CUSTER CITY,

WI -
The pioneer town oftlle Hills is situat-
cd in the southern portion about twelve
or fifteen miles from the foothills and
its natural advantages are acknowledged
by all as excelling oil others either in
the mining or agricultural districts.
Located in Il valley ten or twelve miles
long by oue mile III width, it is easily
accessible TO railroads either frnm the
east, sou Il or west, L is The only town
in the Hills hat could be tapped by a
road running on an east and west line,
froul either Pierre or Chamberlain. To
tap any other town, q road, having rs its
objective point the Yellowstone park or
the Pacific coast, would have 10 make q
,.rtou- from loo to 200 miles. Already
survcvS have been run by various roads
having this point in view. Thus sitnat-
cd it draws to its support the business
of the mining districts of the Southern
Hills and also that Of the farming and
stock raising interests, the latter ex-
tending for sixty miles to the south and
west. 1t is also the centre of the richest
mica district in the world, there being
within a radius of three miles no less
than "a half dozen producing mines the
annual yield Of which is upward of
10000 pounds Of me~rclIantable mica to
the mine. On the north, and from two
to ten miles from town are the bonanza
uoid mines of the Southern Hills inciud-
ing the Grand junction, Old Bill, Hart
ford, Atlantic, Salmon, st. Elmo. Penob-
scot, Gold Star and others, a majority of
which have mills, hosting works, etc,
now in operation. On the south for ten
or twelve miles are to be found rich cop
per and silver mines and on the west
the coal fields, gypsum beds, salt and oil
springs, while fertile farming lands are
sandwiched in between all. As an illu-
stration Of the money to be made on
even a small piece Of farming land in
he valleys surrounding Custer we will
state that j. \. Wright on seventeen
acres, located two miles west of town,
cleared 81 500 in one summer. On the
south, within six or eight hours ride,
are the famous Hot Springs, whose cur
alive powers are already attracting the
attention Of the outside world, and
which are equal to those Of Arkansas.
The town is the county seat Of Custer
county, which hasan area of3,00n square
miles, two-thirds of Which is agricultural
and grazing lands and the other third
mineral, the latter occupying the north
ern portion Of the county are covered
with a heavy growth Of Norway pine
The town has q $1,000 conrt house, two
fine church-buildings, belonging to the
Methodist and Congregational societies
and vii! soon have 2 large school build.

To ThIne own SER he Truc.

To Thine Own Self be True.
By thine own soul's law learn to live,
And II men thwart thee take no heed,
And If men hate thee have no care;
Sing thou thy song and do thy deed,
Hope thou thy hope and pray thy prayer,
And claim no crown they will not give,
Nor bays they grudge thee for thy hair.
Keep thou thy soul-sworn steadfast oath,
And to thy heart be true thy heart;
What thy soul teaches learn to know,
And play out thine appointed part;
And thou shalt reap as thou shalt SOW,
Nor helped nor hindered in thy growth,
To thy full stature thou shalt grow.
Fix on the futures goal thy face,
And let thy feet be lured to stray
Nowhither, but be swift to run,
And nowhere tarry by the way,
Until at last the end is won,
And thou may'st look back from thy place
And see thy long days journey done.

There is no denying the fact that KINsEY s

Der ofmy customers say that during this oppres-
siye June weather KINsEY's Tonic produces a
magical effect. In speaking of the prices of the
Tonic more than one customer here told me that
they would not be without the medicine If they
had to pay five dollars bottle for IL. One gentle
man enthusiastically declared it worth five
hundred dollars bottle. From personal know ledge

purchased more and in every instance declared
that the medicine was having beneficial effect up

An Upward Turn.

The ups and downs of life are shown in
the case of Mr.. Henry M. Crane, who had
been serving for long time as porter in a
San Francisco hotel. AT one time he was q
wealthy mill-owner at Schenectady, N. Y,
but reverses overwhelmed him. Recently
he received letter from his brother, to
whom he had loaned $4,000 while in his
better days, but which the borrower had
never been able to return. The letter
stated TINT the writer, railroad man, had
suddenly become rich, and had sent to the
porter the $4,000 with accumulated inter-
est, amounting to $50, 900. Mr.. Crane i'm.
mediately resigned his position as porter
md started banking house.

The Flames In the Forests.

RALEIGH, n. C., April For three
days and nights the most destructive fire
ever known in this section has been de-
vastating the Southern border OF the
State, extending in six or seven Coun-
ties. Vast forests Of long leaf pine have
been attacked. They formed the chief
source of the timber supply. The high
winds famed the flames iuto fury, and
hundreds of thousands OF trees were
burned, and some of the larges: turpen-
tine orchards in the State have been
ruined. Many farm houses have been
destroyed. The people have been brave.

narrowly escaped destruction. at Men.
ly, on the Raleigh and Augusta Railway
o number of houses were burned. Large
stores of lumber sills on the line of road
were also destroyed and dozen turpen-
tine distileries are ruined. The coun-
try in great stretches 10 but blackened
wilderness. The extent of the disaster
is not yet known. Many families are
homeless. The fire has swept here and
there some fifty miles in one direction
and thirty in another. Few places, it is
reported, escaped. The fires were caused
by burning brush. The fires extended
far into South Carolina. On the line of
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad tna trains have been running
through mi es of fire. Two dwellings
and eight or en- barns have been burned
in that district. So far as known no lives
have been lost.

The State Democratic Executive Com.
Convention to meet on Thursday, the
26th day Of June next, at twelve o'clock
M, for the purpose of electing delegates
to the National Democratic Convention,
nominating State ticket. clccting q
State Executive Committee, nominating
Presidential Electors, and transacting
such other business as may come before
the Convention. As was to be expected,
this action has been viewed differently
by different paper. in the State, some of
them severely criticisinS the Committee
for its action as an unheard Of thing, and
IN effort to secure the denomination Of
the present State ticket. In this, our
brethren Of the press do the Committee
an injustice, and show that their memo
ries are quito defective, for not longer
ago than 1882 there was but one Con-
vention, which met in June and nomina-
ted Governor Hagood, and the balance
Of the State ticket, elected delegates to
Cincinnati, adopted a platform, nomina-
ted Presidential Electors, elected a State
Executive Committee end adjourned
ane die before the meeting of the
National Democratic Convention, which
nominated Hancock and English. In
that year tho Committee did not call the
Convention to nominate State ticket,
but there was strong opposition to Gov.
Hagood, and yet the Convention nomi-
mated the ticket. This produced greet
dissatisfaction, because many contended
that the people did not expect State
ticket to be nominated, and an advantage
had therefore been taken by the nomina-
tion. To avoid such state Of things
now, the Committee has called Is Con-
vention explicitly with full powers. If
the Convention does not wish to nomi.
nate, it can decide not to do SO, but the
whole question is submitted to the peo.
pie. Instead of trying to take an advan-
tage Of the people, the Executive Com-
mittee has called attention to the powers
of the Convention, and the people can
decide any or all of the questions MS they
please when they elect their delegates.
The action Of the Comm ittee insures an
expression Of the people on this matter.
If they want two Conventions they can
have them, and if they only want one,
they will elect delegates to carry out
their wishes In all these matters.
