Agricultural Marketinrs.

The year 1892 has marked an epoch
in the progress of the farmer in not
only Dawson but all the counties of the
state. Every product raised on the
farm, with the exception of wheat, has
been marketed at a price that has
turned a good profit into the farmers
pocket. And they have become more
and more impressed with the fact that
diversified farming pays and pays we'll,
and the coming season will witness
some radical changes in this direction.
The most profitable stuff produced last
year was hogs. which brought from
$5.25 to S6.l5 per hundred. butter at 25
cents per pound, eggs at % cents per
dozen, while cereals have brought an
agreeable price. The year just closed
has been one of great success to our far
mers and the evidence of it is shown in
their new barns, houses. etc. A goodly
portion OF the wheat crop in the county
is held for a better market, which in
their opinion is bound to come.

rhe Eeeling in Real Estatc.

The real estate dealers in Mitchell
report a growing business in their line
during the past year and say they are
receiving three times the number of in
quiries for land that they did a year
ago. a canvass among the different
dealers in town develops some interest
ing figures as to the amount OF real es-
tate sold. The figures obtained from
Them show that l9,500 acres OF farm
lands have been disposed of since last
January, and while some OF the land. has
been purchased in speculative way,
yet the largest portion of it was sold to
intending settlers at prices ranging all
the way from S6 to $40 per acre. Davi-
son county land is no drug on the
market and hardly aday passes but that
two or three eastern men come here for
the purpose of investing in real estate.
To intending settlers this county offers
extra inducements as every kind OF
grain can be raised successfully. At
present the prices of real estate are es-
tablished at Il rate within the easy
reach OF an eastern tenant and it is no
uncommon event for farmer to pay
for quarter section of land from the
profit OF one years crop. What has
been accomplished by one man is, open
to all and the opportunity for doing it
is right here in Dawson county.

Among Mt. vernon,s BUSINESS Men.

The reporter placed himselfin charge
of NJ G. Belts, who very kindly intro
duced him to all the business men in
the town, and we must say that it has
been Il long time since we have had the
pleasure of meeting any more enterpris-
ing class of merchants than Mt. Vernon
possesses. And when any enterprise
comes up that will benefit their town
they can be found as a unit, and so long
as such an agreeable state of affairs
exist Mt. Vernon cannot help but grow.
No town. however small, is complete
without bank and in this respect Mt.
Vernon has been particularly favored.
The Dawson County bank was organ
lied as private institution about eight
years ago, but was reorganized as a
state bank with a capital of $4,000
about two years ago. The bank occrl.

BISHOP HARE ON DIVORCE.

In the course of his sermon last Sun.
day night Bishop Hare made the fol.
lowing forcible allusion to the necessity
for amending the divorce law of the
state:
Any institution or practice carried II
IN community, which is sapping the
moral life outof that community, should
pe exposed and suppressed. The time
has come in the history OF our fair state
when the divorce industry carried on
mere should receive such treatment
Some say that it is a good thing fo1
South Dakota to have the divorces and
divorce suits. say that it is alarming
and our lax divorce laws haye become .
national scandal. tits not so much the
securing OF divorce which is so shock
ing but the consecutive polygamy which
is practiced, in marrying again, SO socI

The high living of these people, while

wish to be famous? This makes US infam-
Gus. q do we want credit? This is discred-
it. Sioux Fails is lacking in public spirit
when it builds up this industry and
fails to develop the great institutions
here which would benefit all. A shadow
is being cast over the citys prosperity.
The bishop argued that the time OF
residence should be heightened, that
provision be made for limited divorce,
and that to remedy these evils the
church should 'iventilate. agitate and
educate" The sermon produced q
decided sensation.

An Important Factor in Our Growth.


When the people of Mitchell conclu-
ded to erect the Exposition building to
show therein the progress of our state,
they little expected to reap so much
benefit from it. The building cost the
citizens of this city the sum of $4,000,
every dollar of which was contributed
by Mitchell people and few outside
property owners. During the six days
the Exposition was open to the public
thousands of visitors hocked here to see
the results of South Dakota farming.
AT the same time there was afforded an
opportunity to look over the town and
county and in many instances they in
vested in quarter section of land. In q
business way our merchants were bene-
fitted largely. People from surround
ing towns came here and made it a
point to look over the stores. AS a re,
suit in this direction it has built up a
larger trade for the merchants and
given them u prestige never before en-
joyed. The exposition was success in
every sense of the word and there is no
doubt but what it will become a perma-
nent institution of Mitchell. With the
sum cleared from the first effort plans
are being made to enlarge the building
and the general scope OF the enterprise.
It was an undertaking worthy a city
five times the size of Mitchell, and the
Exposition is an eXcellentillustration of
the indomitable will Of western people.

