were seen plainly from town. Some
thought it was not more than mile
and a half away. The sky was nearly
clear above and below the stratum of

pent-like demon decended. 1t was very
still and hot here but we had nice
shower and then a beautiful rainbow
appeared.

something entirely new, and promises

that the process is agreat improvement
over the old method and it is probable
that they will establish O. pulp factory

flax fields of southern Dakota. THERE'S
money in the business and they are dis
posed to make the most out of it.
In another column will be found an
| announcement of the first annual fair
of the Turner County Agricultural so
ciety. While there has in the past been
considerable feeling between different
sections of the county over this ques-
;tion, now that the society is organized
and grounds located, it were better that
4 all join hands and unite in placing the
exhibit of the products Of Turger coun-
ty where they belong-in the front
rank. Let each person who has any
animal or article which they deem
to be above the average, display it at
the fair, and aid in making permanent
an institution which will be of great
benefit to all and credit to the citizens
of the county.
