The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1885-08-06
rIS1T yO RUSHMoRE.

In accordance with our decision 10
look over the county some during this
season of abundant crops, we helped
the ADVANCE family into buggy on
Friday last and set out for Rushmore.
The light rain Of the evening before had
cooled the air some, but did not inter-
fere with harvesting, and farmers on
either side of the road were out with
their reapers. which looked like the
wheels of stern wheel steamers revOlv-
wing over Il sea OF crops. The oat har
vest had fairly begun, and so far as We
could learn, the crop is i full one.
After passing the ridge, four miles
out and up. and looking 1T the vast
spaces Of still unoccupied land, we
could not help again thinking what an
incubus and drawback the alternate
sections Of railroad land have been.
and what tempting opportunities there
IRE in this county for men of capital to
secure lands and become comparative
ly rich III 4 few years.
We arrived ut the llushmore Hotel,
the neatest little public house in the
county, in good time for dinner, and
were soon made ''at home' and royal
ly entertained by cur friend Wemple
and his charming family. We miss the
New Workers whom We used to meet
in the early days of Rushmore, Mr..
Wemple being now the only remaining
Metropolitan. lie is becoming 4 thor
ougl farmer and has the pluck and
faith to "stick" and grow up with the
country.
Mr.. w. has in this year 1G0 acres of
crops, about 60 acres Of which are in
flax. His son E. $. Wemple is with
him this summer, looking brown and
rugged and enjoying his work better
than matchmaking in the large cities.
He has in about 50 acres Of his own.
Operating also with Mr.. Wemple is
his son law, Mr.. Schaefer, a branch
Of the prominent St. Paul family. Mr..
5. still travels for q Milwaukee house
but he is picking up other treasures be-
sides Ills ''help-mate'' about Rushmore.
He has purchased Il half section, inclu-
ding the Bedford tree claim. which, has
on it 80 acres of trees, including 1000
black walnuts. now two to three inch
es through and growing vigorously. In
time, the walnuts will he worth as
mnch as the land. Mr.. s. has about
100 acres in flax and 30 to 40 in time
thy. lie is also purchasing short horn
cattle and has four or five beauties
now on hand and on pasture.
We noticed that the stock farm of
A. G.. Seney is still intact, with F. H.
Thompson in charge. There are about
800 head Of cattle in the herd, one.
third of which are blooded stock. AL
though Mr.. Seney has removed to
Sioux Falls. he intends enlarging and
improving his herd. Mr.. S. is putting
up about 500 tons Of hay:
We learned from Mr.. Watkins, the
alert station agent, that there is pros
pect Of two more warehouses at Rush
ey's, in charge of Mr.. Wemple. Pea
vey & Co. expect to build one 24x6O,
and B. F. ROderick. Of Sioux Falls, an
other about the same size.
Dropped in and saw 8. 3. Bedford,
the Kushmore merchant, who has
monopoly on the mercantile and post
office business, and is preparing fer
brisk fall trade.
Rushmore has a beautiful little
church, good schoolhouse, a parlor
town, but we learn that since the town
site and some of the adjacent lands
passed into the hands of the Alex.
Mitchell estate, no town lots can he
bought, nor can anyone he found who
has charge of the lots. This is unfnr-
tunate and we hope soon to see Rush
more out Of the hands of ''big estates'
and the whole county out Of the hands
Of the railroad and other large land
companies.
AS to crops about Rushmore, they
are, rs everywhere else about the coun-
ty, mp to high water mark.
CANCERS CONQUERED.
The Swift Specific Company have the
most indubitable evidence as to the
cure Of cancer by their famous medi.
cine, S. $. S. Among others, John S.
Morrow, an old and highly esteemed
citizen of Florence, Ala, makes the
following statement as to the merits of
this remedy:
II have been suffering with cancer
in my right ear for about three years.
l tried various remedies and was treat
ed with lodide of Potash, which pro-
duced rheumatism. My feet and legs
were greatly swollen, SO that I could
not walk. About one year ago was
induced to try Swift's Specific, which
soon removed the trouble in my limbs,
and my rheumatism is now entirely
gone and my cancer is steadily impro-
wing, being better now than at any
time within two years. This medicine
has done more good than anything else
have taken, and feel that l am on
the road to a speedy cure. Undoubted-
ly Swift's Specific IS the best blood pur-
ifer in the world"
JOHN S. MORROW.
Florence, Ala, Sept. %, 'S4.
I have lad cancer on my face for
many years. have tried great many
remedies but without relief. l almost
gave up hope of being cured. DR..
Hardman, my son, recommended
Swift's Specific. which 1 have taken
with great results. My face is almost
we'll, and it is impossible for me to ex-
press my thanks in words for what
this medicine has done for me.
