begin study again. When children

as they seem to be with the present

learn.

FROM private sources we learn that
Horace Flanagan, while threshing
grain near Mankato last week, had
quite an experience. In the field
where he was at work, and near the
stacks Of grain, was fifty tons Of hay,
and as he use an engine to drive
his machine, he informed the pro-
prietor of the hay that it was dan
gerous, but the latter decided to
risk it. The wind was blowing
pretty hard, and before the machine
had run half an hour the hay stack
was in a blaze. It required speedy
work to save the machine. The hay
was burned, and several hundred
bushels of wheat was also consumed.
MIR. Flanagan was remarkably lucky
in saving his thresher and engine,
and his friends here will be glad to
learn that he has Jared no worse.

A FEW years ago calves could be
: purchased in this part of the coun-
try for a few cents each, but to-day
they are worth from three to six
dollars a piece, with none on the
the market. We heard a butcher
complain the other day hat he finds
it impossible to furnish veal. This
change indicates that people are
realizing the worth of cattle.

Elk POINT, Sept. 18th. 1879.

EDS. COURIER: I see by the print
ed tax list in your paper a mistake
on the property assessed by me two
years ago. The property of Mrs.
Miller appears at s14.4S, and should
be S24.4S. By a examination Of
the treasurer's books | find the adj
vertlsement just as it appears on his
books, and the fault is not the treas
urer's, but d mistake of the register
in transferring the list from my books
to the one used by the treasurer.
Some COMPLAINT has been made, and
on examination we found the facts
as stated, and make this explanation
to show that it was no fault of ours.

FROM the various sources through
which we gain information regard
ing railroad movements in southeast
ern Dakota we have obtained returns,
since our last issue, sufficient to en-
able us to assert that the Milwaukee
road is to be built to Yankton, and
the grade finished inside of two
months. Our information upon this
subject we deem reliable. The COM
pany has decided to run a line to
Yankton. and the only circumstance
which might now disappoint our
people would be an entire change in
the~plans of the company. The con-
templated line is to coile neither
from Lennox or Maxwell, but from
Rock Mills, a point or the Milwau-
kee road a dozen miles east Of Can
ton, in Iowa. Starting from this in
~tersection it will follow down Rock
river to the junction of that stream
and the Big Sioux at Eden, and
from there, in as direct a line as
possible,to Yankton, passing through
the counties of Lincoln, Union, Clay
and Mathematics d, D1kotdian.
If this road is built, as our Yank-
ton contemporary asserts, it will en-
ter this county in township 95 near
Linden, and run south of Gothland,
north of Grove Hill, and enter Clay
county at Sunnyside. The road ex-
tends full length of Union county
east and west, and as it is in the cx-
IRENE northern part of the county ii
will not effect the interest Of south
ern Union, but open a nearer egress
for our friends north. If the road
strikes south Of Lodi Nermillion can
not help but feel it on trade. While
there is nothing positive that the
road will be built, yet it may be,
and that pretty soon.

THE Vermillion Republican takes

JUST as we expected, and we have
not been disappointed. All demo-
cratic papers apologize for the Yazoo
murder in Mississippi. The Yer
million Republican says they are an
ignorant set of people, and the muir
der is natural; that it should not
be made a political issue between
republicans and democrats. Oul
contemporary fears the force of the
argument brought out in that Miss
issippi tragedy, and wants to Kill
the effect by apology.
