1t is rumored that the next sociable
Of the Ladies Mite Society will be the
grandest affair of the season. Among
the attractions will be ice cream or
Strawberries Or both, we don't know
which everybody will be invited and a
good time be the result
Rumor has it that a few of the aspi-
rants for county office have organized
a ring, and commenced to set the polit-
ical pot a-boiling in view of the coming
fall election. Rather early, but we sup
pose they work on the principle that
the early bird catches the worm.

lodged in the bosom Of his family for a

to Woonsocket where he does business.
An exchange says: Newspapers are
a NECESSITY nowadays, and a man
might as well toe the mark and sub
scribe promptly as 10 put off on some
miserable excuse or other, and be kicked
by his conscience-ja -jawed by the old
woman-pestered by the children and
laughed at by his neighbors as the-man-
-borroWs- -but-neyer-suhscribes.
Sturgeon is about right when he says,
81 never had any faith in luck at all,
except that I believe good luck will
carry man over ditch if he jumps
well, and will put a bit of bacon into
his pot if he looks after his garden and
keeps pig. Luck generally comes to
those who look after it, and my notion
is that it taps once in lifetime, at
eyerybody's door, but if industry does
not open it, away it goes.
Mail route No. 353G4 from Elmer to
Waterbury, three times a week, was
let to Geo. N. Price for 1890. The mail
will leave Elmer Tuesdays Thursdays
and Saturdays at a. m., arrive at Wa
terbury at noon, leave Waterbury at l
p. IN. and arrive at Elmer the same day,
commencing July 1, 1884. This will
give us a great deal better communica-
tion with the western part Of the coun-
ty than we have heretofore had, and
will consequently give the people along
the line who get their mail from this
office better satisfaction than formerly.
''Shall we celebrate the Fourth of j u
ly?" has been the universal question
on the streets during the past week,
and the answer has generally been "Of
course we shall" Therefore there will
be a meeting on Friday afternoon
next at the court house to discuss ways
and means and appoint committees to
do the work and prepare a programme,
for as fine celebration as has been, or
will hereafter be, held in southern Da-
kota. Let everybody exhibit an inter-
est in this matter and turn out to the
meeting and make the celebration a
success.
