The reception in honor of Lieut.. Beat.
ty, at Major Sharp's residence, was en-
ioyed by about fifty invited guests.
Dancing, cards and the usual social IN,
dulgencies made the time fly, and the
elegant refreshments served added to
the evenings enjoyment.
For the thousandth time hunters re-
turning from the duck pastures of east
cru Yankton county remark, 'there's
plenty of ducks there, but they can't be
got without a boat" The boat is al
ways an after consideration. The hunt

excitement.
they see the day not very far ahead when
hax culture will be the exception, in
stead of the rule. 1t is wearing the soil
and filling it with weeds. There are ex-
perlenced farmers in this section who be-
lieve that a return to the growth of
wheat would be profitable for a couple

will encourage more extensive opera
tons in this cereal another year. Corn
is, however, the always reliable product.

around to church Sunday moving.
