The uncalled for remarks of the ssCas-
ual Observer" in the Rapid Republican,
concerning Judge Thomas were little
too severe, and do not meet the approval
of the citizens Of Sturgis who have the
pleasure of a personal acquaintance with
his honor
The Tilford Times still continues to

L. M. Bitney desires his friends-and
strangers also-to know that he is pre-
pared at any and all times to attend to

Main street in this city. He will give
the best Of satisfaction, and charges will
always be reasonable. Try him and see.
Young ladies in Sturgis desiring to
marry must be decidedly scarce, Judging
from the following advertisement insert
ed in one the so-called matrimonial

feet tall, weigh IT'S, of fair complexion;
feel lonesome. Ladies of suitable age
please write soon and oblige. Box -
Sturgis, Solth Dakota" We hope the
young ladies Of Sturgis have not allowed
anything like the above to slip out OF
their grasp.
The ADVERTISER has been spoken to
several times Of late by citizens Of this
city in regard to the enforcing Of the
stock ordinance. The ordinance has been
suspended for some time past for salts
factory reasons set forth before the old
board. Why an ordinance OF some sort
regulating the running Of stock in the
city should not be enforced we fail to
see. IT is not very pleasant for prop
erty owner to spend q large sum OF mon
ey in the building Of q sidewalk and then
have an able-bodied COW come along and
make a first-class barn yard Of il. Meth
er does one care TO have sidewalk brok-
en- up and splintered BY wandering herds
Of horses or other animals. We would
call the attention OF the new council to
the matter and invite their early action
in the premises.
