Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1884-04-03
Rev. NJ. Hoyt has rendered his resig-

nation as rector OF Grace church, at
Huron, to take place June 1st, after
which time he will move to Hurley and
take charge of the Episcopal church
here. Mr.. Hoyt has hosts of friends in
this section who illreJoice at the pros
poets o. soon having him with them.
IT. b. Buchanan of Spring Valley,\
now smiles louder than ever, as result
of his possessing the best flowing well
in Turner county. AT the depth of 1O4
feet the supply reservoir was tapped,
and through a two inch pipe there now
flows eighty gallons of water per min
ute. Mr.. Agregaard put this well down
Yin nine hours and a half. -
The Y ankton Press of Monday con-
tains the sad announcement of the sud-
den death of Mr.. b. G, Bagley, at his
home in Clay county. on Monday morn
ing. Mr.. Bagley had made many friends
in this section during his recent visits
here, and when he departed for his
home, last Saturday morning, he APP
peared in his usual health.
Ina recent conversation with prom
inent Dane farmer living south of Swan
Lake, in speaking of the improved con-
dition of many of his countrymen who
had settled in this county. he said there
were many who came here a few years
ago with comparatively nothing, and
whose worldly possessions now reach
into the thousands of dollars. Atten-
tion to business and economy is all that
is needed to made man independent
in this country.
The Centreville Chronicle fays, Hur-
ley has some live and wide-awake busi-
ness men as shown by the columns of
the Herald" She has that; and we
would remark right here that the col
umns of the local newspaper are true
criterion of the enterprise, thrift and
o-ahead-ativeness of a community, in
which respect Hurley doesn't propose
to play second-fiddle to any boom cen
ter in this modern wonderland.
o. G. Alderman has a large number
of seven year-old apple trees of stand
ard ieties-Duchess, Wealthy. Wal
bridge, etc.-which he is setting out on
ibis fruit farm in orchard rows. He is
also making preparations to put out a
large tract of gooseberries and currant
this spring. His experience in fruit
growing in this section has satisfied
him that, with the proper varieties, it
is a success, and he proposes to have
the largest fruit farm in southern Da-
kota. Parties interested in this branch
of farming-and all should be-will be
amply repaid by visiting Mr.. Alder
mans farm, two miles south of Hurley,
\ and seeing for themselves what the re-
llsult of his experiments have been.
An enthusiast on the Dakota immi-
grafton question gives vent to his view
kof the matter, as follows: 1t is coming
from the east and from the south; from
1.-the sunny shores OF Italy and the the
Pvine-clad slopes of France; from the
crowded marts of England and the OPP
| pression-cursed confines Of the Emerald
| Isle; the sturdy German joins the roll
ing flood and the highlands and low
lands of Scotland pour their thousands
into the grand Dakot;-bound phalanx.
Even the almond-eyed. idolworshiping
| Chinaman casts glances with his bias
cut eyes in this direction, with envy IN
every look, and wishes he could come
too. There Is room enough for all
Dakota could almost camp the world
upon its prairies and arabic slopes,
and the productions of its incompara.
BILE soil would feed the universe.
III Here is what an Iowa editor says up
on his return from visit to Dakota:
/ A remarkable feature of the settlement
of Dakota is found in the refined and
intellectual characters of the settlers
not only in the towns ana cities but on
the homesteads are found those who
have been leaders in the most select
society in their former homes. Here
they unite with their old social tact q

manner that is truly captivating. Proc
that the business men of Dakota are
endowed with plenty of vim and busi
ness ability is found in the appearance
of the towns along the line OF the rail
roads. None of them are more than
five and most of them are not two year
old, yet they are well supplied with al
lines of business houses that atfort
every possible necessary or luxury thai
I, can be desired.
