The Secret of Good Crops.

needs and gets the most improved farm
ing implements; and by reading the
best agricultural literature, he keeps in
touch with the spirit Of progress hat
%pervades our farming communities. He
is particular, also, in regard to the iind
of seed he plants and the of
planting it. The seeds must be of high
est fertility and grown from the highest
cultivated and most profitable varieties
of stock. The great seed firm Of d. NJ.
Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich, fully APP

progressive business methods and the
quality of the seed which they supply
farmers and gardeners through the
dealers all over the country. The reli-
ability and fertility of their seeds are
proverbial and the largest seeds bust.
ness in the world has been created by
their sale. In evidence of this firms
knowledge Of the wants and require.
ments of planters, large and small, is

The Leap Year Ball.

IF Custer is noted for anything, and
everybody knows it is, it is for the ex.
ceptional ability Of the ladies in their
social entertainments. The ladies' of
the society which flourishes under the
highly suggestive (of nothing) name of
the Wah Wahs, fairly immersed them.
selves in the sea of social glory by their
faultless management. of their leap year
ball on the night mot EVENING" of the
8lst ult.
In assuming the masculine role, which
they did in such marvellous perfection
as to make the most mastery of the
male managers ashamed Of themselves,
they demonstrated the rarest ability
which elected the highes. ecomiums Of
all participating in what is conceded TO
! have been one Of the best, if not the
best managed, and most enjoyable social
entertainment ever given in this place.
The spacious hall was taxed to its utmost
capacity to accommodate the people, but
by the strictest attention Of the lady
managers, none Of the sterner sex were
overlooked. and in the event of their
inability or lack Of desire to dance, they
were furnished with q lady partner 10
amuse them in one of the popular social
games of the day.
There was q fair financial clean up
resulting, every cent of which could be
traced to q feminine source. the whole
shooting match, to use a s~tereotyped
phrase, being paid out of the private
purses Of the ladies. The man that
started the rumor that the ladiesqb-
tanned the money from their husbands
is o serenely sleeping in the Custer
cemetery as a just penalty for the sland.
erous charge. The music by Bonds
band of Buffalo Gap, was, as usual, PAL
excellence, and highly appreciated by
all.
The Wah Wahs will now enjoy the
distinction Of being record breakers
having broken all past records in the
measure Of merit reached in the pre-
s~entation of their late leap year ball.

ruE LAST GALL.

The CHRONICLE has made repeated
calls upon those who are in arrears on
subscription, and thus fai with provok-
ingly poor success. With the large ex-
pense incurred in building a new Office,
and in the purchase of a e press, and
other supplies to replace those destroyed
by fire in July last, our financial situa-
ton, by reason of a failure on the part
Of delinquents to respond to our appeal,
has become critical and fairly intolerable.
We make another-the last call. before
adopting harsher means, which we will
be compelled to do, in the event Of this
last call being unheeded. In some
instances wind has been utilized as a
motive power, but it has never been
successfully employed in running a
newspaper, it therefore becomes IN ab.
solute necessity for us to have money to
meet our obligations. Will our delin-
quent subscribers realize this fact and
make an earnest and immediate effort
to settle their accounts, and thereby
relieve us of our present embarrassment
and save themselves additional ex-
pense? For a short time We await q
reply.

The Custer Guards are contemplating
the presentation of military drama at
the opera house on Thursday evening,
March Goth, the second anniversary OF
the organization of the company. A
number Of standard dramas have been
ordered from which a suitable one will
be selected, and parts assigned at all
early day. The boys have always sue.
ceeded admirably In every enterprise
undertaken, even to the extent of sus'
tanning their organization without state
or other aid, and there is no valid reason
why they should not be successful in
their new histrionic role.

The M ass Meeting.

The mass meeting at the court house
on Monday evening called for the pur-
pose of forming a local organization to
act in concert with the Black Hills I'M
provement Association, was not as mas
siye as the importance Of the occasion
would warrant by several rows Of apple
trees. 1t was expected by at least a few
of our citizens that the long unbroken
period Of Clusters somnolence could be
broken, but the hope was only partially
realized. There are cases which would
appear to be beyond the pale of reason
able hope, and it would be interesting
to know if, in the event Of a blast from
Gabriel's trumpet waking the echoes
of the adjacent mountains, those apatho-
tic souls would pay any attention what
ever to the solemn summons. There
were assembled however a sufficient
number to do business, snd the object
for which the meeting was called, was
fully accomplished.
ID. w. Webster, local vice president,
called the meeting to order and presided
over its deliberations, and Samuel Scott
was chosen as secretary.
After considerable desultory discus.
sion Of the matter in hand, a committee
OF seven was, on motion. appointed by
the chair to devise ways and means to
secure the necessary funds 10 carry out
the object under contemplation. The
s~,,~-s-- e--~-"~ --s- -,->~-t--
upon the committee: fI,f
w. F. Hanley, ]. w. Hanna, NJ. A.
Willis, B. r. Wood, Paul Kleemann
Samuel Scott and S. II. Shanklaud.
After having decided upon Tuesday,
1880 o'clock p. m. as the time for a meet.
ing of the committee, the meeting adj
journed.
The committee met at the time speci-
fed, and decided to raise the first
February assessment by subscription,
and the chairman appointed B. r.
Wood and Paul Kleemann a committee
to 60 boldly forth and raise the amount
by solicitation, which they succeeded in
doing in a few minutes. Clusters first
assessment is now in the hands of the
treasurer Of tho association at Dead
wood, and the Pioneer city gets there as
usual by a scratch.
