shop and house to Will Davis OF Puk-
wana. 1t is understood that an Iowa
man gets che residence property on an-
other deal. Mr.. Davis runs a shop at
Pukwana. His brother, now in the Black
Hills, is expected soon to take charge Of
the Kimball shop. Mr.. Glass thinks of
leaving, we are sorry to say, and locating

The Chicago Produce says: 1t is the
opinion Of the leading receivers of butter
in this city that South Dakota is des-
tined to be II of the leading producers
OF butter in the west. Never in the his

qnirements for keeping as the butter
coming from South Dakota, 1t is solid
as wax, as a rule, and stands up well.

he baptized 1900 people, married 700
couples and organized 300 congregations
and fourteen state conferences, besides
publishing a number Of books and
papers Of a religious order.

and Tumble Weeds, and was Won by the
former after a series of wild throws
errors, passed balls and cramps, sand
WICKED with a deal of humor and a
paucity of ball playing.
You can always judge a town by its
newspaper, says the Inter Ocean. Never
buy a town lot where a poor, half-starved
newspaper is published. Newspapers
these days are a necessity, not a luxury
They are so cheap that the poorest mar
can have them-unless he is running a
bill at the saloon. 1t matters not how
many others he may take, he should give
an honest support to his home paper.
