RANSOM TOWNSHIP.

The crops in this town are looking
very we'll. Corn is far ahead of what
it usually is ut this time of year, and is
a "good stand.'' II nothing Details
the crops, we shall have good yield
this year..
The picnic in Mr.. Prideaux's grove
was we'll attended aud was very en-
joyable affair. - <
Quite a goodly number of our peo-
pie went to Rushmore on Sunday July
2, to "take in" the Sunday School Con-
vention. The fine weather helped to
bring ont a large crowd.
A few days ago our good friend,
George Spencer, of Hull, Sioux county,
iowa, was around looking after his
business interests here. ME-. Spencer
owns, ,se1ne choice pieces ofslxnd,z in
this town which he is putting under IA
good state of cultivation. When here
he had just returned from tho Words
Fair, and was full of the wonders Of
that mammoth exhibition. He thinks
there is no trouble about an intelligent
man, with his eyes open, getting the
full worth of his money. There is, he
says, every convenience on the grounds
That could be asked for, and that, too,
at very reasonable charges. He saw
no evidence whatever Of the exorbi-
tant charges that we have sometimes
heard Of. Mr.. Spencer has near re:
latives in the city, and he made his
home with them while there-a good
solid month-but his brother-in-law,
who was there at the same time had to
hire his quarters, and he was able to
procure front room as nicely fur
nished, said Mr.. Spencer, as any one
would wish to furnish his parlor, and
for the room and two meals q day fol
himself and wife lie was charged two
dollars day. Not very exorbitant We
should think. Another thing tina,
pleased Mr.. Spencer very much was the
good order everywhere prevailing
During the month he was there he wa.
around every day on the fair grounds
or in the city and during all that tim'
be never saw a drunken or disorderly
person. This simple fact speak,
volumes. i
