The Union Temperance meeting
will be held an the NJ. E.. church on
Sunday evening next. Mrs. Barker.
Of Chamberlain has been engaged to-
deliver an address en- this OCCASION.
Let everybody come and hear a good
speech.
A lady in Brule county dreamed
three nights in succession that there
was a roll of bills under a certain
stone on her claim, and upon going
there and turning over the stone
what was her surprise to find
nothing.
There is n thing certain, if the
."Mother Hubbards" have got to go
they will make mighty good night
dresses for some of us poor fellows.
Ye,ediSor has become tired of sleeping
in a lisen duster; who will send him
a "Mother HUBBARD?
MI. & Mrs. Pattee wish, through
the columns of the GRAPHIC, to ex-
tend their heart felt thanks to their
friends who so handsomely remem-
bered them on the anniversary of
their wedding. Coming as they did,
SO unexpectedly, the presents are
doubly appreciated.
The train which left for the east
on Wednesday morning took with
it our esteemed friend John s. White
The boys say he has gone after a wife
We don't know, but think the boys
have hit pretty close. At any rate
we hope SO for John is too good a
fellow to be running around loose.
Ola Nelson thought he had atrotter
that could just down anything in Da-
kota. Ed Taft bet him $50 to 500
that he was "way off" The money
was put up and Ed went out to his
barn and hitched up a horse he uses
for drawing off his swill and went
cut on the track and gobbled the
money too easy to make the race
even interesting.
Other arrangements prevented the
GRAPHIC editor from attending the
silver wedding Of MI. and Mrs. Tru-
man Pattee on Tuesday evening last,
but he was not forgotten On the fol-
lowing morning, as eyinced by Mr..
Pattee bringing into this office some
luscious melons and q box of cake,
for all of which he returns many
thanks. At present writing the
melons are no more, and our "deyil'
looks like a frog blowed up with a
goose quill.
A prairie fire which proved to be
a most destructive one started three
miles east of Kimball on the north
of the track on Friday last, sweeping
for miles in a northern direction, and
catching many q farmer unawares.
The damage done was great, but we
have been unable to learn of Its full
extent further than that Mr.. Reed of
this place had five stacks of oats
burned, and MIR. Sullivan, t~hirty-6ve
acres Of crops in stack, also a barn and
other oltrbuildings containing, tools,
harnesses etc,

VIZ have been requested by many
to announce the name of G. ] May
nard for candidate for Sheriff,
subject to the nomination of the re-
publican county convention. Mr..
Maynard is so well known in Kim
ball and vicinity that it is almost
unnecessary for us to say that no more
fitting nomination could be made.
He is a gentleman of the highest
character and integrity, and should he
secure the nomination would poll al
most an unanimous vote in Kimball;
in itself a fact sufficient for the peo-
pie of Br',le county to realize his
worth and fitness for any county Office
within the gift Of the people.
