At Rev. Mr.. Clapp's residence last
evening the Young Peoples mission
band of the Congregational church
entertained their friends. BY an arrange
ment most admirable the young ladies
of the society gather ut the place of
meeting at z O'clock and for two hours
their deft fingers ply needle and thimble
in the construction of articles which are
disposed of for cash, the proceeds going
into the society's exchequer. at 9 O'Clock
the young gentlemen arrive and then
refreshments are enjoyed, after which
the contribution box is passed and then
the assembly is allowed to indulge its
will. This programme was so effectually
carried out last night that the house full

The clerk of the court, e. q. Edger-
ton, has had a wind fall of luck recently,
but it is of the reverse order and if the
results are not different than the present
Indications ~foretell he will be something
like $500 out. On Wednesday Mr..
Edgerton turned his team of buggy
horses loose in the barn yard for exercise
and the equines in their gambols broke
through the fence and have not been
seen since and inquiry at several places
where the horses would be liable to go
fails to find them. Last night some one
entered Mr.. Edgerton's barn and in leav-
ing took away the bride and reins of q
fine new siugle harness, leaving MI. Ed
gerton one-half of the harness. Ii the
taker will call around outside OF business

The subject of the prices paid by
Yankton dealers for grain and produce
has been brought TO notice again by q
paragraph in the Herald of last week
and as it is a matter of some importance
to every one, care has been taken to en-.
quire into the case. G. A. Archer, q
Yankton grain dealer, who is interested
in buying grain at almost every othe,
grain market in this vicinity, says the
dealers of this city pay as much and
sometimes more for grain than dealers
at other points, except, probably, al
Freeman, Hutchinson county, where q
farmers elevator has been recently
opened and where the dealers are en-
gagged in o Tun on each other. Thil
farmers elevator has been paying toe
much for grain and a balancing of book!
at the end of one of the months pas
found the elevator about $3.50 out.
