Mr.. Griswold, of Pontiac, Mich, a
brother of our old settler, E. r. Griswold,
hearing such glowing accounts Of our
country, sold his possessions there and
started toward the setting sun, and, up
on coming here he freely acknowledges
that he finds Lincoln county far beyond his
expectations, and has cast his lot among
us.
As an item of news to our readers We
would say that all those taking advantage
OF our book offer, would confer favor
upon the editor by handing in their names
to this Office by December 3Oth, 1882, as
we then close the books. The books
have advertised themselves, the chromos,
which we substitute for others, as fast as
sold, are still to be had by the requisite
number of subscribers.
Yankton Press and Dakotaian: ED.
Iverson, who has accepted the position
of travelling agent for the Norway clipper
plow works, at St. Paul, entered upon
his duties this morning. He is working
in Vermilllon and Elk Point to-day and
will operate during the winter. His fam
lily will remain in Yankton.

How wonder where you are;
Down below the ground so deep,
Like lizard you do keep.

Star. That's good place to look, Bro.
Conklin.
Uncle Thomas Burns, of Day county,
was guest of the Merchants hotel last
Thursday being on his way home from a
business trip to Yankton. Mr. Burns is
a big farmer and stock raiser, hard
worker and over 60 years of age, but
seems good for number of years yet.
Day county is settling up with good
class of settlers and the county is pros
porous.
A. W. Rea, of Colesburg, Iowa, broth
er our Oscar and George, arrived in town
one day last week and left again Tuesday
for home. A. w. is the oldest of the
boys and has to stay at home with the
old folks, working hard on the farm,
therefore this is his first visit to Canton
and Dakota. He leaves us, and will be
here again. We did not ask his politics
but hope he is a good republican. He
thinks seriously of becoming one Of us.
By reference to our advertising columns
it will be noticed that the bank of Gale 4
Ward has become First National Bank.
We all know Mr.. Gale and his ability to
run bank. The capital will be $4,000.
The valued assistants in the bank are as
follows. F. A. Gale, president, 0. S.
Clifford, vice president, A, c. Eaton,
cashier, C.E. Pendexter, assistant CASH
ier. Directors, F. A. Gale, 0. S. Clifford,
G. w. Stone, 7. o. Bogert, A. c. Ea-
ton.
James A. Small, post-of6ce inspector
passed through town last Thursday on his
way to Yankton having in charge Mr..
Lewis Sarrody, postmaster at Marion
Junction, who Mr.. Small arrested on
the charge of swindling the government
to the extent Of $500, his crime being in
making false returns of stamps cancelled.
Mr.. Small resides at Valley City and in
forms us that he will shortly pass through
town again on his way to Chicago. He
is lively gentleman and terror to evil
doers, so look out for him.

California Fruit

1t surprises one to read OF the scale
upon which farming is done on the Pa
cific slope.
The favorite product at present among
the farmers is fruit for preserving, dry
ing and canning. They expect to sup
ply the world with fruit, and they lay out
their orchards accordingly.
Mr.. Reed, of Yolo County, intending
to try the experiment of raising peach
trees from the pit, sends TO Delaware for
three hundred millions of peaeh-pits by
way of a beginning. Another firm have
imported this spring two hundred thous-
and cuttings of the raisin-grape.
The cultivation of the orange has been
introduced with very happy promise.
The Californians indulge in high hopes
of the future of their crop, and claim to
produce oranges equal to the best Flori-
da, with less risk of losses by frost
