Ranchers, stock-raisers and big cattle
outfits all trade with Sparks. The rea-
son is obvious. The best groceries at
the lowest prices catch them. They
know good thing when they see it.
Hence the result.

proved French pot, pronounced it the

w. F. Fitch, general manager of the
Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic road,
visited Deadwood yesterday in his pri-
vate car. On the same train was at
tached the car of Ell. G. Burt, general
manager of the F., e. & NJ ", contain
ing Messrs Burt, Harris, Hall, Aims
worth and other railway msgnates. The
object of the visit of these officials had
no special significance.
Stores that give the best bargains,
best goods and best treatment are the
ones that get away with the baggage
these days. This accounts for the trade
Sparks, the grocer, succeeds in getting
and holding.
! County Treasurer Flood came near
losing his life Friday afternoon in alight.
ing from the east-bound express train az
it left the station at Sturgis. In Jump
ing from the car he came in contact with
the baggage truck and was thrown be.
tween the platform and moving train
and only for the death-like grip that he
had on the car railing he would have
been drawn underneath the wheels. HI
hung on until clear of the platform ther
fell to the ground badly bruised, anG
exhausted. Mr.. Flood was confined t.
his room until Monday.
, Bids will be opened next Thursday a
| Ft. Meade for supplying that post thu
| ensuing year with wood, grain, ETC., anG
it is sincerely hoped that whoever thu
successful bidders may be they will de
rive some profits from the business in
: stead of losing heavily as many of then
have in times past. This cold world hal
but little sympathy for any man tina
sinks his hard-earned wealth in working
for a rich government at loss for th,
sake of keeping someone from securing
, the contract at profit. Ft. Mead,
! should be made a source of revenue t,
. the farmers of the county and the mer
: chants Of Sturgis instead of burden t,
them.
