Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1893-08-31

Nearly every family has or should
have a good monthly magazine, and
what is there better than The Cosmo-
politan. As will be seen by ad in an
other column We have made arrange
ments with the publishers of this popu-
lar magazine so that we are enabled to
offer The Cosmopolitan and the Herald
to all subscribers who pay spot cash
(and all arrearages to the Herald) for
$3.50 year. This is the best oppor-
tunity you have ever had to secure a
strictly first-class magazine at low
figure and we know many of you will
take advantage of it.
The man who takes so many other
papers that he can't afford to take his
home paper was in the Office one day
this week. Some day he will meet
with misfortune or some of his fam
lily will die, or suffer loss in some way,
and he will think the paper ought to
make mention Of his loss. The papers
he takes are published away from
home, the publisher of which neither
knows him nor cares for him enough
to make mention of any loss he may
sustain, unless it be unusual, which its
readers might be interested in. When
such man drops out of a community,
nobody but his immediate family miss
es him, and the world wags as though
he never lived in it.-Sheldon Eagle.

the total valuation of the property in
the state as assessed for taxation is

lion dollars over 1892 Turner countY's
assessment is about $4,000 dollars less
than last year. In looking over the
amount of stock in each county we find
that figuring area IN the leading coun-
ties, they stand in number of hogs in

Homme, Union, Turner, Yankton, Lin
coin, Hutchinson. In number of cattle:
Clay. Union, Bon Homme. Hutcbin-
son, Lincoln, Turner, Turner has 2O,-
sos hogs and 1868 cattle. Bon Homme
and Hutchinson are the only counties
containing more hogs than Turner.
Stanley county has hog and Hughes
county II.
1.-THE Lord knows" said the Woon-
socket preacher last Sunday. that
many of us have previously erred dur
ing the past week, and If the state game
law were enforced few men would be
in this church today, even thy servant
would be in bonds or under bonds.
Many of the wicked are also out this
day, breaking thy law as well as the
state law by shooting chickens out of
season and on the Lords day. Let the
lord deal mercifully with people who
have no regard for the sanctity of the
law, but willfully violate the same, and
forgive those self-righteous men and
women of this congregation who point
the finger of scorn at us and cry aha!
aha! The fact is they don't know how
to shoot, have no guns and can't bor-
row dog, or they might themselves
have partaken OF the flesh of the prai-
rie chicken, unlawfully. Satan sets
snare for some and bats it with prairie
chicken, and for others he bats with
bottled beer, according to the appetite
of the flesh and we are all gathered in.
Brethren. let us consider where we are
at before we are under conviction and
it is everlastingly too late. The stew
ards will now collect a nickle from
each saint and sinner present, after
which the pastor will speak concerning
the Jews."-Woonsock News.
New Era, 25th: The New Era is
called upon this week to chronicle a
most distressing item ofnews, in which
one of the most estimable ladies of our
town is the unfortunate victim. On
Saturday forenoon last, while Mrs. DIR.
Melvin was doing some chamber work
in connection with folding bed. that
heavy article of furniture fell over
upon her with crash and pined her as
trap in its strong folds. Her husband,
the doctor, heard the crash and ran
into the bedroom to ascertain the cause.
There he found his wife wedged in be-
tween the folds of the bed, the wooden
sides of which had caught her with a
death like grip across the waist. In
the shutting of the bed, the upright
part or headboard had fallen over, add
ing its weight to the pressure of the
weight that aids the opening and clos
ing of the bed. The doctor was unable
to extricate his wife from her position,
and went outside and called in assist
ance The bed was pried open and
Mrs. Melvin extricated. When placed
upon her feet she fell limp to the floor,
one side having been paralized in the
accident. DR.. Brown of Sioux Falls
was telegraphed for and arrived in the
afternoon. A consultation was held
and the conclusion was that the brain
was injured by the falling bed, which
caused the paralysis. She remains in
the same helpless condition, but if SYM
pathy could restore the bright and
popular little lady, she would now be
convaleScent.
Wanted.
Hay, potatoes, oats, and corn on ac-
