The Review is good paper and deserves

VIM. H. Woodward was married last

Messrs Richardson and Sogn of Beloit,

Several of our citizens with their wives
went to Sioux Falls last Friday night to
has bonanza in the shape of chalk
stone quarry. 1t will be opened and
developed this spring
A correspondent, writing to the Elk
Point Courier, among other items of news
gets this one off at the expense of Brick
Stone: 1T is reported that the editor of
the Sioux County Independent recently
danced double-shuffle back action jig on
the Calliope bridge; the consequence was
that several of the largest timbers in that
structure were broken. The editor ought
to be summarily dealt with. y
The Swedish Sisters Quintette Club
singers, might be induced to visit Canton.
From appearances it seems that Mr..
N. j. House, of the firm of Lewis &
House, druggists of this city, is very
popular gentleman with our people. This
is all because he is gentleman and
whatever he undertakes to do does it in
gentlemanly way He has made Canton
one of the best street commissioners we
ever had and and an effort is now being
made to have him accept the marshalship,
but are sorry to say he declines. He
would make popular marshal and would
not abuse his Office. He would be popu-
lar with all the citizens and farmers COM
ing to town and law and order would pre-
vail.
It is our opinion it is the duty of every
citizen to procure everything at home
that can be had as cheaply, and as good,
as elsewhere. Mutual assistance is the
only way to build up home interests.
We understand there is family in the
county not over a thousand miles from
Lennox that has little boy named Tom.
Tommy is a little rogue, whom his
mother had hard work to manage Their
house was raised few feet from the
ground, and Tommy, to escape we'll
deserved whipping, ran from his mother
and crept under the house Presently
the father came home, and hearing where
the boy had taken refuge, crept under to
bring him out. AS he approached on
his hands and knees, Tommy asked, is
she after you, too?'
If our farmers should notice dis
ease among their barn yard fowls, investi-
gate and see if it is not the chicken pox.
The new Northwestern railroad, which
will cross the Sioux at Calliope, will, it is
claimed, give competition on freights
with the Milwaukee.
Rumors of new enterprises in town are
rife.
Henry George, one of the oldest con-
ductors on the Milwaukee road, passed
through town last Saturday as paymaster
distributing money to the employees of the
road 4s- .
The parties who were here last week
looking up location for creamery, have
finally decided on Eden as the spot, as
there aremore fine COWS and better pros
poets for an increase of their business than
any other of the numerous places visited.
The parties went east to settle up their
business and are expected to return some
time in April.
The locating agent Of the Chicago and
Northwestern railway company spent the
day here looking the land over and taking
notes generally I had no interview with
the gentleman, but those who did say that
the advantages, as matters now stand, are
much more in favor of Eden than
Calliope, for the new projected road. He
drove over the old grading formerly done
by the St. Paul company. This would be
quite an advantage to his company, as the
outlet through the bluffs west are already
graded, which our citizens have guaran-
teed the company. The first four miles
westof Calliope would cost too much money
our business mef are."alk looking more
cheerfully within the past few days.
