Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1896-02-21

Yankton Press and Dakotian: In
Yankton County, South Dakota, there
are at least one thousand farmers who
came here rs poor as the prcverbial
turkey of Job and who to-day count
their worldly possessions by thousands.
Many of them started in with house
built of sod, and almost empty handed
so far as horses and cattle go. To-
day they occupy fine dwelling houses,
have large barns, fine horses, cattle,
hogs and sheep, granaries filled with
grain, fruit orchards and money in
hand. We mention this to show that
South Dakota farmers are the prosper
Gus class. Prosperity is the rule-nof
the exception. With fair prices for
grain and live stock they would be
rolling in wealth. Prices, however,
have nothing to do with the fertility OF
the soil and the favorable character Of
the climate. These natural advantages
are here to stay and assure prosperity
to the farming classes.
A copy of an illustrated pamphlet on
Irrigation in South Dakota" just is
sued by the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul railway, can be had by ad-
dressing w. e. Powell. General lmmi-

in honor of the royal visitor. Long be-
fore noon the hall was cleared of the
public, so that when Queen Caroline
and her party arrived they should have
the hall and all of its beautiful articles
to themselves, that they might admire
as much and buy as much as they
wished. Finally the royal party en-
tered, and Queen Caroline stopped first
at one booth and then at another, adj
miring and purchasing the many
dainty articles offered for sale.
When the booth presided over by the
Chicago girls was reached, her ma
jesty exclaimed with delight at the
beauties of the shades:
Are these American" she asked OF
the young girls.
Eyes," answered little Miss Fuller.
"Your majesty" added her cousin,
Miss Haskell.
Queen Caroline purchased two of the
shades, and when the young girls were
reproached at night for their thought
lessness they exclaimed:
but, mamma, we smiled our pretti-
est and curtesied, oh, so low!"
