The Crop Outlook In South Dakota for
1897.

1t requires but small amount of
rainfall in South Dakota to mature
the crop. During 1896 South Dakota
had, up to September 30th, three and
seven-tenths inches more of rainfall
than for any of the previous sixteen
years. Since September 30th there has
been added at least three or four inches
to the excess, making gain of nearly
eight inches more than the average.
Early in November there were heavy
rains depositing over two inches, aud
since then there have been heavy
SHOWS, and about n foot of snow COW
cred the ground on November 25th.
Dakota farmers have abundance of hay
and great supplies of oats, barley and
corn. Wheat has advanced to about
seventy cents q bushel in the local
markets, and prospects for further adj
vance are good. The ground will come
out in the spring better soaked than
ever before. The prospect for better
prices next year is good. There are
thousands of people in the East who
could do no better than to 80 nc South
Dakota now and buy their seed and
feed for next year, and move out in the
spring. Eirst-class farming land in
South Dakota, along the lines of the
Chicago, Milwaukee 81 st. Paul rail
way, can now be bought at from $40 to
Sl5 an acre. The creamery industry
and stocll-raising in South Dakota will
greatly increase during 1897. For

RESOURCES OF ALABAMA.
Reeited In the Inaugural Address OF

Recited in the Inaugural Address or
Governor Johnston.
Governor Joseph f. Johnston was in
augurated governor of Alabama Dec. 1.
Before taking the oath of Office he de-
livered a long address, sounding the
keynote OF his administration, which
is to promote the development OF Ala
bama's resources and improve the con-
dition OF her people. Speaking of the
resources of the state he said:
with an area OF but little more than
fifty thousand square miles, there is no
territory of like size in the known
world so prolific in the variety OF its
resources; were a wall erected around
our state, cutting off all access, we
could produce within our borders
everything necessary for the comfort
or convenience OF man. Great veins
of iron ore and seams of coal put at
our command almost boundless re-
sources in fuel, iron, and steel. Splen-
did forests of yellow pine here stand
ready to build homes for millions or
people. Building stone and marble
fire clay, kaolin and lime exist in greet
abundance; walnut, maple, oak, cherry,
ash and other hard woods await the
hand of man for manufacture or the
adornment of our homes. In the pro-
duction of pig iron we take rank AZ
the fourth state in the union; in iron
ore, third; in coal we stand fifth; In
the production of cotton, fourth, and
in it's manufacture, fourth. In lumber
we are near the head of the list. II
would be unjust should / fail to in
clude in our minerals copper, lead,
graphite, mari and gold; indeed, the
only mineral that we seem to be with
out and to want most is silver. LeaV-
ing forest and mine and coming to our
fields we find that they produce gen.
erously cotton, corn, wheat, rye, oats,
tobacco, rice and the grasses and here
is the home Of the pear, the peach, the
grape and all small fruits. Vegetables
are grown with great success, and this
industry is steadily developing. Our
splendid rivers, the Alabama, Coosa,
Tallapoosa, Warrior, Cahaba, Bigbee
and the Tennessee, are the liquid ar
teries of the commonwealth, fed by in
Vulnerable creeks, all fruitful in power
to convert our raw products into arti-
cles of merchandise. Over 5000 miles
of railroads traverse our state from
north to south, and east to west, fur
nishing quick transportation to market
for our products. When we come to
our climate we find that the Giver OF
all good things has not stayed His
hand, and that He has blessed us with
opportunity to labor twelve months in
the year without detriment to health Oh
comfort. Indeed, we can scarcely ap'
preciate the blessings we enjoy in thi:
: respect when compared with less ia
, vored regions, for even now we are
seemingly unconscious that roses art
blooming in our gardens, and the fra
grant air is sweet with their perfume
I, With a profound gratitude Il
the God Of our fathers, that our lot
have been cast in this sunny land, lie
us beseech Him to send warmth ant
vitality and enduring growth int
every field Of endeavor, that will max
us strong to accomplish the things tina
make a state loved at home and re
vered abroad"

Warden Van Eyera on Prison Labor.

Warden Van Evera of the Marquette
prison in his biennial report to Gov.
Rich says the principal problem which
he confronted was how to keep the
convicts employed The depressed
condition of business caused several
firms using prison labor to cancel con-
tracts. He thus had n lot of idle con-
victs on his hands and resorted to vari-
Gus measures-financially unproductive
to keep them busy. Warden Van
Evera says that the employment of
convict labor in manufacturing goods
can be defended only on the ground
that it produces a revenue which re-
lieves the burden of taxation. 1t is
inexcusable 10 put convict manufac-
tured goods in competition with free
labor when there is no demand for
than. Since October, 1895, IL men
have been paroled. One forfeited his
parole He says it is great aid to
prison discipline. 1t is estimated that
S36 ,94s will be necessary for the cur
rent expenses for each of the years
| 1897 and 1898, there having actually
been expended for this purpose in
1896, S34, 7lo45. Special appropria-
tions of $4,000 will be needed. The
average number Of inmates is 209.

SUDDEN DEATH.
Mr. George w. Hall Expires at an Early Hour
This Morning.

Our community was greatly shocked
this morning by the announcement o.
the death of our venerable townsman
Mr.. George W. Hall. His death wa;
very sudden and unexpected. He
was upon the streets yesterday and
last night in his usual health, cheerful
and active as usual. He retired tc
his room at Mrs. Hagan's about nine
o'clock. About two o clock this morn
ing he aroused Mr.. W. N. Lemen, and
asked him to 90 for doctor, as he was
feeling very badly. DR.. Butler was
summoned and extended medical aid,
but about three o'clock Mr.. Hall died.
He was conscious up to within few

by congestion Of the lungs and heart
failure.
Mr.. Hall was native Of Prince
George county, Nd. About 1850 he
married Miss Mary Augusta Morgan,
sister of Col. VIM. A. Morgan, and
moved to shepherdstown, where he
has resided ever since. He is survived
by one child, Mrs R. L. Magruder, Of
Washington City, with whom he spent
the past winter, returning here just a
week or two ago.
The deceased was one Of the best
men in our community-of the highest
integrity, of the kindest heart and the
most courteous manners. He had the
respect and esteem Of all our people.
He was an active churchman, and has
been a member of the vestry of Trim
ity Episcopal Church for many years.
He represented this church at most OF
the religious conventions with which
it was connected, and he will be great
ly missed by its members. The de-
ceased was about so years of age.
The funeral service will be held at
the Episcopal Church Friday afternoon
at 8 o'clock.
