The weather the past few days has
been warm enough for August.

Walter II. Burton and family, OF

We are glad to welcome such citizens
to our little village.
A new stock Of fall and winter dry

sonable and cheap.
The Republican nominees for the
Legislature from this district will adj.
dress the people upon the issues OF the

Wolves got away with about Is
chickens for Frank Peterson a few
nights ago, and about the same number
for We senior editor. 1t beats the
dickens what an immense appetite the
critters have.
The Pierre Democrat, published
at Pierre by L. b. Miller, late of the
Fairbank News, is the latest new ven
ture in journalism, the first issue of
which made its appearance last Satur-
day. Mr.. Miller is vigorous writer,
and the paper Il very creditable one
only it is on the wrong side of the po-
litical fence.
-" Down with the Ring is the slo-
gan of the Carson Herald, printed all
through the paper. The Interpretation
of this cry is, turn good and capa
bile man out and put Frost OF the Her
aid, in his place" Too diaphanous.
This is the sum and substance of the
"down with the ring hue and cry.
There is no more "rng" in Sully
county than there is in Heaven, where
the angels are banded to keep the devil
out
The young ladies' of Blunt have
organized Broom Brigade and are
being drilled by Capt. Merrill in the
latest tactics of "wah y We protest
against this demonstration. The ladies
always develop plenty of natural skill
with the broom handle for the peace of
the 'lords of creation" and, as sever
al of Clifton's young men have mani
tested tender attachment for some of
the sweet girls of Blunt, and are liable
to settle some of them among us, We
object to their being encouraged in this
foolishness
Equal justice to the whole people
Of Sully county demands that the
county seat remain just where it is.
Were Clifton not located both very
near the geographical center and also
of nopulation, it might be presumptive
in claiming this, but under the cir
cumstances, we can claim it with good
grace, and down deep in their hearts
We believe that every man in the coun-
ty will agree with US that there is no
grounds for the removal of the county
seat at the present time and under the
condition Of affairs. Vote for Clifton
and you will do no injustice to any one.
There is a political future before
the people of Sully county, who are
composed largely Of the grand old Re-
publican parties of Iowa, Minnesota,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio,
and other western and eastern states,
and we trust that none who have work
ed with the Republicans from principle
in the past will now allow themselves
to be drawn into any afiiliation which
will place them in the position of bolt
ers and soreheads during the present
campaign. There is not money enough
in any Of the offices in the gift of the
people, at least at present, to make it
an object to place themselves in an
equivocal position for all time to come.
1t will be more honorable to stand
firm to honest convictions and bide the
time TO come.
500 will buy span of work
horses of ii. e. pease, on the Okobojo
near Carson.
