Graipd Valley. June 21,1897. As It is so long since Grand Valley has been

heard from through the correspondence col­umns of the LEADER, I will again try to send in a few items once in a while to let the people know that we are alive and prospering.

Crops look fine, wheat is heading out and the farmers are busy cultivating <iorn.

A number of window lights were broken by the hall Thursday night, otherwise no damage has been reported from the storm. The rain did good.

Andrew Malum Sundayed in Grand Valley.

Miss Lena Torberson is staying with Mrs. L. N. Christensen at Canton.

Albert Wood of Worthing, was a visitor at L. L. Flory's Sunday last.

Some of the young folks are going to cele­brate the glorious Fourth at tho residence of Andrew Hanson.

J. A. Wallquist and family visited with the family of Sander Brynjulson last Sunday.

Mrs. E. Torkelson and Mrs. Chas. Anderson visited with friends and relatives near Hudson last week.

A GRAND VALMYIIE.

Teachers' Iijatifclale. The teachers of Lincoln county met in Can­

ton Monday to attend a two weeks session. It promises to be the best ever held in the county and Superintendent Davies is doing all he can to make it so. Herewith is a list of those id attendance: 0<-

Norway. June 24,1897.

Corn is slightly behind in Norway, otherwise crops look well. The heavy rain of last weolc made the farmers happy and all look forward to a good harvest.

Mr. LukUen of Brule, visited at Rise's last week.

Little Tommy Knutson is attending Nor wegian school in this district, which closes this week.

Returning pilgrims from the "land of the midnight sun" are Ole Rossum, wife ;uid daughter, after a years's visit across the sea. They are glad to get back to the sunny fields and broad prairies of Dakota.

The license law has made those most enter­taining pedestrians, peddlers, rather scarce lately, but ouv loss (?) is other's gain.

Miss Rena Jacobson has returned from Can ton, where she has been learning the dress malting trade.

H. K. Rise was atHawarden and Hudson last week on business.

The handsome faces of John and Olaf Sogn smiled from behind the counter of the Hegnes-Jacobson store while the proprietors were making merry at the Vigness-Lunder wedding.

Miss Rose Nelson is visiting with the family of H. K. Rise.

Ole Hoel is the proud father of a bouncing baby girl, born on June 15. This Is the first child born in Moe.

• Hunting at the wrong time of the year—that is what Claus Hegnes and Knute Jacobson are doing, even now when business is rushing. By the number of the fair sex continually in the store, it seems they nfeed not go far, but— "fields new and prairies green."

The school meeting of District No. 22, was well attended on June 15. Those present showed their appreciation of the services of August Johnson by re-electing him treasurer. After a lengthy discussion a term of seven months school was decided upon.

Knute Rise is the owner of a handsome bike, which his father brought from Chicago.

COUNTESS.

MAMMOTH SPRINGS, ARK., June 13,1897.

EDITOR LEADER:—l will give you my views of the sunny south. I am well satisfied with the country and do not find It as stony as it had been pictured, but there are lots of stones and one would think yon could not cultivate the land, but you can and It will produce most anything you plant. I took dinner with Leroy Straw, and if anyone thinks they are not living well here they would be surprised. Green peas and beans, lettuce, radishes, strawberries, bacon and potatoes. Leroy has iVt acres of strawberries and two acres of blackberries and raspberries. He has fifteen acres of nice corn three feet bight as it stands. Leroy says he would not give his place'for his father's in Lincoln county if he had to live there. He also has a fine house well furnished. George Jones also has a fine place and sold $85 worth of strawberries from half an acre of ground. He will have 3V- acres bearing next year and they are enjoying themselves fine. Ramsdell will have five acres of strawberries next year. The boys are all getting started in small fruit. W. S. Corson has a fine bearing orchard of peacbcs and apples and has l'A acres of strawberries. They average $1.50 a crate net. I have just put out 4-5 of an acre of strawberries and expect to put out five acres next spring. I am building a house and expect to stay if things work all right. Leroy Straw has nine acres of wheat that is as nice as any I ever saw in. Lincoln county. He started to cut it Monday.

Friend Linn, please give my regards to all my friends and say I am enjoying myself and am still a Brjan man. The woods are full of them down here and some who voted for Mc-Kinley would like to vote for Bryan now, and you will find lots more in 1000 who will change their vote to Billy Bryan. I will close wishing all my Lincoln county friends a big crop with good prices, if that can be..

fYours respectfully, WM. CORSON.

The Sugar Tariff Prize Pnzzle.

A reward of $25 is offered by the New York World for any liugnist wlio will translate the sugar schedule in the new tariff bill into English that can be understood. It is said that the sugar men understand it perfectly, and if they do what business is it of others? The Sugar trust is running the United States senate at present, and it is hold­ing up all legislation until it gets what it wants. If the people of this country had, a chance to vote on the election of United States senators, some df^ thd old. fossils in the senate typuld; tiever be heard of again.—Telegraph.

^ The Trait's Warm Friend.

Senator Aldrich has always been a truly good friend of the Sugar trust, and it is apparent that this friendship has not grown cold.—Boston-Herald.
