YOUNG AMERICA IN GRENADA.

Yes-sir! Young America is here,
in full force, and we were foroibly re-
minded OF the fact few days since,
by seeing young Miss. aged about
twelve, pass along, escorted by a
youth of about fourteen. She was "A
little beauty, and in the sweet by and
by few years hence, will doubtlessly
cause many heart-ache among
the heauX of this vicinity, On the
occasion reterted to, she had evident
ly been off on visit up the road,
and came down on the l2:l5 train.
Her beau was apprised of her coming
aud was ut the depot, anXiously Y watt
ing her return. Her boarding house
was just beyond the public square,
from the depot, so we had ample sop-
portunity to observe them as they
preceded us. The young gentleman
was very polite and solicitous, aud
the little lady wore her newmarket
with the all the grace of full-tiedg-
belle, and was all smiles aud sweet
ness. They marched along with as
much dignity aud decorum as though
each of them were ten years Older,
titN oCCIhVN w VN
of things mundane, with
the exception of each ether. Well
we wish them all possible happiness;
though it does seem to us that children
are not altogether as childish in this
generation as they were when we
" ere growing up. But its all right
we hope. This is fast age, very
fast age and everything seems to us
to move faster than 1t used to. The
very nanus on Ihe ClOcK move rest-
er, and the older we grow, the faster
hey move. AT least that Is the way
it seemeth unto US, How is it with |

The Reunion.

To the Editor of the Advertiser:
We wish to call tho attention Of all
old soldiers to the fact that no triumphal
entry of the most renowned ever did
equal in moral grandeur that ovation of
the heart, which grateful community
will render you January 81, 1888. The
public respect and honor you. Not as
brave men, but as men brave in a noble
cause Not as the obedient followers Of
conquering hero, but as the self-pro-
NOTED heroes of many contested fields
Where the fate of your country was
sought to be decided, not as veterans Of
battlefelds alone, but as men who upon
all occasions reflected lustre upon the
name Of the state Of your origin. The
citizens of. Sturgis and elsewhere are
aware that when the tocsin tolled the
alarm throughout the land that the con
stitutional liberty erected by your faith
ers was in danger, you were among the
first to reach to arms and to face the
perils Of war. Not for any emolument
for yourselves, but in the noble endeav-
or to preserve for posterity those insti-
buttons which the wisdom of your ances-
tors provided for you. This was both
noble and heroic conduct, which IN all
times should attract the admiration and
secure the approving Judgment Of uni
versal mankind. b.

!. On Monday evening party of ladies,
with their fellows" took "a leap year
sleigh ride out to the ranch of Mr.. J. w.
Patterson in Pleasant Valley. After ar
irving at their destination they passed
an hour in progressive euchre, following
which they tried progressive eating
progressing. from sandwiches to cake
with the utmost case. Only one serious
accident occurred. A well known young
man, knight of the yard stick and tape,
after having been held in the sleigh for
half hour by his lady partner who had
a firm grip on his left ear, was heard to
give yell Of mortal agony, and after a
few wild clutches at vacant air, fell over
board striking snowbank with "dull
thud" on the back of his neck. In a few
moments he was righted, reloaded and
the procession moved on. Whether the
lady lost her grip on the auricular organ
or the ear pulled out we have been nm
able to ascertain. We will not say how
the party got home -but they reached
there just the same.

The First National BANK.

On January 10, the stockholders of the
First National bank of Sturgis held their
annual meeting and elected the follow
ing board of directors: w. r. Stebbins,
d. A. MCPHERSON, r. G. Lake, ). F.
Summers, Charles Francis, F. M. Allen,
W. E. Jones, III. E. Bailey and J. J.
Davenport. Mr.. Bailey was elected in
place Of Lit. J. d. Mann, formerly of TT.
Meade but recently transferred to TT.
Riley, Kansas, the management pre-
ferring resident director.
On the Goth the board of directors met
and reelected the old officers, viz: d.
A. MCPHERSON president, Charles Fran
els vice president, and }. J. Davenport
cashier. The business of the bank was
found to be IN a most satisfactory con-
dition, the undivided profits OF the six
months amounting to $4,039.72, or more
than s per cent on the capital stock OF
$4,000. The following disposition was
made Of the amount named: Added TO
the surplus, $1,000; stocks, bonds and
premiums, $370.40; real estate, furni-
ture and fixtures, S16s.44, after which
they passed a dividend Of per cent
amounting to $4,000, still leaving bal
ance of undivided profits on hand. This
u. =
is first class showing, and reflects much
credit not only on the directors them
selves, but on their able cashier, Mr..
Davenport, whose untiring efforts and
strict attention to business has made il
possible to present such evidence Of the
corporations prosperity
In the election Of Mr. Henry Z. Bailey
to the directorate, the bank has gained
one the best dnanciers Of the west and
one who, from long experience in inan-
cial circles, viii be Of great value te

