The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1883-09-28

hope our Kimball sportsmen will kill
only what geese they can use thcm-
selves as food or dispose of to friends
tor the same purpose. We know the
temptation is great to shoot as long as
a goose a be seen, but a dozen or
fifteen geese for a mornings shoot
ought to satisfy any man without his
adding as many more to his pile.
1t is expected that the contract be.
tween the Mitchell and Kimball base
ball clubs OF the fair grounds in this
city the second day of the fair will
draw a big crowd. 1t will be an in-
teresting and closely contested game.
-Plankinton Standard.
There is not tie slightest probabll-
ity of the kimball club going to
Plankinton next week to play the
Mitchells. and furthermore they have
not agreed to go. The facts in the
ease are briefly these. Some time
since Mr.. Stuart, the captain of the
Kimball club, wrote MIR. Andrews
that they would play at Plankinton
ii the citizens Of that town would
guarantee them 300. Mr.. Andrews
wrote back hat Plankinton would
make a purse Of 800 to be given to
to the winning club, which propo-
sitlon has never been accepted by MI.
Stuart for the reason that it was i'm
possible for him to get the Kimball
club together.
Frosts to the right of us; frosts to
the left of US; frosts to the north and
trosts to the south, but at this writing,
Sept. 9th no fiosts have yet come to
Brule county. The corn crop in this
section is now safe form harm. We
were shown corn on Monday last
fully ripe and with large, well filled
kernels that was planted the 2sth of
June on sod. South Dakota will
take front rank as being one of the
best corn producing sections in the
United States. Not only as a corn
country does South Dakota excel all
all Others but the magnificent yield
of No. l wheat this fall awards Ills
the palm over the northern part of
the Territory in the production of
this cereal. We were informed YES
tcrday, by a gentleman who has trav-
cled extensively through Dakota, that
the wheat crop in South Dakota
would average fully eight bushels to
the acre more than that Of North
Dakota.
Robinson IS one or the most ac-
commodating men i'll the world when
it comes to pleasing his customers.
A few days,sincc a man came limp
ing into his "shanty" and said:
"Say, Robinson, ! cut my foot and
can't wear a boot, Will you sell me
one slipper"
Eyes sir, sell you anything, what
kind of a slipper do you want?"
ooh something cheap, by gosh I've
been into every store in this town
and they wouldn't sell me an odd
slipper any where: what the devil do
you suppose l want of two slippers"
The little man brought out the
slippers for his inspection, and select
ing n from the lot that fitted, the
cripple inquired:
"How much for the slippers"
ooh give me fifty cents" says Rob-
lnson.
"lierc's your money and much
obliged to you too and out he hob
bled, thinking the "shanty" proprie-
tor just the best fellow in Dakota.
A day or two after as he was passing
the store Robinson hailed HIM with:
"Haloo! how does the slipper go?"
"All right, why?"
ooh nothing, but you had better
come in and take the other one"
"But l don't want It,"
swell, you might az we'll take it,
you paid for it when you bought the
other"
els that so?"
"Tis even so."
Slowly he filed out the door and
gradually mingled with the outer at
mosphere. When last seer he was
urging Ochsner to take him to the
Yankton lunatlc asylum.
In these latter days the statesman
has degenerated into the demagogue.
As . result, responsibility is every
where suppressed and the worst ele.
lnents of the body polite are elevated
into undue prominence. In every
community can now be seen the sad
dening spectacle of virtue lauding
brazen vice-purity voting for a pol
luton too bold to make even a pre-.
tencc at concealment-and honesty
seeking to shield a corruption which
