Oelrichs, S. D., March 10, 1891.
Monday was a pleasant day here
and the farmers were we'll repre-
sented in town. The topic Of con-
versation was seed wheat. After
hearing letter read from Rep.
GODDARD, the remarks were not the
most pleasing to listen to. The
hope that something might be
brought about so that they could
get seed and feed, seems to be
blasted and with it their hearts
seem to sink within them. While
Nebraska has provided seed and
feed for her needy people and the
l. O. o. F. has provided for its
members, and bonds could be vo-
ted for $4,000 court house, but
not one cent to help the drought
stricken sufferers of the south part
of the county, is enough to call out
some remarks not pleasant to a
man who wishes to make his home
in the agricultural parts of Fall
River county. 1t looks as though
we might lose some of our citizens
this spring under such circumstan-
ces. Allow me to say that the
clouds may be ever 50 black and
thick, the sun will come out and
shine as bright and warm, and veg
itation will grow, and we will for
get that the clouds was dark and
threatening. Now if we can't get
wheat to SOW, plant corn and veg
etables and we can find a market
i'll the Hills, or some where for
every pound of stuff you can raise.
Oliver Crudson and father came
back to their farm, west OF town,
Monday with their teams and
farming implements. Mr. Crudson
was heard to say that he preferred
Dakota to Iowa. 1t is reported
that several more families will
come back this spring.
If we can stay by the land and
work it for few years it will re-
turn in an hundred fold, and we will
have as good homes as in Iowa or
any other state.
! am happy to be able to state
to the needy farmers of this county
that the commissioners of Fall
River county are making arrange
ments to supply them with all kind
of seed by the 9th of April that
is wanted to SOW and plant. The
good Lord bless the commissioners
and may this seed return an
hundred fold. Cheer up farmers
we will have good crops this year.
No mail today, March II.
Think of the snow covered Ne
braska-tlent think of our own beau
tiful county.
The Hills papers want to scgre-
gate from the state of Dakota and be
annexed to Wyoming. The reason
is very plain. They may disguise
it as they please. Every school
boy knows what is the matter Will,
the upper part of the Hills, or
some of the would be bosses.
Mr.. John Hunts daughter was
was married last Sunday to Mister
Maligol who has just come out Of
the army and has been quite alck
at MIR. Hunts for several weeks.
The legislature has adjourned.
Perhaps it is just as well.
Our young people had very
ENJOYABLE time the other evening
over at Judd's, north of town. 1,
was judged so by the noise they
made coming homc--or when they
got to their boarding place. They
have a right to have good time
and be happy. SuRyc.
