Stepping into ROYER's pretty store yesterday we were shown some beautiful engraving he
had just finished on a lot of Christmas goods.  He informed us that he engraves free 
of charge articles purchased of him, where the design is not too elaborate, and his work
speaks for itself.  The Bismarck people need not send away to have their engraving done
as Mr. ROYER is prepared to execute promptly and beautifully any work in that line.

The city has done a favor to the public in repairing the crossing and filling up the mud

May his shadow never grow less.  He would be a dandy man to put up some street lamps.

It has been fair weather in the Gazette office for the past week, all on account of the
presence of three beautiful and accomplished young ladies who called to leave us some
local items, say a lot of very complimentary things in regard to the paper and volunteer
to wash the office towel.  We will give a year's subscription to the Gazette, for one
dollar, to anybody who can guess the names of the fair callers.  We are always glad to
receive our friends and hope they will come again and bring along what local items they
can.  That's the way to make a good local paper.

The Gazette Artist is improving.  One of the pictures he prepared for this week's paper
showed a section of barbed wire fence, but it was so true to life that the office boy
fell against it, tore five holes in his pants and spoiled the whole thing.
