REFORE THE TOME.

Here in Gods peace she lies,
Death misted hazel eyes
Closed in fast sleep.
See how the sunbeams fair
Smile DER her brow and hair,
Crossed her cold hands in prayer;
Well may we weep.
She Is so young TO lay
In the dark grave away
Oh. Death is king today!
Hush. and be stilll
Close the lid over her.
Let the grass cover her;
This Is Gods will.
A fool always finds some one more
foolish than he to admire him.

The common cat-tail, found growing
in low lands, Is not only ornamental but
useful. In conversation with an old lady
thu other day and talking about burns and
sca.ds, she said no better remedy could be
found than the cat-tail. She said: Take
the down and with just enough lard to hold
il together make plaster and lay upon
any burn, and II soothes and heals SO soon
that II seems like a miracle. Put upon a

When the "cats are away the mice

aud Mrs. Spears in the country attend

-Blrney Moore, We printers devil, on
Monday last, received an announce
ment that the Capital Investment
Company had decided to move its
headquarters to Pierre, and straight
way 1t became imperative shat he
should go to Woonsocket ere said
headquarters were removed. What
has the Capital Investment Company
got to do with his happiness? Has he
interests in that organization?
"A petition will be circulated next
week asking the county commissioners
to call a special election to vote on the
question of levying tax to aid in the
construction of a railroad through
Jerauld county. 1t requires petition
containing the names of majority
Of theresidents Of the township asking
for the election, before the commits
sioners are required to call the election.
Every tax payer should understand
that not cent of the tax that may be
voted can be collected until the road
is complete and in operation, and trains
running. Give the II. e. s. BIB. Ry.
Co. encouragement and support by
signing the petition. 1t will save you
many Il long weary drive to market.
-Nurrah The Capital Investment
Company has made its investment at
Pierre. This will insure the location
of the Capital either at Washington
Springs or Pierre. Our neighbors to
the east who have capital aspirations
are stared in the face with fact that
unless they unite and select neutral
ground for which all can work, that
Pierre will secure the capital. Wess-
ington Springs has not been in the race
for capital honors, hence is a place to
which none would object. The cities
in the capital race sent their represent
tatives to Aberdeen Tuesday to discuss
the situation. Ifthey agreeto all work
for Washington Springs then she will
go into the combine, if not she will
probably return to her first love.
