SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM —_— HOLLER QUITS NEWSPAPER FIELD. E. J. Holler has disposed of the Littlefork Times to Geo. Scarlett, who has already assumed control, Chas. S. Jameson, the nestor of Koochiching county journalism, occupying the editorial chair. The policy of the paper will be con- tinued as under the management of Mr. Holler, and knowing the ability of Mr. Jameson, we predict that it will maintain that standard of excellence for which it has been so well known during the past two years. We welcome both Mr. Scar- lett and Mr. Jameson to the editorial ranks of the county. It is the intention of Mr. Holler to withdraw from newspaper work for a period and give his time and attention to the real estate business, in which he is quite extensively engaged. He has also announced his candidacy for the republican 1omination of Judge of Probate at at the primaries Sept. 15, and will begin an active canvass of the county at once.—Border Budget. “Ernie” Holler has many friends in Bemidji, who will all join with the Pioneer in wishing him success in whatever he may undertake. OBSERVATIONS. LA. G. Rutledge.] The Independence League is to hold its convention in Orchestra Hall. For the sake of harmony? A Montclair, N. J., resident has been bitten 3,000 times by dogs. This is enough to make any man mad. If it is true that Mr. Garnegieh as taken to writing poetry, he must be in earnest about wanting to die poor. The Republican party certainly should be able to break into the White House with a Billy and a Jimmy. If Jay Gould had stuck to selling rat traps instead ot being a railroad wrecker, newspaper readers would have benefitted. ’ The President has had “a cork- flfimm«i(fl.“fi“flm‘ ¥ Political Annonneementsj 333333333333 933339923F° WES WRIGHT, Candidate for the Republican Nomination for Sheriff, Pri- maries Sept: 15. 1 hereby announce myselfas a candi- date for therepublican nomination for sheriff of Beltrami county before the primaries to bo held September 15, If elected to the office I will give the duties thereof the very best ability which I possess.
