SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM ] HARTLEY’S ABSENCE REGRETTED,” Itis to be regretted that Hon. G. G. Hartley of Duluth could not be present at the county fair Friday and tell the farmers, who will be there, as to what he has accom- plished on his famous Island farm, which has been built in the middle of a swamp, east of Grand Rapids. i Mr. Hartley has demonstrated \ just what can be accomplished through drainage and up-to-date _ method of farming, and the results 8 have certainly been wonderful. While he has spent a lot of money, he has demonstrated to the world that the swamp lands of northern Minnesota are among the most fer- tile acres in the United States. Itis too bad that Mr. Hartley has found it impossible to accept the invitations. extended to him to speak at the fair tomorrow. SHOULD LET EMPLOYES GO TO FAIR. W. R. Mackenzie, secretary of the Beltrtami County Agricultural Association, has suggested that the business men of the city should allow their employes to attend the fair at least once during today, tomorrow or Saturday, and the Pioneer be- lieves that the suggestion is 4 good one. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” applies to employes in stores as well as those in other walks of life. Anyone who attends the fair can- not but be impressed with the true worth of this county along agricul- tural lines, which will undoubtedly be the general pursuit of the future for Beltrami county. When the timber is cut we will have to till the soil, and anything which will educate along those lines should be welcomed. .8 ADVICE TO “KICKERS.” If youare a kicker and see the shadow of failure in everything that is proposed to help the town, for heaven’s sake go into some secluded canyon and kick your own shadow I on the clay bank, and thus give ol men who are working to build up a town a chance. One long-faced, hollow-eyed, whining kicker can do more to keep away business and capital from a town than all droughts, short crops, chinch bugs. cyclones and blizzards combined. —Ex.

Manila, Sept. 23.—The vigorous campaign for the eradication of chol- era _is believed {o be preventing any Epbréciable 1nersa8s in the sproad of the disease.

Taft in the course of the brief address he made to the delegates to the Negro National Baptist convention being held in Lexington, Ky. the members of which came to Cincinnati for the pur- pose of meeting Judge Taft. There was hardly a sentence which Judge Taft uttered that did not receive warm applause by his hearers, who were re- ceived in the upper banquet hall of the Sinton hotel. The delegation was headed by Rev. E. C. Morris of Hel ena, Ark., and represented nearly ev- ery Southern and many Northern states. -_— United"Irish League in Convention at Boston.

There is no need of anyone suffer- ing-long with. this disease, for-to effect a quick cure it is only neces- sary to take a few doses of Ghamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy In fact, in most cases one dose is sufficient.
