The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1891-10-16

A. B. Story, Of Kilbourn township. and
one OF the early settlers in the county,
mas made arrangements to sell his farm
and 90 to northern Nebraska. This
move is made necessary by the i'll health
Of his father, who is in advanced years
and requires his sons assistance in the
settlement OF his business affairs ii anti
cipahon OF the final summons. The
departure Of 4 b. from Grant county is
not only regretted by his nei9hbors in
Kilb9urn but by host OF sriendstnrough
out the county who have long felt that
story was one OF the fixtures in this To-
calitv. The klndliest feelings OF all will
accompany him to his new home.
We are in receipt Of a card announcing
the marriage of Mr.. Frank A. hIdFed9e
and Miss Nora Genevieve Towle, to
take place at st Mary's church in St
Paul on the 2Sth inst Frank was one OF
the old timers in Big Stone, and is one
Of the last members Of the cid bachelor
clubthat was organized early IN the 'ols
for mutual protection and consolation,
but whose raaks have been so sadly
depleted ~ individual surrenders to the
willy enemy one after another, that
there is now hardly flower remaining
in what was once a beautiful bouquet Of
ma,riagable young dudes, with no
thought but to remain true to their
bachelor vows. Franks many friends at
his old Dakota home tender Their con-
gratulations on the coming event ana
wish him many days anc continuous
happiness in his welded life.
4 cowhiding, Ii which an editor anu
an ey-editor figure as stars, took place IN
0rtonyille last week. We regret to see
The boys engage in this kind OF sport.
It's setting a bad example and estab-
lishiar precedent which a misguided
and preindieed public will not be slow
to follow. The inclination to thresh the
editor is innate in the human breast, ana
il needs but little encouragement 20
blossom and bear fruit that IS extreme
II dis.astefal to al nervously inclined
members ofthe profession, who are nn-
able fo stand the strain OF severe physl-
cal punishment every time they appear
nnon the street The boys should Try
and bear with one arother.s Weakness
es. a. few editors are permanently re-
formed hy cowhidng, and the exercise
necessary tor this pastime is rot always
conducive to good heath.
