that anybody should try to

whether we should have
dealt in them at all. Still
they are good fair silks.

If we could keep upa sue
cession of such bargains as
we had all last week, and
the week before in black
dress-goods, there'd be a
general suspension OF trade
all over town, except as to
those who don't read adver
tiscments. They'd go right
on as usual, paying double.
But the half-bellef that
some show is rather odd.
We advertised a 81 black
grenadine for 37R cents; and
they came in a week, two or
three hundred a day; but
the grenadines were picked
up by about two hundred la
dies who came first.
Then we had $2.25 black
grenadines for SI.25. Some
of them were left Saturday.
Five hundred ladies will
come after them this week.
A few may get them. When
people are disappointed
about advertised goods, the
fault isn't always in the adj
vcrtiser. W h len S2.25's-
worth is really sold for SI.25,
that is, when 81 is given
away, it ought not to take
very long to find buyers.
Moral. - Don't believe
everything you see in print
but, if you're going to half
believe, be quick about it.
We don't know what there
is here to-day that's worth
more than its price; may be

CUSTER CITY,

The pioneer town ofthe Hills is situat-
ed in the southern portion about twelve
or fftpcu miles from the foothills and
lis natural advantages are acknowledged
by ali a. cxceIling oil others either in
the mining or agricultural districts.
Located in a valley ten or twelve miles
long by one mile in width, il is easily
accessible To railroads either from the
east, south or west, and is the only town
in the Hills that could be tapped bv a
roal running on an east and west line,
tap any other town. n road. having rs its
objective point the yellow our park n
the Pacific coast, would have 80 make Il
detOu" from 100 TO 200 niles. Already
surveys have been run by various roads
having this point in view. Thus situat-
ed il draws TO its support the business
ofthc mining districts or The Southern
Hill, and also thai Of lie farming and
stock raising intere-l,, the latter eX-
tending for sixty miles To the south and
west. 1t is also tie centre Of the richest
mica district in the world, there being
within 4 radius Of three miles no less
than Il half dozen producing mines the
annual yield Of which is upward Of
10000 pounds of understandable mica to
the mine. On the north, and from two
to ten miles from town are the bonanza
gold mince 9th, southern Hills inciud-
ing the Grand Junction, Old Bill, Hart
ford. Atlantic, Salmon, st. Elmo, Penob-
scot. Gold Star and others, 4 majority Of
which have mills, hnioting works, etc,
now in operation. On the south for ten
or twelve miles are to be found rich cop
per and silver mines and on the west
the coal fields, gypsum beds, salt And oil
springs. while fertile farming lands are
sandWirhed in between all. As an illu-
s|tration Of the money TO be made on
even Il small piece OF farming land in
he valleys surrounding Custer We will
state that j.. y. Wright on seventeen
acres, located two miles west OF town,
cleared 81 800 in one summer. On the
south, within six or eight hours ride,
are the famous Hot Springs, whose eur
alive powers are already attracting the
attention of the outside world, and
which are equal to those of Arkansas.
The town is the county seat Of Custer
county, which hasan area $4,000 square
miles, two-thirds Of which is agricultural
and grazing lands and The other third
mineral, the latter occupying the north
ern portion Of the county are covered
with a heavy growth of Norway pine.
The town has Il SO, 900 court house, two
fine Observation-Disclosures, belonging TO the
Methodist and Congregational societies,
and will soon have a large school build
ing. Business is increasing, improve
ments are being made daily and it is
bound to be the metropolis ofthe South
ern Hills. All those Of our eastern
readers who think of coming to Dakota
10 locate and invest in either mercantile,
mining. agricultural or stock raising
pursuits can do no better than to camp
in Custer county or city.

The annual meeting of the Portland Benev-

church tomorrow evening commencing at
o'clock. The address will be delivered by Rev.
Henry Blanchard and the usual contribution
taken up.
A correspondent says: "This old society,
now the Oldest of any of the kind in this city,
will hold its annual meeting at the First Parish
church on Sabbath evening next, 9TH inst,
wnen an address will be delivered by Rev
Mr.. Blanchard of Congress Square church. II
is hoped there will be full attendance from
all the churches in this city. This society has
its benefciaries in every religious society
which should lead all to feel deeper Interest
in it and to do what they can to sustain &
cause which has done and is doing so much
good. Would it not be well for other churches
to close their doors on that evening SO that
full house may be secured?"

A Miniature Porgy Factory.

Frank Thompson and Warren Morse OF
Friendship have contracted with Professor
Baird, United States Fish Commissioner, a.
Washington, to construct a miniature porgy
oil mandatory, which shall represent the
real mandatory in all its essential and
minute particulars. including all the founda.
tions, wharves and buildings thereon. The
miniature work will represent lot 424 feet in
length and la feet in width, and the main
building represented is 352 by GA feet. The
little architecture will exhibit, at glance, to
the eye not only the general outline in toto,
but the entire work in detail. such as scrap
house, drying-house, oil tanks, water tanks,
presses, hoisting apparatus, and steamboat
with her attendant small boats. The factory
represented is the factory of Church & Co.. OF
Tiverton, R. l., which place Mr.. Morse has
visited and made a draft of the entire works.
The representative mandatory is to be about
nine feet long, nearly six feet wide, and is
nearly half constructed. The enterprise is
engineered by the Smithsonian Institute, and
is designed for the International exhibition to
be held at London the present year.
