Coiey officiating, Mr.. Frank Barnes to

Barnes departed the same afternoon
Q Wisconsin, where they will visit
relatives and friends OF Mrs. Barnes.
They will be absent about two months.
In this issue Wilt be found a very
valuable letter from Andrew Martin
regarding his experience in feeding
wheat to hogs. There are few men in
the county who are better farmers
than MI. Martin and his experience as
presented in his letter is worthy OF the
perusal Of every farmer in the county.
Fred. Brown, superintendent OF Geo.
X. Freeman's farm, arrived today from
minneapolis with his bride. 1t was
not generally known why Fred made
the trip to the North Star city, but
now the secret is out. The COURIER
extends its congratulates and bespeaks
for the happy couple natures choicest
blessings.
John Steckman and wife enjoyed
Christmas day in Vermillion; John
Clementson visited his sister in Sioux
City Christmas night; Hon. E. w.
Miller left on Christmas day for
Deadwood to attend U. s. Court; w.
I. Buchanan was in Cherokee, Ia, to
enjoy his Christmas dinner with his
wife's relations.
John Doolin OF Sphinx was in the city
on Wednesday for the purpose OF Sc
curing warrants for the arrest Of his
sons who have taken possession of his
farm and have turned theiraged father
out in the cold to shuttle for himself.
1t is a family quarrel and nothing has
been done SO far to relieve the warlike
dition which exists.
In the last issue Of the Vermillion
Plain Talk we find the following:
"The Elk Point COURIER says Mrs. o.
r. Williams Of that city made the trip
from Elk Point to Vermillion on a BIZ
cycle in one hour and fifteen minutes.
We quite agree with u red headed
editorial brother that the lady is en-
titled to a medal as cyclist."
Fred G. Buchanan, brother Of the
editor dropped in upon us last Satur-
day quite Unexpectedly. Fred was on
his way to Deadwood, where he goes
to witness the hanging Of Two-Sticks,
the noted chief. He will write up the
scene as it transpires for the Chicago
Times for which paper he has been
doing special work for some time.
The list of scholars who were

man, Gertie Wood, Grace Ringsrud,

VERNE Wood, Lille Talcott, Luella
Comfy, Nettie Harriott, Lottie Kirk,

Behlmeyer, Hal Perkins and Thomas
Gill. The awards were for excellence
in scholarship, department and at
tendance.
Sam Halliday has made a speciality
Of handling the Cole & Cole air tight
heater and has disposed Of twenty-six
SO far. The principle involved in the
stove is such as to furnish ample op-
portunity to exercise plenty Of
economy and he guarantees that the
stove will save its price during the
winter. They are neat, require little
attention and in the burning of wood
are not excelled by any other stove in
the market. When in need Of a heater
be sure and give him a call.
This is the way Fire Eater Tom
Ayers puts it in his last issue Of the
Plain Talk: The editor Of the Elk
Point COURIER advises the Vermillion
editors to get along nor amicable
together. Well this is good advise
and should be followed and probably
will be when the editorial fraternity
in this city have all died and gone to
hi where business and political as
pirations are all wiped out by the purg-
ing influence of tons of sulpher. But
there is one thing about Vermillion;
there is life enough here to get up a
good fight.
On Thursday evening (tonight) the
Masonic lodge Of this city will give a

VIM. Fields, F. j. Barnes, j. l.. futile

: George Washington Roberts, presi
dent OF the Corn Belt Real Estate as
sociation OF South Dakota with head
quarters at Yankton, favored this Office
a call on last Thursday. Mr.. Roberts
is a ~tireless worker for the state ant
there Is not q man In our common
, wealth, in our humble opinion, WIN
does more to advance the u 0
immigration Dakotawards than MI
Roberts. His powers Of description
