The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1884-07-11
Those who were 50 unfortunate as

on Sunday afternoon last missed a
rare, intellectual treat. lie preached
one of his eloquent, broad and liberal
sermons, which was repletr with SO
many happy illustrations, and exem-
plitied by numerous telling points.
We regret that all could not have list
encd to it. If all who preach the Cos
pei were endowed with some of Rev.
Loomis' common sense, the christian
religion would be greatly benefited.
s25 reward is offered for the dis
covery of the thief who plundered the
house of the GRAPlnc's editor.
This is the only cas- on record
| where an editor was robbed. We do
not doubt the statement of our editor,
but We are astonished to learn that
his household goods Excepting pill
lows) and wardrobe was SO numer-
GUS. The only reason we can give
for his "being short" on pillows is,
that he is unmarried. We once knew
of a thief's entering an editors "sanct-
UNI sanctorum" for the purpose of pur-
Joining the editors pockets, and was
caught in the act by the editor, who
informed the thief that the contents
of his pockets amounted to only seven
cents:-the thief, after a%scertaining
the truth of the statement, handed the
editor his card and s~lxty-fve cents,
with a request that the paper be sent
to his address as long as the amount
deposited would pay for. Promising
to renew his subscription at its expir-
alton, the thief babe fau revoir' to the
smiling editor.
"DEv1L."
Bro. Tinan, in his Kimball Graphic
last week, wipedthe ground with old
old duffcr up in Buffalo county, who
goes by the name of Cooley some
times called Elder Cooley. We have
heard Of this fellow before and 1t is
our candid opinion that he is a fraud
on general principles.-Plankinton
Free Press.
The article referred to by the Free
Press was not directed at the cold
duffel" Elder Cooley, although 1t
should have been by right, for de
spite the fact that his name no long
err stands at the head of the editorial
columns Of the Herald, he is III reali-
ty yet its editor. For forms sake we
were Obliged to address our remarks
to his unfortunate son who has to
bear the brnnt of the old Williams
cussedness. The Graphic, Index and
a few other papers made things so
hot for the old hyprocrite, Cooley,
he thought it a cunning scheme to
substitute the name of his son as the
editor Of his miserable sheet so as to
enable him to more effectually do his
dirty work; all Of which is fully in
keeping with his pusillanimous career
ever since he has cursed the fair
county of Buffalo with his presence.
Naturalists claim that a scorpin when
surrounded by fire will turn and
sting itself to death. How much better
it would have been if this old skunk
had, after being driven into his hole,
stunk himself to death and allowed
his sons to conduct a respectable
journal, the forty suffering subscribers
of the Buffalo Herald fully realize.
D. II. Moses the gentlemanly
immigrant agent for the c. M. & St.
Paul road was in town on Monday
last. Mr.. Moses called at the Ora.
PHO Office and informed us that he
had appointed a committc of three
in Klmball to confer with the farmers
and receive contributions of Dakota
products which will be forwarded bv
the railroad company to differant
fairs Rnd expositions in the East.
Inc committee is composed of tho
following gentleman; Capt. w. II.
Curtiss, Capt. S. r. Nugen, and E.
P. Ochsner. We hope our farmers
will attend to this matter and aid the
committe all in their power. Every
sample that goes from Brule county
is SO marked, and the larger the ex.
hiblt from this county the more cred.
it we shall receive from abroad. The
car fitted up last year with Dakota
products by the St. Paul road attract
ed widespread attention wherever
exhibited, and it was the best adver
tisement South Dakota conld have
had. Let us fit out a car this year
that will make the eastern howlers
sick.
