We call attention to the anec-
dote that Tracy Bros, have in this
issue. AS will be seen these gentle

The progressive euchrc party
at the residence of ". W. Seyery,
last Thursday evening, was most
pleasant and enjoyable affair. The
genial host and hostess made their
guests feel that the, came there to
enjoy themselves and they did not
fail to meet the wishes of their en-
tertancrs, especially when the ele-
CANT lunch was served. Such as
semblagcs are green spots in the
oasis of life, and renders it worth
the living.
MIR. Julian Bennett, who made
lis a most welcome call last week,
has located permanently in Bristol
in the law, land and loan business.
Mr.. Bennett was formerly a law
partner of Gov. Mellette, at Water
town, and is generally regarded in
COdington county as thoroughly
able and skillful lawyer. If you
have law suit, want to borrow
money or buy farm, you will find
him able to satisfactorily meet your
wants at all times. See card.
A week or two ago we spoke of
the opportunity offered to secure a
steam Touring mill here and of the
method to be employed to secure it.
Up to the present writing we have
not heard of anything being done
in the matter. Surely it is of suii3-
cient importance to claim the atten-
tion and action of every citizen at
all interested in our progress. No
one questions the advantages a mill
will bring to our business as well as
every other interest. Why, then,
has nothing been done in this mat
ter: Shall We hear something drop
soon: Can't You get there? What's |
the matter anyhow?

We understand that it IS proposed
By the society to hold their next
meeting on the grounds named in
above proceedings--which all will
agree is sensible thing to do.
In California they have struck
the thing that prevents smut in
wheat. They put the grain into
solution Of vitrol before planting
which absolutely eliminates hil smut
from the growing wheat and pro-

this, their greatest enemy. A
thorough test has been made with
/ the result we have named above.
BaCslcy & Cargle have . eau load
which thay viii sell to farmers at
actual cost and furnish them with
full directions as to the manner Of
using it, If You intend to SOW soft
wheat, by all means get some of this

On Monday our citizens were
startled with the report that ii man
