The Press and Dakotaian acknowl-
edges the favor of a complimentary card
to the fourth annual ball of Sioux
City Typographical union No. $50, to
occur on New Years eve. We know OF
no event more worthy of personal at
tendance than the annual social gather
ing of the typos who toll by day and
night within the four walls OF Sioux
City's printing houses. A happy lew
year is profered in advance.

Swine growers, who are daily throng.
ing the Yspkton market, report an ex-
%cellent condition of health among their
herds. The epidemic OF a year ago has
departed and only an occasional instance
of infection is noted. This years crop
of hogs is unusual for size, solldity,
weight and excellent quality and can
hardly be surpassed in any section east
or west. The marketable quantity is
much larger than ever before.
Our reporter was in error in his state
ment that Rev. O. r. Hager delivered a
woman's rights sermon on Thanksgiving
day. His sermon was of a general
nature and referred incidentally to
the influence OF woman as the purer
sex and consequently the natural
teacher in life's affairs, more by example
than through assumed leadership. While
MIR. Hager IS favorable to the cause of
woman's rights in the popular accepta-
tion of the term, he made no speciality of
this feature in his Thanksgiving effort,
which was an ardent discourse upon
themes suggested by the occasion.

~withstanding the reports to the contrary,
A large number of the wayfarers who
are obliged to travel over Yankton coun-
ty by wagon, have lodged a substantial
kick against the terrible condition of the
roads in this county and especially con-
corning the road up Mount Marty, COM
monty known through the county as the
Bon Homme road. At the base of this
hull begins 8 large snowbank which ex-
tends clear to the summit, and in order
to get by he same it is necessary to
make a wide detour over rocks, ploughed
ground and smaller hills. The wreck Of
one wagon and a used up bob sled are
to be found near this hill. aud each per-
son who attempts to gain the summit,
and road above is greatly surprised at
coming out alive. Two men with shovels
could improve the condition of things
in a short time.
