The text discusses advance subscription costs for Bunko UierioN, advertising rates for notices, and a letter from Thomas F. Marshall inviting support. It notes a possible denial if he did not write the letter, or his removal from the Senate race in that state section.
In Omemee Handbill reprint, editors say insurgent delegates gathered in Grand Forks to back Tom Marshall. A letter from Marshall to a state figure discusses invitations, endorsements, and travel expenses for delegates, amid claims of media bias and distorted reporting.
The excerpt critiques editors and papers in Bottineau county, lampooning editorial mudslinging and endorsing temperance warnings. It cites Carnegie on liquor dangers, notes changes at the Omemee post office, and remarks on local papers including the Bottineau Courant and Sherwood Tribune. It also mentions the phrase about alcohol from Arabic roots.
The note reflects on someone named Matt and an undertaker at his service. It contrasts people who mind others’ business with those who have little mind and less business. It questions Alabama becoming a prohibition state on January 1, 1909 and wonders if it will perform as well as others.
A collage of brief notes includes smallpox cases in multiple towns, a new 12 piece band formed by Sherwood, and the Tolley Porkers rounded up. Reports detail a $625 jail stay, a Merricourt murder confession, oil finds near Westhope, and a near-amputation from a gun accident.
A quirky fable about a fly and a flee in a flue contrasts with a local case where a man charged with nonsupport claims he gave all earnings to family, then reveals only 1.44 earned in a year. A joke about Adam and multiple wives follows, then an attempted arson at Pioneer meat market in Kramer thwarted by a leaking water tank.
Westhope fire department will have a full equipment set including rubber coats boots hats lanterns pike poles and axes. A subscription raised $190 for this gear. Westhope is a hustling little burg filled with industrious business men and is bound to grow.
Washington reports a fungus thriving between bark and wood is killing bark beetle broods in dying Black Hills pines. After a decade of destruction, the fungus may end the invasion, with estimates of losses at six million dollars at current timber prices.
