GAZETTE |

DENT has been putting a coat of paint on the school house in Dent district. George BISPLINGHOFF returned from St. Louis last week for a short sojourn at home. We are sorry to hear of the serious illness of one of the little children of W. D. McCOY. Everybody and his wife and all the children came to the Bismarck picnic on the Fourth. Mrs. A. D. BOSS and daughter, Miss Edith, spent Tuesday of last week in St. Louis, shopping. J. M. DENTON cut his knee severely last Friday, but at last accounts he was getting on nicely. Miss Rose WILSON of Caledonia spent the Fourth in Bismarck, the guest of Miss Sadye SLOAN. For Sale -- Solid oak, Mantel folding bed, good as new, at a bargain. Mrs. F. W. STAMMER. One of our base ball boys was struck in the stomach by a ball on the Fourth. It was a highball. Mr. PRIEST, the insurance man, contributes some excellent reading matter in this issue of The Gazette. Geo. W. BEELER of Desloge passed through here Sunday on his way to Potosi wherre he will visit home folks. The Irondale band furnished music for Piedmont on the 4th, and they presented a fine appearance in their new, white uniforms. Misses Edith BOSS and Pearl POLLARD have the thanks of the editor for items of local interest contributed to The Gazette this week. Miss Alice MELOY left last week for Globe, Arizona, where she has accepted a position and will make her future home. The handsome residences owned by Charles SCHAPER have been recently repainted and present a very fine appearance. The Workmen's picnic brought visitors from all the adjacent towns and settlements, including St. Louis, De Soto and Puckyhuddle. Laurie BISPLINGHOFF, who has been employed at Bonneterre for some time, returned to his home in this city Tuesday and has now gone to Huttig, Ark., to work. During the progress of a thunder storm on Monday of last week the spire and roof of the German Lutheran church were struck by lightning and considerably damaged. Several persons in the vicinity were severely shocked by the bolt. Work on the school building is now well under way and when the old house gets both wings raised it will be quite a fly looking structure. A new roof and new paint will add much to the outward appearance and the addition of two grades will increase the educational facilities of this place quite materially. The attention of our readers is called to the professional card of Dr. McHENRY which appears in another column of today's Gazette. Doctor McHENRY has recently come into the community from Reynolds county, where he has successfully practiced dentistry for several years, and will make Bismarck his home. Office at the home of J. P. MURPHY. Henry ADKINS is a busy man these days, but never too busy to show you through his establishment and put you onto the latest and best in the way of farm machinery. He also handles the celebrated Acme Paints, pure white lead, oils, etc., and conducts a first-class undertaking establishment. Embalming and funeral directing promptly attended to. A full line of caskets in stock. S. M. CARTER and wife, of Irondale, were in town a short time Sunday, enroute to Farmington to visit relatives. Dr. J. L. EATON visited Mt. Vernon, the site of the state hospital for treatment of incipient tubereniosis, on Wednesday, going by way of the White river route. Mrs. C. C. DENT has returned from St. Louis where she had been visiting her sister, Mrs. SHUTE, who was recently injured by being dragged and bruised by a street car from which she was alighting. Postmaster BRYAN now has the stars and stripes floating daily from a fine 60-foot flag stall in front of the post office. The city authorities have lately had a force of men at work cutting weeds, hauling off rubbish and cleaning up the streets and alleys. While much remains to be done the streets present a much better appearance. We are informed that the proposed "Arcadia Assembly," of which Robertus LOVE was the organizer and manager, has been abandoned, owing, it is said, to want of local encouragement. Mr. WARD, representing the Roberts, Johnson & Rand Shoe Co., drove up from Arcadia Sunday, where his family is spending the summer, and they all enjoyed a few breaths of good, fresh, cool Bismarck air. All trains stop at Bismarck. O. W. RAMSEY left Friday last on his regular buggy trip; he informs us that the telephone company, of which he is president, will commence the construction of a new line this week towards Elvins, which, when completed will probably connect with the Belleview rural system. SUTHERLAND & Son, our home butchers, killed three very fine beeves the day before the Fourth to supply the local demand for meat. The people of this city are fortunate in not having to depend upon the packing house products, and Mr. SUTHERLAND is catering to their wants in the way of choice fresh meats in a very satisfactory manner. A derailed freight car on the Belmont branch at mile post 116, between Marquand Cornwall, delayed passenger trains about four hours Wednesday afternoon. The many friends of Walter BLACK of this city are rejoicing over the prospective recovery of his son Ward, aged about 12 years, who was operated on for apendicitis several weeks ago and whose life has been hanging in the balance until within the last few days. There was a large attendance at the M. E. Church, South, last Sabbath evening and at the close of the sermon by the pastor, Rev. J. W. HODGES, several persons joined the church and were baptized. Although the protracted meeting had closed but a few days before there seemed to be unusual interest in the services last Sunday, large congregations greeting the minister at both morning and evening services. Doctor EATON was kept busy on the Fourth and did not get out to the picnic grounds. First a young fellow got his collar bone broken while attempting to board a freight train at Cadet, and came here for treatment; next, another fellow accidently got a swallow fork cut in his ear, and then another ran a knife blade into his leg, trying to open a bottle of beer. All trains stop at Bismarck and the 4th of July victims all headed this way.
