blessed this vicinity during the past

The month Of July this year has
seemed unusually warm to Custer peo-
pie, but it isn't a marker to the heat
which is endured by those who live all
around us. From 80 to 1000 in the sun
would be considered very temperate
weather in most any other locality.
The mica men who were expected to
return to Custer between the Goth and
25th of this month, have not yet arriv-

that they will be in Custer the last of
this week.

have made this place their headquarters

postofice and source of supplies.

are a number of persons who wish to be
interested in the enterprise Mr.. Ward
expects TO organize a company later on.
Jas. Clark will reopen his meat mar
ket at the old stand opposite the Klee,
mann, some time next month. Mr..
Clark informed us some time ago that
he would not open up the shop again
until times were better, and it is evident
that he is n of the many who believe
that business is improving, and that
prosperous days for Custer are not far
in the future.
The Fourth Annual Assembly of the
Black Hills Chautauqua was opened at
the Springs Thursday evening with a
lecture by DR.. Everman, his subject
being, "Six Months in the Boring Sea
on the Fur Seal Expedition" The
principal attraction yesterday was w. ].
Bryan's speech on "~Bi,netallism." The
attendance is already very fair and the
meeting win undoubtedly be a decided
success.

reason TO believe that all Of them are
not reliable and ss II isa difficult mat
tsr 10 distinguish between those which
are 10 be depended upon, and those
which are not. We will publish none Of
them.
