, was over from the south side yesterday on court business. M. G. Markell, acting as deputy sher iff, visited McHenry county this week with a subpoena for Fred H. Bnckwalter, who was wanted here as a witness in the blind pig cases. He brought his man with him. A newspaper man is an enemy to bulletin board advertising on general principals, bat there are occasions when bulletin board may bring better results than a paper. The editor of an ex change remarks that be observed one in front of a store in his city not long ago. which read: "B 4 Buy Pants Come in and See Oars." He went in and there was not a confounded man clerk in the store so he bought a fan and walked oat.—Exchange. W. C. T. U. A curiosity in the shape of summary justice was enacted in the city of Grand Forks a few days ago, when about 4 o' clock in the afternoon States Attorney Wineman was telephoned from Emera do to the effect that a man was selling whiskey to threshing crews in that vi cinity and at the time was in Emerado, where he had also disposed of some li quor. States Attorney Wineman at once 'phoned to have the man arrested and taken to the city. The offender was at once apprehended by Constable George Seivert, who took him to the city on the evening train. Four hours after the man was selling his stimulants be was doing time with Sheriff Collins. States Attorney Wineman is to be con gratulated on two things: the rapidity of the justice meted out, and the fact that the county was saved the expense of a trial. At Carpio a man established a blind pig inspite of warning that it would not be tolerated,.so thirty women marched down there one day, and when they left all fixtures* bottles, kegs, etc., were in splinters. Deuboff has banished its "pigs". Richland county's pigs found the busi to expensive. At Sourie druggists' permits have been cancelled. In Pembina county a threshing crew played government agents and took a "pisger's" beer and so the revival goes on. One extreme brings on another. Let us have the other extreme for awhile. W. C. T. U.

The republicans of Williams county will hold their. nominating odnvention at the courthouse next Saturday. Hav ing implicit faith that thS republicans of Williamauounty are Invincible, can didates for the seyeraroffices are spring ing up fromievery qntiter thicker than flies upon al cast-may piece of beef. Some of thelaspijfants are capable and worthy menibujf then? are others of whom as muohicannot l»e said. Nearly every man clawns that he believes in the "survival of the fittest." Now let us watch and see how this belief will be verified in November. The Minneapolis Journal has a scheme whereby any one subscribing to that paper for one year can get a $1,000 ac cident policy, good for one year, for 50 cents in addition to the cost of the pa per. They also are offering $25,000 in cash prises for the nearest guess on the total vote of New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan this fall Every three months paid in advance is good for one guess.
