HOME HAPPENINGS.
Some of the Clifton side walks

-Inas. Butts, Esq, returned from
Pierre, Thursday
Who ever saw finer March wealth
er SO far ~ we have got?
B. p. Hoover and Jos. kokesh
visited Pierre the first Of the week
A. c. Gleason and J. w. Glessner,
of l1I79, made us n pleasant visit,
Tuesday.
IT. B. Moore, of the Security Mort
gage and Investment Co., of Pierre ac-
companed by his wife, was IN town,
Thursday
C. ii. Whitman moved down on
his farm about miles southeast, Mon
day, and will turn his attention to farm
ing for time.
Willie Ross, who is now working
with Fred Caring, at the Ft. Sully
milk ranch, has been spending most of
the week with his parents and friends.
The residence Of r. Norton, of
Onida, caught on fire from disjointed
stove. pipe, last week, but the flames
were extinguished before much damage
was done
Farmers that are in need of Seed
ers, Drills, Pulverizers, two horse and
hand corn planters, Plows, Harrows,
or in fact anything needed on the farm
should not fail to call on Warner Bros,
at Pierre or Blunt 81
John c. Blaisdell has sold his half
interest in the Sully dairy ranch to his
partner, Fred Caring, and spent two or
three days with his old Clifton friends
the first of the week. John is n genial
and square dealing young man, and We
trust that he will linger somewhere
hereabouts.
Henry Potter, Vice President of
the Clifton Athletes, was out early this
morning racing with his hat, and made
elevation on the school section, one
fourth mile, IN just 5S seconds. He
steps little high for n quarter dash,
but few such practices will get him
down, and then look out for some fast
time.
II. j. Brownlcc OF the Okobojo
Mills, and Frank Sutherland, merchant,
visited us, Saturday. Frank said he
was hunting, but, as he didn't have any
gun, we are at loss to know what
kind of game he was after. Those
genial smiles of his which so readily
captures the girls wont bring down
wolf at very long range.
Walter \. Melooa has bought
span of horses of the Cole Bros. and
will tear up some soil this season.
Walt can "hold down" jack plane or
saw, or draft the plans and speciiica-
tons for building equal to the best
of them, but when he comes to bear
on " to plow in the bunch-grass We
are afraid he will be found lacking in
that part of the anatomy which is sup
posed to make 'er run steady. He's
got the sand, though, and will try it
a good tussel.
Many of our farmers seem dis
posed to turn their attention to divers
iiied crops, and will divide their ground
up between wheat, flax, oats, barley,
corn, &c. We believe this u wise con-
clusion, for should the season prove
unfayorahle for any particular crop
they will have others to fall back on
Then again, they will stand chance of
striking good market on some par
ticular kind or kinds of produce. When
any one kind is made speciality and
proves failure, it leaves the farmer in
a bad box, and should it bring a very
low price there will he no profit for his
labor. Above all, work into stock rs
fast as possible. There Is where the
profit will come in, and it will be more
easily made than any other way. Stick
pin here and don't you forget it.
