KIMBALL.


KIMBALI.
The county commissioners have
ordered an election for the relocation
of the county seat OF Brule county.
Particulars next week.
Dog days are nearly done,
Soon, soon will come the last:
'Skeeters and flies now have the fun
Their reign will soon be past.
Then won't we quiet sleep
The sweet sleep of the just?
Well curl us up all in a heap,
Nor get up till we must.
If the democrats of Brule county
expect to win a county office for any
of the men nominated by them next
Tuesday they must place good men
in nomination. OF these we mention
as one l. A. Weeks of Kimball, who
is a candidate for Recorder. He can
poll Kimball selid. No other candi-
date before the people can. Mr..
Weeks is so well known in the county
it is unnecessary for us to mention his
fitness for the office. The GRAPHIC
the Index and the Chamberlain Dem
ocrat will all support HIM. The con-
vention will do we'll to remember
these facts.
Another strong candidate is Major.
]. E. jenkins for Treasurer who can
poll a larger vote than any man that
car be nominated. There are hun
dreds Of republicans who will vote
for him. Mr.. jenkins is no partlcu-
lar friend of ours, he is not ever a
subscriber to this paper, but that
docs not prevent us from saying what
we believe, that he is the strongest
man the Democrats can put up.
A meeting was held at the office
of j. B. Long on Saturday evening
last for the purpose of discussing the
question of a grist mill III Kimball,
and the best manner in which to raise
the money TO sink one or more public
wells In town. Several were present
who had propositions from men de-
sirous of coming here and building
a mill. No definite action was taken
in regard to any of them, but the
matter was left until other mill part
les could be heard from. Kimball
has always been behind her sister
towns in improvements of this kind,
but she always managed to "get there
in time, and when she gets a mill 1t
will be a good one.
The water question was discussed
at length. A committe was finally ap.
pointed to circulate a petition for
signerst asking the city council tc
bond the town for $500 for a water
fund to be used in sinking two more
wells. Had the council accepted Of
the liberal proposition Of Park &
Park, Smith d Calta, f. E. Milleranc
other business men at the south end
Of Main st. in which proposition they
offered to donate $500 if the counci
would the other $500 for a well or
the corner south of Barkee's furniture
store, the town would now have an
other public well, and q good one
which would be enough wells for the
present, and no more bonds would
have to be issued. But, forsooth, be
cause a few narrow minded fools who
own property near the depot kicked
the council refused to entertain the
proposition. The town has already
been bonded for SI,5Oo for whi6 We
have got one well where we ought tt
have two for the same money. There
are three business blocks on Main st
The town we'll is between the frs
and second block. One more vel
would be enough at present and i
ought to be placed between the sec
ond and third block lie near the Farm
ers & Traders Bank. $500 woult
sink the well and pay for a windmill
complete. If the council seek for great
er fire protection let them build two
large cisterns near the opera hous'
which can be filled by water from
the roof of the building.
