Rev. DR.. Hoyt, Yankton's first and
one of its ablest divlnes, who because of
a life of arduous labor in church work
has become quite feeble and almost un-
able to nov about. gave to a large num-
Der OF Yankton's citizens q rare treat
yesterday in conducting services In
Christ church. DR.. Hoyt has been at
home in this city for two or more years
past and has only ventured out on
special occasions, his health not per-
hitting. Therefore an opportunity
given his many friends to hear him once
more in q place he fills so we'll was
taken advantage of by 30 many that the
large church was nearly filled. DIR,
Hoyt had prepared no sermon and after
reading the morning prayer gave a brief
address which was very interesting. This
venerable christian has a host of friendG
in Yankton who would be pleased te
hear him frequently. On Sunday next
Rev. W. H. Sparkling, of Schuyler, Ne
braska, will conduct services.
The returns demonstrate that during
the past two years each of the Dakota
counties containing the prominent cities
on the Missouri river above Yanktor
have lost voters, while the county which
contains Yankton has gained in voting
population. Brule county Chamberlain
shows a loss of 40 voters, Hughes coun
ty (Pierre) shows q loss of 1862, Burleigt
county (Bismarck) shows q loss of 191
while Yankton county (Yankton) shows
a gain OF 1919. An unhexible law of the
river is that progress shall be steadily
up stream, with no skips. From th,
mouth of the Missouri to Sioux City it
cities, one after the other, have taken Oh
a boom, grown and become strong ans
then the boom has moved on. Siou.
City is just finishing its period OF rapis
growth Next comes Yankton's turl
and in due course of time Chamberlain
will receive attention. After Chamber
lain will come Pierre and then Bismarck
In the meantime our up the river neigh
bors must expect to stand stiIl or 6,
backward, though they will rally ant
push ahead when the boom wave reache
them.
