ANCIENT RECORDS.


fee at this place are as good reading as
a modern novel.
Record book GA" is a dilapidsted,
old-fashioned affair, with blue leaves
and faint, faded lines. It clearly sh'ws
a tough tussle with time and the moist
air of it's old place of residence-Enter-
prise.
Deeds are recorded in this old book
which, by the way, was presented to the
county "with the best wishes of HER
MAN G. GLEAsoN''-that were made as
far back as 1921. They were not record
ed, however, until 1866, at which time
the county was probably established.
The first instrument recorded was a
deed of trust from VIM. P. VANCE to j. &
S. P. RAvEND, of Charleston, on "the
following negro slaves, viz: NIMBLE,
RICHARD, FLORIDA, DRUcILLA and infant,
ROSE and her child JUDY, CAIN, PETER,
BEN, SUKEY, LITTLE JOE, HARRIET and
child CHUBBY" and several dozen others.
The mortgage was given to secure the
payment of an eight thousand dollar
note. The next thing on record is mort
gage from the same party on 995 acres
of the Dunlawton tract, sugar mill, corn
mill, buildings, etc, to secure the pay
ment of three thousand dollar note.
The first warranty deed recorded is
one given in 1855 by H. H. WILLIAMS
to H. G. GLEAs"N, on a tract of land in
Enterprise. Consideration $500.
The next record shows that Il, DAN

the holy bonds of matrimony with one

sessed in her own right of certain negro
property, to wit:

Alice, negro girl aged 6,
SambO negro boy, aged 2,
Elmira negro girl, aged 10,
And half OF Polly, negro girl, aged l8
'The title of which forever relinquish
to my future wife,"
The first mention made in the record
book of the Confederate States is in F. b.
ruary 1852 when William Carter 'for
and in consideration of the love and af-
lection that he has toward his wife, as
we'll as in consideration OF one dollar
lawful money of the Confederate States
of America deeds to his wife tract of
land and several negro slaves.
About this time the record book
showed that there was quite lively
transfer of property from husband to
wife and from father to children, per-
haps for the purpose of preventing con-
fiscation.
The word current money of the United
States of America does not again appear
in the record book until September 1865,
when G. D. Luckbon deeds a tract of
land to J. M Hawks, for five hundred
dollars, "curent money of the United
States"
Only 336 pages of the book are required
to record the transaction of the county
of every character from 1856 TO 1867. In
1857 on the 337th page W. S. Thayer,
clerk, makes the following note.
'The following IA pages were blank

Another Alexander selkirk.

Professor Lee, of Bowdoin college, who ac-
companied the Albatross expedition as q
naturalist, tells Of a curious experience in the
South Pacific ocean. Years ago the Ecuador
government planted convict colony on
Charles Island, one of the Galapagos group.
The convicts revolted, killed the governor
and escaped, leaving behind pigs, cattle,
donkeys and horses Since that time no one
was thought to live there, and at Chatham
Island, another Of the group, the Albatross
party were told that Charles Island was en-
tirely deserted. They were, therefore, rather
surprised when they visited Charles Island to
come upon man nearly naked, carrying q
pig on his back He was quite as surprised
as they, and was at first in great fear; but
finally they got him to talk. His hair and
beard had grown to great length, and he had
lost all notion Of time He said that some
years before he had come from Chatham
Island with party in search of certain
valuable moss; that he bad deserted his COM
panions, who had gone of without him, and
that since that time he had been alone on the
island He had lived on fruits and herbs;
had captured wild cattle by setting traps for
them; killed them with spear made by
tying his pocket knife to stick, and from
their hides made a hut He was glad to rec
men again, and asked to be taken back to
Chatham, which was granted, of coursa-
New York Sun.

A Flood of Free Tickets.

More than one manager says that he can
trace months of bad business in his establish
ment to the demoralising effect of flood of
free tickets issued even by another house.
Managers come to New York knowing per-
fectly well that the companies and the plays
they have in hand will fail utterly in the
city; but the loss incident to a fortnight here
is expected and paid for, for the sake of the
advertisement or send off it will give the
company in country towns. Therefore the
only idea of the manager who takes metro
politan theatre for this purpose is to present
for two weeks an appearance of success, and
to achieve this the town is flooded with free
tickets and an attempt is made to crowd the
house every night, even though the actual
receipts may not pay for the gas. The man
ager will be able to announce in the country
press that for two weeks people were turned
away at the doors of the New York theatre
in which his wonderful company played.
So well known has this need of country
managers for large city audiences become
that there are several persons here who make
business Of providing audiences These
persons know where they can give away 400
or 500 tickets SO as to make sure of an au-
dience of people who look as if they had paid
for their seats. Several of the large dry
goods shops are always ready to receive
theatre tickets for distribution among their
clerks, and the manager who resorts tc such
wholesale "papering" is perfectly Indifferent
as to the injurious effects this policy may
have upon other theatres dependent upon
actual receipts. That this effect is injurious
cannot be doubted.-Philip j. Hubert in The
Epoch

