DECORATION DAY.


On Tuesday last the citizens of
Elk Point and surrounding country
did themselves proud in the obser-
vance of Decoration day. The
weather was nearly all that could
be asked, and had it not been for a
south wind which at times stirred
up clouds OF dust the day up to six
O'Clock in the evening would have
been perfect. During the forenoon
people from the country began COM
ing to the city, and by the time the
procession was ready to start for the
cemetery the main streets were
filled.
AT about 1880 the procession
formed in Main street opposite the
court house square, and was lead by
the Elk Point cornet band. The
music furnished was not only we'll
rendered, but the selections were APP
propriate tor the occasion. Follow
ing the band was Co. d. in COM
mand OF Lieut.. Jameson. The gem
eral formation of the column and
line of march was as published in
the COURIER last week.
At the cemetery the exercises were
solemn and impressive, q fitting re-
membrance Of the heroic dead who
sleep there. After the usual excr-
cises, the decorating committee OF
little girls in charge Of Mrs. d. +.
Knapp visited each grave where an
old soldier lay, aud tenderly placed
flowers on the mound. At the con-
clussion of this solemn service a
squad of Co. d. fred three volleys,
the male quartette sang an appro-
pirate selection, the procession re-
formed aud marched to the Metho-
dist church to listen to the memo
rial address delivered by Rev. A.. NJ.
Pipes.
The address of Rev. Pipes was an
eloquent and patriotic discussion.
1t was replete with beautiful
thoughts touching the heroism of
those who went to the front when
this nation was in danger, and what
we owe to the living and the dead.
The address throughout was well
worth hearing, and has left a good
and wholesome impression.
Taken as a whole the day was the
most successful of the kind ever held
iii this city. There were no acct
dents serious enough to mar the
harmony or cast a shadow; there
was no boisterousness, no needless
levity, but rather a feeling that the
occasion was one dealing with lifc's
solemn phases.
Yearly the graves Of veterans in
the cemetery increase in numbers,
and more childish hands are re-
uuired to strew the flowers. The
people of Elk Point will always pat
rioticully remember the old soldiers
on Decoration days.

New Bailcirgs.

Elk point is steadily growing
larger. The city is having Il steady
growth in coy homelike residences
which yearly make it more typi-
cal city of BONES. Thus far this
season some valuable additions have
been made.
j. 4. Kent's pretty home is near
ing completion. 1t is a house of
eight rooms independent Of four
large closets. This house is partic-
ularly attractive as a home. Tie
large window facing the street with
a glass so by 60 inches, with IL lead.
ed glass transom 16 by 60 inches,
adds much to its beauty. The
stairs are Of California red cedar,
while all the inside furnishings are
of milled castings in hard oil. 1t is
a pretty home for these good old
people to pass their remaining years.
A. Il. Weston is making some
valuable Improvements to his home.
The rear part Of the house is being
moved to the eastern part of the lot,
aud Il new wing will be added to the
main part, which will be remodeled
and improved.
DR.. J. G. Comfy is making some
fine improvements to his residence,
which will add much to the appear
anc to that already pretty resi-.
lence.
H. A. Franklin is improving bis
residence in several ways. He is
also hard at work ON a new barn GO
by SO feet.
or course there are other better
ments in view in various parts Of the
city, and probably some under way
which have not come under the eye
Of the COURIER reporter. 1t is pleas
ant to note these evidences Of pros
perity.

Ye editor aud wife left this city
Saturday May Goth for Chicago to
visit the famous Worlds Fair, re-
turning home Monday, May Doth.
The white City, as it in called, is
a wonderful city, and u visit there
will we'll repay II for the time and
money spent. A description Of the
many beautiful aud interesting
things to be seen would fill Il large
volume. The buildings are erected
upon such u scale Of magnificence
aud splendor that simply u walk
through the streets is a sight alone
that will pay a long trip to witness.
After you nave viewed these mag
niticent walls and studied the many
architectural and a~rtistic disigns
with which they are embelIished,
step inside and you will lie over
whe!nied with the NEST gorgeous
display that the ingenuity Of mod
ern man can conceive OF. A weeks
meandering through these wonder
full buildings gives one but Il mere
glance at the treasures they contain.
A month or six weeks might be
| spent there and then you would 90
away without seeing many inter
es;ing things that arc on exhibition.
The South Dakota building in
which the people of this state are
all interested was not in that state OF
perfection, when we visited it,, that
it ought to be, although when it is
completed aud the exhibits put IN
shape it will make a ,creuitable
showing. Too mucl, time has been
consumed by those having the mat
ter in charge, in doing nothing, al
though it is believed that those
drawing salaries for this work have
received them with commendable
regularity.
About fifty South Dakota editors
with their wives and sweet, hearts
were quartered at the Great North
west Hotel, the South Dakota enter
prise under the management of T..
II. Kent of Huron. This hotel is
most pleasantly situated within
three blocks Of the Worlds Fair
grounds, and those contemplating
visiting the fair will find it a pleas
ant place to stop at, with very reas-
enable charges. Temporary hotels,
restaurants and eating houses in
and about the fair grounds are gem
orally very exhorbitant in their
charges, although there are some ex-
ceptions to this rule. Usually the
old established restaurants and eat.
lighthouses down town are more
moderate in their charges and fur.
nish better meals.
During our stay in Chicago we
spent a few days with G. ". Beggs
and family and enjoyed n pleasant
visit with them. The many friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. Begss in this city
will he glad to learn that they are
prospecting well and enjoying good
health in their Chicago home. While
G. W. is accommodating wealth and
stands high financially in the great
city, he and Mrs. Beegs are always
pleased to see friends from their old
home in Elk Point, and our visit
with them was one of the most
pleasant occurrences Of our trip.
AS before stated, to give any sort
Of a comprehensive description OF the
Worlds Fair would require n large

at it. but advise all who can to go
and see for themselves.

That Iudueshfp,

An Elk Point correspondent of
the Argus-Leader has been studying
the iudgeship question of this dis
7 triet, aud unloads the following
guesses:
Candidates for the judgeship in
the first judicial circuit are beginn-
ing to practice the judicial frown
and at the same time grasp the
hands Of the dear voter. Up to
date there are three pronounced can
didates in the field, viz: Ericsson of
Elk Point, Smith of Yankton, Jones
of Parker and ten or twelve more
who stand in the position Of "Bar-
kis is will,n." The republican slate
seems to be for Judge Smith for
nomination for supreme judge. If
he secures this nomination, then
Ericsson Of Elk Point will be tle
leading candidate FOR the circuit
bench. Ericsson, being a Norwegian
would doubtless carry a larger per
cent of the scandinavian vote than
any candidate the republicans
could nominate, and as this will be
no small consideration in the coil
test, he will doubtless lead the re.
publican ranks.
As Judge Smith is we'll liked by
all, regardless of political affiliations
he will in all probability be one of
the supreme court.
So far no candidates are annolrn.
ced among the democrats or popu-
lists, but should they nominate
some good man for the position
they could without doubt upon n
fusion basis easily carry the first
circuit.
