Farmers are very busy harvesting
their crops Just now. Wheat harvesting
is we'll under way, and on every hand
very favorable reports are heard. Edwin

Island which is very nice and heavy. He
looks for yield of 20 bushels per acre.
He says all crops are good, and wheat
better than any year since 1877.
Henry Ward Beecher says: IF you
want to look for heroes in our day you
must go down to the Kitchen; you must

penny with their parents, and work on
through days and months and years, and
die in wretchedness and neglect"

already carries the Southern Dakota traf-
fic. This means better equipment, moro
frequent trains, and more travel.-E1.

kato & St. Cloud railroad has completed
its first line to St. Cloud, and is now rum
ming back this way, but does not follow
