Huron dispatch, l6: While in the
city 4 few days since Hon. G. l.. Pink
ham, ex-state superintendent of public
instruction, said he spent the past win
ter in the south, most OF the time in
Mississippi and Tennessee. He states
that in the section visited, people are in
harder times, financially. than in South
Dakota. Failure of fruit crops and low
prices for cotton, has bankrupted many
OF the large planters. and fruit growers.
There is 20 employment for mechanics
OF any class except on small jobs which
are very few, and day laborers find it
impossible to get work at any price.
Very few of the cities are making I'M
provements, and all are filled with idle
men. People who go south expecting to
get employment or find desirable bust
ness openings will be disappointed, and
he would advise all such to remain in
South Dakota.