The Mandan Pioneer contains the fol-
owing very sensible editorial:

The farmers are reported as desiring to
abolish the office OF commissioner of lmmi-
grafton. 1t is difficult to see why they
want this. II there is All officer who is cap
able OF earning his money, it is a good
commissioner OF immigration. There has
been no inefficiency iii the office since it
was established. There are no complaints
as to this. The farmers are benefited as
greatly by the Office, and it's successful
working,, as anybody-more than good
many folks. 1t the increase OF imnigra-
tion into the country that makes the farm
ers's farm worth more to-day than it was
yesterday. 1t is an increase of immigra-
ton, and an increase of farmers that inl-
proves the home market for farm produce.
The farming business just works that way.
The more Of them there are in the locality,
the better for those there. There is no
more important office than this. Abolish
the office Of governor, auditor, treasurer,
it you will, but keep the commissioner Of
Immigration and pay his salary by popular
SUBSCRIPTION when your treasurer and
auditor are gone.

lature does not approve of this plan he
will submit an alternate scheme provid-
ing for a territorial board of auditors
with power to audit all accounts and dis
allow any bill or part thereof that they
may deem just and proper. Governor
Church is right. Such measure was sug-
gested by Ex-Governor Pierce in his last
annual message, and the Hon. e. A. Will
Gams got such bill through the lower
house, but it failed to come to light in
the upper house.

THE NEW "NoRrH DAKOTA.

The friends of division and admission
had much better give attention to tie
name of the new state than to be in
venting side issues to divide their friends.
The thoughtless agitation and the weak
and damaging reasons given for changing
the name of the proposed state of North
Dakota has done much to weaken the
cause and the sooner that kind of non
sense is discontinued the better.
Mr.. Garrick Mallory of the Bureau of
ethnology, Washington, has written Con-
gresham Springer a letter in which he
suggests names for the two Dakotas. 10
quote from his letter he says:
Two words purely Dakotan seem to have
euphony and poctical merit. One is
Winona. the name given TO ;he first born
child Of Il Dakota woman provided that the
first born is a female. An objection tu the
use Of that term is that. 1T is appropriated
by a town we'll known in Minnesota. The
other word is Tatonka, translated Buffalo,
involving tile idea OF the land OF the buffalo,
which is appropriate to the region. The
term which recommend is strictly of eth
nOlogic accuracy for the region. 1t is Sa !.
nOna This is the old and correct form for
the larger part of the DakOtan stock which
had its pristine home in that part of the
territory. 1t appears in Lewis and Clark
under the laundering forms OF Sahole and
Saone, and in one Indian treaties as Sioune
and comprehends the majority Of the great
body now popularly spelled Titon and
Teton, but correctly Titonwan. The last
expression might be used, but it is not 50
euphonious as Sanona, which means sub
stantially the same-that is the title OF the
Indians. WHO actually were the predeces-
sOrs Of the whites in the locality under con-
sideratiOn.
A Washington correspondent says that
Mr.. Springer will urge the changing of
the name of South Dakota to that of Wi
mona. He is in favor of the name of Da-
kota to be applied to the northern state,
as the name is known the world over in
connection with the superior quality of
wheat, which does duty as trade mark,
and in Northern Dakota is where the
wheat is mostly grown.

JOHN WANAMAKER would be a good
representative of the workingmen of this
country in Harrison's cabinet. Profit
sharing with the employees has place in
his great Philadelphia house. Wana-
maker says he adopted the plan because
it is right. He commenced the expert
ment on Good Friday, April 8, 1887, and
it is now pronounced success in every
particular He has also a pension roll
for those who become sick or disabled
while in the service of the house. He has
what is termed the seven year roll, en-
ployes in continuous service for seven
years, that numbers 300. Last year there
were over $4,000 distributed to this
class. In the sales department there
were 1900 employees last year. The
profits distributed in this department
were $4,000.

