SPHINX, OAK, May 9Th, 1884.
Everything in this locality is quiz
ct and the fields in condition to
work. The farmers are busy and
spring work is progressing, and a
few are planting corn. Esq. Wade
finished 20 acres May Sd. He thinks
it will do if good seed is planted.
The Vermillion creamery company
is making it lively west of the Brule
for the Hazenville creamery coInpa-
ny by advancing the price on cream.
The Hazen company is a solid one
and can stand the pressure.
Mrs. l.. Goodroad started for

years old, and very active for a per-
son SO aged.
O.. Anderson, A. Lund, A. Peter

The outfit will drive through about
100 head Of cattle.
Mr.. Johnson and brother will
soon make tracks for Douglas coun-
ty. They think it a very good coun-

J. y. Davis, one Of our solid far
mers, who has been ill a long time,
is improving.
L. Larson, one of the oldest set
tiers and a thriving go-ahead farmer,
is mostly surrounded by creeks and
without a bridge to get to the city.
A bridge at his crossing and one at
Haston will open the section line
road, which is good except the lack
Of bridges. The commissioners will
probably look the matter up soon.
Mr.. Gilbert, Of Lemars, has bought
the Newman farm and is figuring
for q number more all on the rail-
road survey, on sections 1874. The

The Missouri Valley & Pacific rail
road win be built without a doubt;
every indication points that way.

a lady died recently in one Of our
large cities who is said to have dam

General must have devoted most OF
his time to the art, as this adds one
more to the $4,000 reported to have
danced with him. 1t requires a vivid
imagination to believe this, but none
at all to believe the assertion thatten

used DeLand's Soda and Saleratus,

Just across the river in Iowa, caught

French Celebration-St. Johns
Dav

French Celebration-St. Johns
Day.
As we have before stated the Oath
day Ut June or st. Johns Day is to
the French people something like
the 4th of July is to the Americans.
A meeting of the French people
living in and surrounding the Vii
lage Of Jefferson was had on last
Friday evening to take the necessary
steps for the observance of this day
in grand style Oh the coming Oath
of June. An organization was
effected by the election of Hon. J. B.
Brouillette as President, DR.. Pinaud,
as Secretary and seven trustees,
consisting of Chas. LaBreeche, Jos.
ferter, Isaac Montague, Alex Bour-
assa, Marck Chiceoine, l.. Bernard
and Thos. Reando, and active prep
arations are being made to have the
grandest celebration of the kind ever
at Jefferson. We had the pleasure
of attending the celebration there
last yesr and never spent a more
enjoyable day in our lives. The
French people are the most patriotic
and hospitable people in the world,
and we guarantee that every n
who attends this celebration will be
treated courtously and Hospitality.
The Elk Point Brass Band will as
sist the Jefferson band in making
music for the occasion. The exer-
cises will begin at 10 O'Clock in the
morning by celebrating high mass,
in the church, after which the pro-
cession will march to LaDreeche's
grove where an elegant dinner will
be served, and the afternoon spent
in patriotic speeches, toasts and re-
sponses, music, &c. All are cordial
ly invited to attend.

The warm weather of the spring
time seems to hatch out numerous
itinerant frauds, and this springs
crop seems to embrace more than the
usual number of these frauds re-
presenting themselves as insurance
agents, who are acting for companies
that exist only on paper. We are
infomed that quite a large number
of farmers have already been vic
timized. Fire insurance is a protec-
ton that all our farmers should
have, and as we have honest and re-
liable agents here in Elk Point who
represent companies that are old
and known to be financially solid,
we can not see the necessity of far
mers patronizing agents who have
no home office or abiding place, and
who represent compaies not known
to be safe.
