QUALITY STORE.
^Quality has ever been our aim. Nothing so surely and so strongly builds
up a business as merit The farmer or mechanic who buys our goods is on
the "quality" side of the argument. He believes as we do, that it pays to
sell products that will produce pleased and permanent customers. Don't
forget this fact that you will keep in mind "quality" long after price is
forgotten.
^Our motto is: Good goods consistant with reasonable price your money
refunded if you are not satisfied. In our store can be found a complete
stock of General Merchandise. Call in and let us show you arround.
Tlf you are in need of a spring suit let us take your measnre and fit you
with the best the worlds tailors can furnish. We believe we represent
the best clothing tailors in the world and those who have bought of us say
that our prices are as low as those who are handling inferior goods.
•Jin condition we wish to state that we have just unloaded a car of the
Gladstone Pearless Flour. It gives the best of satisfaction and we can
sell it a little cheaper than our competitors can sell the Minnesota fllour
our customers highly recommend it, and we believe we are selling more
flour than all the other merchants in the county.
STEEL JACKSON NUPTIALS.
Last Saturday at the home of Mr. and

gational church, in his impressive way said
the words which united for life this young
couple.
The groom came and settled near here
last year on a homestead where he ha* a
cosy home in which they will go to house
keeping at once. The bride came last
year and has been teaching at Fallon.
This wedding is the outcome of a love
that sprang up years ago when they were
children back in South Dakota. Both
young people are favorably well known
here for their pleasing manner and true
friendship and they begin life together
with the best wishes of their many friends.

Stoddard as he desires no measure to meet
the approval of the board unless it will in
ure to the benefits of all concerned. The

merits our approbation and in the chair

New County South.
History is making rapidly in the country
south. During the past few days a town
site for the new Milwaukee town. Hettin
ger, has been platted in the south one
half of section 13, township 129, range 96,
in Hettinger county. This is on the sur
vey of the Milwaukee on Jiidden Wood
creek. 127 miles west of the Missouri river
where it is supposed the roail is to make a
freight division.
I he town is to be called Hettinger, and
the present plan is to divide the county,
including 32 townships in the northern
portion, which is to retain the name of
Hettinger, and 28 in the southern connty,
which is to be called Adams. If this plan
materializes, the new town of Hettinger
will be the county seat of the new county
of Adams, and should at once spring into
a bustling city. People are already tent
ing in great numbers in the vicinity of the
new townsite.—Press.
Chamberlain's Coufh Remedy Aids Nature.
Medicines that aid nature are always
most effectual. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy acts on this plan. It alleys the
cough, relieves the lungs, aids expector
ation, opens the secretions and aids nature
in restoring the systeiri to a lieaRKy^condi
tion. Thousands have testified to its
superior excellence. For sale by all
dealers.
The prospects are growing better every
day for the construction of at least the
south line of the Northern Pacific road out
of Mandan this summer. The lineis al
ready surveyed up the Cannon Ball river
as far west as Hettinger county. It is re
ported this week on good authority that
the Milwaukee road will be completed
into southern Hettinger county by the first
of July, and the Northern Pacific must get
into that county with a feeder from Man
dan this year or abandon the tremendous
traffic that rightly belongs to it to the
Milwaukee, The latter road will certain
ly send out feeders to tap the former's
territory, and unless the Northern Pacific
makes a move soon the Milwaukee may be
in Mandan before many moons.—Mandan
Pioneer.
