The scarcity of hay in the north,
west this year will materially adj
vance the price of that product,
and here in Union county where
that crop is SO abundant, every
farmer should devote what time he
al spare in securing as much Of it
as he can. There is money in it
and it should not be neglected.

Piacers.

Placer mining is about to be resumed
on French creek and it's numerous tri-
butaries. The continuance of mild
weather has caused an earlier start in
this direction than usual, and many
miners have perfected arrangements for
the seasons work. From present ap-
pearances there will be a far greater
amount of gold taken from French creek
placers this season than has been taken
out during any preceding season. Many
20 acre claims have been located. which
have formerly been held as agricultural
land, which will necessitate a large
amount of work in its legal representa-.
ton, which will doubtless lead to the
discovery Of rich deposits hitherto un.
known, and be the means of increased
activity in this character of mining. We
feel fully assured Of 4 handsome gold
product from this source during the
coming season.

What IL the Matter, ?

If there Is not n screw loose some
where in the mail manipulating ma
chine, there must be gross negligence
on the part of the mailing clerks in
Deadwood newspaper offices. This
Office has not received a copy of the
Times or Pioneer for more than a week
If Deadwood papers were sen us via
Rapid City We would receive them on
the second day, as early as we receive
the Rapid papers which We do not re.
ceiye for some unknown cause until the
day subsequent to their issue. If the
Deadwood postmaster would send al.
Custer mail via Rapid City every day
except the days on which the semi.
weekly Deadwood and Custer mail
leaves that place, he would be con
ferring a very great favor on the people
Of this community, and we would offer
an extra prayer to further stay the ax
Of Villas, which has been playing such
cad havoc in the decapitation Of post
official heads in other less favored sec
tions of the realm.

Tho illustrated Custer Clipper.n

We were this week permitted to
sketch No. ] of Vol. I Of the above adj.
dition to Clusters journalistic enter
prises. The Clipper purports to be IL.
sued weekly in the southeast corner OF
the court house, which answering to the
description of the Jail, it is fair to
presume that some witty occupant of
that institution gave it to the world.
The Clipper, in %pretentions at least, is
fully uD to any Of the Black Hills journ-
ais, claiming a large circulation and
consequent inducements to advertisers.
The illustrations are purely local, and
indicate an order of talent that at once
stamps the author as an artist of marked
genius. Tie occupants Of the Jail are
prominent features among the subjects
illustrated, and the tin trio, in which
three Of II prominent experts are
portrayed with an appended dialogue,
would produce a smile upon the face Of
a sledge hammer. The terms Of the
Clipper is rated at $500 per annum, at
which figure We do not hesitate in
%pronouncing it a bargain.

an order segrcgating Fall River from

The @. A. r.. a

The ball given by the Grand Army
Post at the court house hall on last
Men lay night was "a most pronounced
success. From beginning to end not a
jar occurred to mar the harmony, or
disturb the continued flow Of social en-
joyment.
At $50 the Post bugler sounded the
assembly, as a signal of readiness for
the reception of the patrons for the
dance. In the half hour that followed
the spacious hall was m~easurably filled.
The bugler then sounded the call ITO the
%colors," and the members of the post in
their brilliant uniforms entered the
hall. Their entry, and subsequent evo-
lutiOns executed in the highest degree
of military precision, was a marked
feature If the occasion. The pleasures
Of the dance was continued without in
%terruption until 1880, when the men,
bers OF the post, assisted by Miss Bertha
Wood, and her sister. Mrs. Upper,
rendered "Tenting on the old Camp
Ground" a popular and appropriate
song. which was well received. This
was followed by a supper at Booths
hall, prepared by the post, which in adj
dition to the army skedule of the com
moner features, also comprised the
more fashionable and attractive dishes.
which are not included in the ordinary
bill Of soldiers fare.
The decorations bestowed upon the
halls were extensive, varied, and magni-
ficent. Notices, monograms, and every
conceivable device that could lend at.
traction was here presented, and the
vast display of flags which greeted the
eye on every side, served as a constxn,
reminder Of the anniversary Of the i'm
mortal Washington, and of the undyinl
patriotism that still prevailed in the
hearts of the people. The Grand Army
ball will be long remembered as one O
the most enjoyable social events eyel
witnessed in Custer.

A Remonstranca.

And now comes a remonstrance, sign
ed by nearly two hundred citizens OF
Buffalo Gap, who have thus signiied
their opposition to the incorporation OF
that terminal city. 1t is claimed that
the legal time was not observed in Civ
ing the notice Of election, and that the
call for the same vas made on Sunday.
1t is certainly a matter of surprise to lie
that only a single days notice should be
given, and we are inclined to- doubt
such an allegation, but can readily &C.
count for the call being made on Sun
day, by the fact Of there being nc
recognized sunday at the Gap.

matters are arranged. the Office will
doubtless be established. This Office,
being a point on the daily route now es-
tablished between Custer and Buffalo
Gap will, no doubt, be thus supplied
Service on tlse daily route referred to
will probably be put on about the 10th
of March. This route has been petit
toned for three different times by the
citizens Of Custer. Maps have been
gotten up showing the situation, and
forwarded to the department., and scores
of letters have been written to our
delegate in congress, and ether
influential Dakotaians in Washington,
and persistent and unceasing effort keI t