| The other day Mr.. Eccles had drove
of hogs to weigh. The scales were COW
cred with a snow drift. He had the
snow shoveled off the platform, leaving
the sides and ends SO high that the
porkers could not get out, drove on the
hogs, and weighed them. 'sIt's an i'll

A sleigh load of Pennington's county,
legal and literary lights were stood on
their heads in snoWbank for few min
utes on Tuesday morning, near the toll
gate, by the inadvertent turning over
OF the sleigh. For moment, brief, abb
stracts OF title, newspapers and notices
for publication, filed the air, but every
thing was soon righted and the gentle
men walked into town il the wake Of the
team, which had started an informal 60
as-you-please towasds the city at the
occurrence of the catastrophe.
Free trade may not be put in force by
our far seeing government for long
time, but that makes no difference to us,
as Aanold & Meyer established free trade
with the citizens OF Sturgis and vicinity
a long time ago. Everybody is free TO
trade with them and almost receive their
groceries free If they do. They beliye
in free trade and small profits. Their
goods were brought here to sell and they
don't propose to keep them on hand to
look at.
A very pleasant progressive euchre
party was given by Mrs. H. 0. Anderson
to her friends, ON Saturday evening last.
Thirty-five guests were present, the first
prizes being taken by Mrs. John Mon
helm and Mr.. Potter, the "boobies'' be-
ing captured by Mrs. J. J. Davenport
and Mr.. N. L. Witcher. Refreshments
were served about 11.o'clock, which were
greatly enjoyed by all. After the rem
dition OF number of fine vocal and in
strumental selections the guests adj
jourEed, thanking Mr., and Mrs. Ander-
son for the many Inequalities shown.

THE SOLDIERS REUNION.
A Big Crowd Will Be In Attendance Much
Interest Manifested.

. II y s4t
Big Crowd Will Be In Attendance-Much
Interest Manifested.
The indications are that much larger
number of old soldiers are scattered
throughout the Black Hills than was
generally supposed. When the subject
Of a reunion was first talked over the
opinion prevailed among those interested
in the topic that but. few could be
brought together, but as the date sci
draws nearer, even those who where the
most sanguine are surprised at the mum
Der who express their intention to be
present. From all parts of the Hills
letters come pouring in, the writer's Of
which are enthusiastic and pleased at the
prospect of meeting once more
with their old comrades inarms. Capt
O. v. Gardner closes his letter to the
committee as follows: II earnestly hope
that every soldier in the Hills Of the late
war may be present, and that the pleas
ant recollections of this reunion may be
as a red letter day in all their future
lives"
Another prominent resident says: "It
makes me feel young again when ]
think of the prospect of again meeting
SO many Of the boys. cannot close
without expressing my thanks to those
who originated this movement. If I am
not there it will be because I cannot by
any means get there"
Many other letters might be given to
show how enthusiastic the ssboys'' are
over the prospect of once more meeting
to talk over the events of the momentous
years of their army life.
Thus far the work of entertaining
these men has devolved upon half doz-
en- men, and as there remains but a few
days between this and the 31st, it is
necessary that some steps should be
taken to make more elaborate prepare
tions than the committee will be able to
make alone. Sturgis' reputation for
hospitality should not be permitted to
suffer on this of all occasions. Let a
meeting of .citizens be called at once and
committee be appointed to cooperate
with the executive committee. Let It be
borne in mind that the reception which
these men receive on the 31st will go far
toward making Sturgis the place Of
meeting next summer when a grand
campfire of two days duration will be
held.
The ladies have already stepped to the
front and rendered their services in as
sisting to decorate the hall or doing any
thing they can to make the reunion
pleasant and successful.
