From the Rapid City Journal we CLEAN
that Paul Laning, formerly of this place,
was married last month to Miss Ella Tow
er, Mountain Meadow.
Attorneys Pendleton and Swan of
Sioux City, E. c. Kennedy of
Parker, Alex Hughes of Elk Point, Bart
lett Tripp of Yankton, and P. f. Haas of
Lennox, are the attorneys from abroad in
attendance upon court.
Adam Hoffman's place of business was
closed by Sheriff Dixon Monday, on an
execution issued by Mr. Cameron for
debt. This led to other troubles, there
being several other claims. The reporter
met Mr.. Hoffman Wednesday and in an
swer to a question stated that he expected
to have everything settled so as to be able
to open up to-day, (Thursday.)
The Dell Rapids Exponent truly re-
marks, but just where it gets this news is
not known: Superintendent Prior of the
G. N. St P. railway states that he pro-
poses to so arrange the time tablesm Min
nesota and Dakota that the passengers
can go to all points on the line by daylight.
We hope he will. This getting out in the
middle Of the night to board train is not
pleasant, especially at this season.
We are glad to be able to state that
the masquerade ball to be given on the
22nd of February is sure thing. The
costumes have been secured and will be
here in time. We also understand that
the Messrs Cuppett and Dixon will be
foor-managers, which will insure good Or
der and a pleasant time The admission
price is low, only 81. The ball will take.
place at Bedford Hail.
Attorney c. B. Kennedy is absent this
week at Calliope, trying a case in which he
appears for the prosecution, and Geo. W.
Argo of LeMars, for the defense. The
trial has been in progress since last Satur-
day. 1t is smutty case in which doc
tor and woman are the shining light,.
We understand the NJ. D. is charged with
committing rape while the woman was un-
der the effects of morphine
Lincoln county has four cases in this
term OF court which the county commits
sioners are fighting with good show of sue
cess, and have employed the Messrs Bart
lett Tripp and Capt. Hughes to look after
the county's interests. The newest or lat
est suit is brought to enjoin the county
treasurer from paying over fines and IL
censes to the city treasury, and in this the
farmers will take lively interest. The
decision Or disposition of cases up for trial
at this term of court will be given in full,
on adjournment Of court.
1t is the writer's honest opinion that
what Canton mostly needs is iail or
calaboose It would have tendency to
stop, to a great extent, considerable
amount of carousing, swearing and cuss-
edness generally. We have marshal
and should then expect to see him
exerting his authority. AS long as it is
known that there is no lookup in the
city for evil-doers, just so long will our
our citizens be at the mercy of all who put
the law at defiance Then make the fines
large enough so that no one individual
will ever attempt to repeat his misdeeds.
We have made arrangements with the
old and well known popular weekly Agri-
cultural, Stock and Family paper the
Journal of Agriculture, of St. Louis, to
club it with the Canton Advocate both
papers to any address for 1926. The
Journal OF Agriculture is as large az any
of the two dollar weeklies; is published
every Thursday on extra white paper
and with the clearest and best type 1t is
devoted to the best methods of Agricul-
ture, Stock Raising, Gardening, Poultry
Raising and Youths Department, and an
excellent Story with other literary articles
makes it the peer of any family weekly in
America. Send 1925 and get two
of the best papers now published. Sam
pie copies of the Journal Of Agriculture
can be had by addressing 7l3 Chestnut
Street, St. Louis. Send remittances to
the Canton Advocate, Canton D. 7.