OF business transacted by the Milwau-
kee company at this point and says
that on freight brought in and sent out
they have received $40, 900.
The outlook for the Coming Year,

AS the day dawns for another new
yearh hopes of the brightest sort arise in
the breast OF every man, and with them
a firm resolve to outdo in every possible
way the year which has just gone.
With the success of two good crops be-
hind them the business men of Mitchell
and Dawson county stand in much dif-
ferent position, and one also that tends
to their benefit. There is not that
feeling of restraint on them now as
when crops were poor and they can
branch out in their respective lines
with greater degree of safety. In the
way of building and improvements
much can be anticipated. Several new
business houses will be erected, at
least parties are now figuring on plans
and materials. The residence portion
OF the city will of necessity have to be
increased as every habitable dwelling
is now occupied. So in this respect
considerable can be looked for. Mitch
ellis hotel facilities must also be
looked after as at present the two
Or three hotels are inadequate to
handle the ever Increasing business as
was aptly demonstrated during the Ex-
position. A gigantic effort will be
made to commence the erection of a
fine hotel in the spring OF early summer,
and from what we can learn from the
parties who have interested themselves
in the project we are constrained to
believe that their efforts will be
crowned with ultimate success. There
are a great many things within the
reach OF Mitchell for the coming year
and The Commercial Club will need 10
be on the alert so that nothing shall es-
cape them. And in closing this review
we offer this toast: "May Mitchell and
Dawson county take on a steady growth
and advancement: may they get every
thing they go after and lose none Of
what they possess: may they be success
full in all business affairs and when the
curtain rolls down on 1893 may they
look back on the years work and know
that the most desired objects have been
attained" This toast is broad enough
and long enough to cover all the neces-
sary ground and we hope to see every
man in Mitchell with realizing sense
OF his own welfare, put his shoulder to
the wheel OF progress and keep it turn
ing until Mitchell assumes the position
she is entitled to by virtue of her
locatinn

OF dollars and their capacity has nearly
been doubled. A new engine. a new
boiler, and a new dynamo are the things
which have been added, besides the
stringing OF several miles of wires for
the six new arc lights.
Along the line of Improvements can
be mentioned the thousands of feet of
new sidewalk laid last year, and in this
connection a larger amount can be eN-
pected to be put down in 1893. The
Koch block, which has been in state
OF decay for several years, has been
renovated and converted into splendid
business block.

Among the Grain Elevators.
Mitchell has proven a good mar

Mitchell has proven good market
for grains this season. Buyers have
been active in securing the cereals and
haye always paid the best market price.
The receipts of grain for 1892 are not so
large as for the corresponding period of
1891, this being due to the low price of
wheat. Other grains have been brought
in to as great an extent as the previous
year. A grand total of 25O, 900 bushels
of grain have been received at the var
ious elevators and mill up to the close
of the year.

No Confidence in the Story.

LONDON, Jan. 3.-The officials of the
Cunard line are not inclined to place
confidence in the story that the Gallia
refused assistance to the Umbria. They
regard the alleged refusal tobe based on
the imagination Of some of the passen-
gers and decline to believe the report on
any evidence SO far presented. They
point out that it would tend greatly to
the advantage of the captain to tow the
Umbria to New York and that it was
Just possible that the signals of the UNI
bria were mistaken. They prefer to
wait for the arrival of the Gallia before
discussing the subject any farther.

aSJ TWO years buluSS have CoulllAouCou
to loom up quite good deal.
Ethan is situated in the center of an
excellent farming district and draws
large trade to the west and south. The
farmers around Ethan are an energetic
and thrifty class and have made some
valuable Improvements on their farms
during the year. In conversation with
A. H. Smith, who represents the Aus
tin Lumber company, we learned that
he bad sold over $l4,0 900 worth of lum-
Der which had gone into improvements
in the town and country.
| Ethan has done heavy stock and
grain business. G. +. Drake, the stock
buyer, says he has shipped on an aver
age OF two cars of stock a week, and the
grain receipts of the three flat houses
has amounted to $4,000 bushels since
the new crop was harvested.
