Grass growing at fearful rate.
 E. B. returned to his post last Sunday.
 Mir. Will Phillips returned to his post the latter part of last week.
 Great fears are entertained for the early mllet crop-too much rain.
 The election passed off quietly. Sorry to say that the people didn't seem to take interest enough.
 Mir. Chas. Leanders has bought the store-house, with entire stock therein, of Mir. C. B. Andrews.
 The 4th was quiet day here. Everybody steyed at home and kept sober-not a drunk man in town.
 Miss Narcissa Gill, of Prescott, has been spending several days with her sister, Mrs. l.. H. McSwan.
 Your scribe has had sick spell, but is better at present writing, and don't feel like writing at all, but want to comply with promise.
 A genuine fraud, calling himself Prof. Duvall, hailing from Missouri, struck this town last week but failed to get in his work. Look out for him. He claims to be juggler, and exposer of spiritualism. He is wanted here to settle little board bill.

loomis' Mill.

The health of our little community is fairly good.
 Mir. Loomis has taken out his old engine and is putting in new forty horse power engine-and then stand from under and see the lumber fly
 A colored female, perfect terror in manner and voice, wife of one of the workmen, created stampede among the little boys the other even ! ing. and because the men laughed she went into such frenzy of anger that she kneeled down and scratched the ground, possibly supplicating the aid of a demon supposed to in- habit warmer climate than this, or it may be a new way of giving emphasis to language. Such a scene would be amusing, only it is so in- tensely disgusting.
 As you know, last week was a rainy, disagreeable one and n poor time to enjoy national holiday, but where there's a will there is usually a way, and so on Saturday, the 9th, nearly all the families here took their celebration in the natural park above the mill. The men had erected a substantial table in the shade, and at the proper time the ladies came forward and spread It full of the sub stantials as well as many of the deli cacies of life, and, to put it mildly, will say that everybody, old as well as young, seemed to enjoy the occas ion to the fullest extent. A day spent in this way occasionally is a relief from the everyday cares of life and pleasure we all enjoy.
 l wish some one could tell us why Mir. Let Loomis goes across the old field so often, in the direction of Mir. Hawkins unless he is hunting onions or black berries. Possibly Miss Alice could inform us. LONGFELLow.

 How sad it was to be deprived of attending some one of the gatherings on the 4th, but such was the case with your writer. A sick child kept me at home on that day. A goodly number from this community went to Holly Springs, four miles east Of here, where they were entertained by Prof. G. w. l.. Kanawa's juvenile band of speakers and others, who acquitted themselves nobly, learn.
 Taking all things into account, no community has better class of citi- zens than Bodcaw. They respond cheerfully to any call for aid in any enterprise of the community. A bill has been furnished MT. A. B. Pick ard. who will at once saw lumber for the extension and completion of Bodcaw Academy. Although we have had opposition we feel encour- aged that in every effort we have made success has perched itself on our banner.

Grass growing at fearful rate. E. B. returned to his post last SupIav
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1889-05-10

One of the latest capital arguments
advanced by Sioux Falls is that ga man
may take breakfast in Yankton, reach
Sioux Falls by noon, take dinner here,
do his business, leave the same after
noon and take supper at home" But
we don't all live in Yankton by long
shot. A man going from Mitchell
would haye to stay all night in Sioux
Falls to do any business there and he
would have to get up mighty early in
the morning or else wait there twenty
four hours, while a Sioux Falls man
can take breakfast at home, get tdinner
and do business in Mitchell before two
O'clock and get to Chamberlain, ADer-
8deen, Pierre, Redlield, Yankton or
& Huron in time for supper.
81, Still the present railroad schedules
are not the best foundation for capital
arguments. 1t is the actual railroad
connections that count and with her
present facilities Mitchell can arrange
o schedule which will put her within
eight hours Of the most remote part of
Dakota east of the Missouri; while in
side of a year she will be not over
fifteen hours from the Black Hills.
Fellow-citiZens of South Dakota,
study these facts carefully in connec-
tion with your map and railroad time