The Cleveland Leader of a recent date.
in a leading editorial on the Dakota
question, says:
Dakota has one delegate to congress who
cannot say word in her behalf. Dakota
cast @ 66'sS2 votes for him in 1886, and 37,S79
10000 voters now. Georgia has ten rep
resentatives in congress for whom only
25,47O votes were cast and only 1850 against
about one-sixth the present vote Of Da-
kota. And yet every one of these ter,
Georgia Representatives voted against the ad-
mission of dakota to the union! 1t is
ny such unjust and revolutionary policy
that the democratic party seeks to main
tain itself in power

After Being snubbetl BY Publishers He

Mr. A. c. Gunter, who wrote the novel,
"Mr. Barnes of New York, took 1t in manu-
script to nearly all ths leading publishers in
New York, and every one of them refused to

lieve it would sell. Here comes an old moral
lit has been pointed ever since Ulysses wan
dered and Wallace starved Mr. Gunter,
stung by disappointment, instead of being
staggered went to work, organized his own
publishing company, with no other purpose
than to get his book before the world,
printed and distributed it himself, and in an
Incredibly short time the book attained cir
culation exceeding anything of the kind ever
known here i'll the publishing business.
Twas talking with Mr.. Gunter the other
night, and some of the details of his exploit
are exceedingly interesting, now that the
story has been put upon the stage and every
third woman in the land is writing novels
and on her knees to the publishers.
He said that when he got his book
printed his first struggles to get it into
the trade were herculean and even more
discouraging than his attempts to get it pub
llshed. BY superhuman efforts he got the
American News company to put GOO on sale.
MIR. z. i. Dillingham; took $50 under protest,
and Brentano said that Mr.. Gunter's
personal friends would probably buy
hundred. In about five weeks the
orders began to come in, and one day the
American News company, under the impress
sion that Mr. Gunter had not printed more
than 1000 copies, sent an order for all the
books he had He replied nv sending them
7,OOO copies, to their utter amazement. In
two weeks they wanted 10000 more
Then was established what Mr. Gunter
calls his publishing company, which SO far
has been confined in its labors to supplying
the public with Mr.. Gunter's two books, ''Mr.
Barnes, of New Pork" and s'Mr. Potter, Of
Texas" The total sales of sMr. Barnes, of
New York." up to date have been 100000
copies. The sales of "Mr. Potter" have
reached 100000 copies. A more remarkable
instance Of the writing worm turning and
stinging was never known.
"Mr: Barnes has been translated into
German, French and English There are
seven pirated editions Of it in London, every
one of which have seen, and Cassell & Co.,
who refused to take Mr.. Gunters manuscript,
published the story afterwards in serial
form in their magazine without his leave.
All this is notable, the more so, perhaps,
because the American newspapers have re-
peatedly called attention to the fact that the
last work of NJ. lola reached the enormous
edition of $4,000 copies. The result of the
publishers refusal to accept MI. Gunter's
story is that Mr.. Gunter will make something
like $100,000.-Nym Crinkle in New York

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Happy New Year is only second to
Merry Christmas in the world of good
fellowship. With less than the retro
spective eye of a sage we can see that our
hindsight is better than our foresight,
but the experience of 1883 will not save
us from the mistakes of 1889. We must
have experience. We cannot trust the
experience of the experienced. We must
experience it and experience in one direc-
ton seems to be of little use in new
shoot. We can teach the lessons of ex-
perience until we are red, but the first
thing we know thousand stupid men,
women and children have rejected our
teachings and crossed the river of grief.
We can moralize all we please this morn
ing and never hear of it. Man is a per-
vene creature. He will never learn by
observation that fire will burn, or that
Ton and Jerry is a delusion and snare.
AS Chief Joseph once said on an inter-
esting occasion to the great Nez Peace,
he will not even learn to tell the truth.
A revere over the old year recalls some
local changes. It has not, however, been
an unhappy one for our people as peo-
pie. 1t has been an even year. There
has not been much to boom on, but there
has been something to justify congratu,
lations. Retrospection may not be salts
factory to the speculator, or the man of
wits, but it should not be painful to the
honest plodder-the grand average of
humanity. He has got on, free of dis
tress and disease. To him the New Year
is full of hope and in all probability a
little golden compensation will reward
his modest toll. As for Bismarck she is
a city of the future. The index finger of
destiny points to this location as COM
pretending within itself all the elements
of a commercial center. It may not be
realized in 1889 or 1890 but in the grow
ing decade of 189O-19OO we will know
what it is to have an abiding faith in the
laws to build cities. Patience! We will
get there.

Two Kinds Of Aristocracy,

1have nothing against aristocracy il it bs
of temporary sort We need more or leas
imitation to make us rise and despise low
habits. But when you get permanent aris-
tocracy, hereditary in its nature and struc-
ture, you have created a serious piece Of mis-
chief. An aristocrat whose father made
shoes, as mine did, is a very useful fellow.
He brushes up, builds fine house and edu-
Gates his children. He is patron of art and
schools, and sympathizes with other people
But an aristocrat whose ancestor was made
such by William the Conqueror is different
and patroni2es the people too. He is MEM
ber Of class. Society, by such aristocracy,
is divided into two diverging sections. IN.

The Fargo Republican presents the
name of Smith Stimmel as good man
to preside over the territorial council.
He was ten years a lawyer of Cincinnati;
one OF the men who started Governor
Foraker on his political career, and big
wheat farmer since he came to Dakota in
