The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1884-08-15

The business of the Bank of kimball
will be closed up as soon as possible,
probably by the first of the coming
month. ]. II! Gale, the 'gentlemanly
cashier of the bank, has made many
friends in Kirnbaii and we hope he
will remain among us:
Tinan, of the moral Kimball Ora
phic says ne saw a pet snake, playing
"Sweet Violets" on the piano, the
reptile striking out the notes on the
keys with its tail. This is probably
the most d%eplorable case of inebriety
on record. When a man sees snakes
of the piano playing brand, all the
temperance reform movements that
could be organized in a year could not
save him.-Plankinton Standard.
Considering the above was written
after the Standard mar had visited
Mitchell, taken in the circus, side show
several other shows and two kegs
of beer and was brought heme in a
refrigerator car, 1t is very good
exceedingly good. We think it was
Rigg, himself who saw the "snake"
play the plano while we were down
to Alexandria, but if he did indeed
play it with his tail he is q good one.

In the meantime "darling won't you
buy some beer"
Those of us in private life who are
constantly receiving circulars and adj
vertisements by mail, and who are
led into continual wonder as to how
and why our names have suddenly
become public property, will read the
following explanation of the matter
with all the satisfaction OF gratified
curiosity. There are in New York a
large class Of men who call them
selves "dealers IN Names" Their
stock in trade is actually just that
names. The names of thousands of
business men, of professional men
and of women and boys and girls as
well. These are for sale, printed in
sheets, about half an inch apart, SO
that they may be cut off and pasted
on wrappers or envelopes, and are
bought by business men who want to
send out circulars, publishers who
have books and periodicals to send
out, and inventors who have some
thing to introduce. The dealers get
these names in all sorts of ways, from
newspapers, official documents, dir
ectories, blue books, lists of member
ship of clubs, associations and cor
p%oratlons, and in various other I'M
heard-of ways. These lists are kept
carefully revised and corrected, so as
to be at all times reliable.
A party of gay and festive Kim
ballites to the number of a dozen or
more drove to the Bijou Hills on
Sunday last for a days recreation and
rest. The first place the party struck
was Tibbitts coral, but although the
aroma arising from it was delightful
it was thought dinner would taste as
sweet in some other place. The
party accordingly drove to the south
side of the Hills where a deserted
shanty, which the wind had evidently
knocked out in the first round Mar
quise of Goosberry rule was found
and taken possession of in the name
Of Chas. Mix the founder of Chas.
Mix county and mixed drinks. A
pail of lemonade a la frog was soon
made and a most appetizing lunch
spread out which a appreciated by
the hungry explorers in the very
best manner The Hills were ex-
plored after a few songs had been
sung to brighten the rattle snakes in
to their holes. One young lady in
sisted she heared a rattle and was de-
termlnd to drink the pint of whiskey
on the strength of it, which had been
brought along in case of accident.
The party returned home at sun down
that is most of them-well salts
fed with the days trip had been a
pleasant one even if the lemonade
was favored with frogs and wore
bangs, "That's What!!n
