The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1884-08-01

The Democrat has on exhibition a
number of heads Of oats of the White
Russian variety grown on the farm
of G. r. Tinan. at Klmball, d. r.,
which are really immense specimens.
Clate writes that the estimated yield
So bushels to the acre. 1t seems that
besides editing one of the brightest
local papers publlshedin that country
Clate bids fair to make also a success
full farmer, and appears to have struck
a "bonanza' all round. -Painesyllle
(O) Democrat.
Kimball was honored on Saturday
last by a visit from G. J. Stockwell
the porcupine editor of the Plankin-
ton Free Press, G. E. Nevin and
Harry Brock the wide-awake boys
of that excellent paper, the White
Lake Dispatch and dishonored by
Bro. Willis slipping away from the
watchful eye of Bro. Hammond and
ourselves; and getting "fuller than a
goat" and having to be taken home
on a wheelbarrow and have his boots
pulled off.
A partly demented l6 year old boy,
brother of VIM. Mierstein of this
place wandered away from home on
Sunday last. Bills were printed at
this office shortly after, advertising
his disappearance. He was finally
discovered at Chamberlain where he
had been placed in confinement for
safe keeping, having been found by
some Chamberlain people rear Puk-
wana. Mr.. Mierstein went down
Wednesday and brought the poor
boy home.
The question naturally arises in
the minds Of many: If one Of the
prominent members Of the city ccun-
Gil can lower the grade of the side
walks to meet the level of his build
ing, instead Of raising his building,
to the level of the grade established
why cannot anyone lay their side
walks as best snits their convenience?
If MIR. Gale should choose to lower
the walks in front of the Bank Of
Kimball, considering it is impossible
to raise the building, we fail to see
how the city fathers could consis-
tently "kick" inasmuch as they do
not "practice what they preach"
