last week with a car load Of stock
and goods. Nj. Clark was in Kim

to a friend here then that Kimball
would be the county seat in less than
three years.
Bro. Lafabre, of the Chamberlain
Democrat, stopped off here on Friday
last for al hours visit with friends.
He is very much pleased with the To-
cation of the land for the county

wish he would come oftener.
The funeral of City Marshal Pierce

kimball has n composed of one
board a foot wide and the girls kick

boys say so.
BY bills issued from this office the
public are made acquainted with the
fact that the Bank of Kimball has
plenty of money to loan on land and
chattles at reasonable rates of interest
and on easy terms. Mr.. Gale informs
us that he intends to continue the
business here and hopes by fair and
honorable dealing on his part to re-
ceive a liberal share of the public
patronage.
w. II. Snow, formerly Of Reese
VILE, Wis, has purchased of d. War
ner three residence lots fronting on
Central Park and has commenced his
house and barn. Mr.. Snow, after
looking owe nearly all the towns and
counties in South Dakota, has wisely
decided upon Kimball as being the
most desirable place to locate. He
will buy a farm close by as soon as
possible.

Stockwell, the religious editor of the

upon the Free Press for an account
of the doings which We will clip
when it appears.
