The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1885-03-20

A little six year old while skating
in the opera house Wednesday night
slipped and fell to the floor, alighting
solidly on that portion which gets
over the fence last. He sprung up
instantly, rolled along to where his
mother was sitting, with his hands
on the bruised portion and exclaimed
with a sad look on his face, ooh
mamma my hearts broke" jim
Ups heart must be smashed iatter'
than a pancake by this time.
An exchange says: 1t is worth re-
Numbering that no newspaper is
printed especially for one person any
more than a hotel is built especially
to please one guest. People who be-
come greatly displeased with some
thing they find in . newspaper,
should remember that the very thing
that displeases them is exactly the
thing that will please somebody who
has just as much interest in the paper
as they have.
We understand the people Of Crow
Lake are preparing to make that place
something of a summer resort, and
will place four or five pleasure boats
in the lake this spring. 1t will be
handy to Waterbury, at any rate, and
we shall try and have our bathing
suit ready for business and be on
hand when camp meeting common
ces.- Waterbury Nems.
This is a warning to everyone in
that section to haul their supply of
water from the lake before the editor
of the Ncacs takes his annual bath.
Mr.. II. Z. Gates, of this village,
leaves this week for Klmball, Dakota,
where he expects to make it his fu-
ture home. He is president of the
Farmers and Traders Bank, at that
place, and will devote a greater por-
ton of his time to the business of
that institution and placing loans on
real estate in the west for eastern
capital. Mr.. Gates has been connec-
ted with business enterprises in this
town for a number of years and is a
| young man of extensive business ex-
perience, and we regret to lose him.
His family will remain here a few
weeks longer.-G oncer7eeur Free

Quite an amusing incident occur
red in the GRAPHIC Office Tuesday.
While no n was present but the
foreman a gentleman who lives four
miles south of town walked in, slam
cd down two silver dollars on one of
the imposing stones and exclaimed: 81
believe it the duty | owe my country
and my God to subscribe for the
GRAPHIC" then turned and walked
out before he could be stopped. The
best part of it was the foreman was
so intensely interested in the 50 he
forgot to ascertain the new converts
name, which was accidently ascer-
tanned by the editor shortly after.
The GRAPHIC returns thanks for the
compliment and hopes its newly
found friend will always think as
well of it.
G. L. Hammond, editor and pro-
prietor Of the Ia0er, has accepted a
position of bookkeeping with the
Sioux City Printing Co. and will with
his wife move there this week. He
has been at work for the company for
the past two weeks, returning to Kim
ball Tuesday evening to transact bust
ness connected with the Lder. Mr..
q Mrs. Hammond will be greatly
missed among a large circle of friends
and acquaintance in kimball who
learn of their departure with regret.
The GRAPHIC joins with them ia wish
ing the young couple the best of sue
cess and happiness in their new home,
and always extending to them a well
come return to kimball. The LSdca
is at present in charge Of j. S. Roe, so
long the efficient foreman, who seems
to get out a readable paper with but
little trouble.
Cold weather still predominates,
and the struggle of supremacy be
tween old Sol and the North Pole is
not yet ended, although the former is
steadily but slowly gaining. The
lake shore ridge roads are mostly free
of snow. Good sleighing is still
found some miles south; the mercury
at six this morning was but six de-
grees above zero.-PainesciNe co.,
Telegraph.
On the day in which the above
was written the editor of the GRApH-
&c was putting a few finishing touch
es OH his house on the Reserve, work
ing with coat off and keeping in the
shade of the building out of the sun.
Farmers were sowing wheat and
breaking. 1t has been a long hard
pull to make these eastern editors be-
lieve in the grand climate of South
Dakota and that there is as much
