The many readers Of this paper who
have purchased seeds of F. N. Lang. the
Live Scotsman Of Baraboo, Wis, will
be pleased to learn Of his recent elec-
ton to the mayorship of the city. Mr..
Lang is, we believe. the youngest man
ever elected to that important position
in the state, and although but 80 years
Of age, has proved himself TO be a man
of sterling integrity, indomitable will,
and IN earnest widewake business man.
BY his energy and square dealing he
has established in this northwestern
country a seed business of which all
should be proud, and he should, and
has received the hearty support of our
northern formers and gardeners to such
an extent that he will the coming win.
ter issue q hundred thousand catalogues
which viii be distributed g~ratuitously
to all who apply. The confidence re-
posed in him by his fellow citizens in
electing him to the office of mayor, is
positive evidence that he bears the same
reputation at home that he does abroad,
and persons wishing live northern seeds
cannot do better than to secure them
from him.

DENVER, CoL., April 81, 1886.
EDITOR CUSTER CHRoNIcLR:- - have
seen nothing in the newspapers for the
past six months that has given me so
much genuine pleasure as your editorial
In your last weeks issue, headed "Cus
ter Talk" That is the way TO talk, and
l am glad to see that your citizens are
beginning to realize that fact, that if
they eve hope to make of Custer a
town Of any considerable size or promi-
hence, they themselves must take some
interest in its welfare, enough at least to
advertise its many different induce
ments to others to come there and locate,
to build up a business and establish a
home for life. There are, in my esti-
nation, sufficient within a
radius of fifteen miles Of Custer, when
properly developed. to support a city
Of from $4,000 to 10000 inhabitants, and
You mark my prediction now, which is
that before 1885 is past her population
will double itself, and before New Years
day, 1888, it will double itself again, and
before ten years is past there will be be-
tween $1,000 and 10000 people there,
living in happy homes and contented
with their lot, a great number Of whom
will realize handsome fortunes from tin
and other mineral resources.
Another good evidence to my mind at
least Of the increased prosperity of the
place is shown in the increased size and
appearance of the CHRONICLE, that of it.
self speaks volumes in your favor, and
before another year is past l hope to be
a subscriber to a thriving, pashing Daily
CHRONICLE, issued from your office.
In my travels around the country |
have found in a number of the different
railroad Offices, hundreds of copies of a
little pamphlet gotten up in the interest
of Rapid City entirely. 1t is we'll ar
ranged, and will do its work, and the
people of Rapid City deserve credit for
their energy as shown in its issue. But
that does not help Custer to any great
extent, and my advise to you now is 10
stir up the matter there in Custer get
the citizens to make just such another
effort and get out a pamphlet of from
twenty to forty pages, setting forth al
of your varied resources, and get about
10000 of them printed in a neat form,
and then have them properly distribut-
ed throughout the United States and
Europe, and my belief is that in less
time than l have given, my predictions
will be fulfilled.
/ don't know of a more delightful
place in the Hills for the location of Il
large city than Custer. You already
have good schools, churches, and good
society, a more hospitable and generous
class of people l have never met any
where You have the best water, the
most wonderful mineral resources,
purer air, the finest scenery, and more
Of it to the acre than any place in
Christendom, and all YOU require to
make a large city there, Is to let the
world at large know these facts. You
can only do it by a judicious investment
Of q few hundred dollars in the matter
Of advertising your place.
l hope to be with you again very soon,
and / propose to make my home there
for years TO come.
Very respectfully,

JEFF Davis Montgomery speech has
furnished a very fruitful theme for
newspaper comment in all parts Of the
Union. A number of Southern journals
censure it, while it is universally con-
demned in the north. The Vicksburg.
Miss, Commercial Herald in comment
ing on it says:
Jefferson Davis is not of the new
South he is of the old South. He SAID
things at Montgomery that would have
been better unsaid, and did not say
things which he, Of all men, ought to
have said"
While it is extremely doubtful hat
any considerable number Of the south
ern people entertain disloyal sentiments.
their loyalty to JEFF Davis would now
seem unquestionable. JEFF Davis at
Montgomery in SO, was not unlike JEFF
Davis at Montgomery in 81, his convic-
tions are unchanged, he has not imbibed
to any extent the spirit Of the new
South, but still frets, fumes, and chafes
under the fancied extirpation Of south
ern liberty, and in view of increasing
the present degree Of harmony which
now prevails between the sections, it
would be acting the part of wisdom in
the future to discourage, by every
reasonable method, all further public
efforts on Lis part to convince the peo-
pie Of The South of the responsibility of
treason.

The Apaches are still indulging in
their fayorite pastime Of numbering and
scalping white settlers in Arizona, more
than forty persons having been reported
murdered in that territory in the past
month. Gen Miles has taken the field,
and it is by nc mesns probable hat in
the event of the recapture Of Geronimo
and his murderous band that they will
be permitted to again escape, and furth-
er engage in the cherished luxury of
scalp-lifting in that region. which has
now become %proverbial for Indian de-
predations.

Custer City claims as reported ver-
bally, that Rapid City is stealing its
thunder on the tin question, that il is
and should remain the city of tin dis
tricts, and folks down here should not
boom too much On the strength of that
metal. Isn't there thunder enough to
go all around? Ii isn't necessary for
Rapid City to detract from the other
cities, and the building up of a great
city here would not interfere with the
growth of mining cities in the Hills,
where the mines are such as to warrant
them. 1t is just sucn places up in the
Hills that would support a city at their
feet. If Custer is favorably located with
regard tn the tin mines AS they are fin
ally developed, she will reap a rich
harvest Of prosperity from them regard.
less of Rapid City's benefits from the
same source. There is no conflict Of in
terests between the commercial and the
mining city.-Journal.
Custer City don't claim any such
thing. Custer City is willing, and even
anxious, to have Rapid City assist us in
giving publicity to our unparalleled tin
resources, and 1t is an undeniable fact
that Rapid has never done anything
that has caused so much favorable CON-
ment in this city as what she has done
in this direction. We sincerely hope that
she may continue the good work, and We
are also perfectly willing for her to
claim all the advantages arising from
the successful issue Of our tin enter
prises, knowing that in time all things
will be adjusted to their proper level, and
that the tide of our prosperity can not
be diverted from its natural channel
through the prejudical medium of a
Rapid faber.
