Few people know that John Wesley
was ever in America. Few know that
it was he, and not Robert Raikes, who
established the first Sunday.school In
the world. 1t was John Wesley who
preached the first Methodist sermon
delivered in the United States. In
The Ladies' Home Journal for June
Rev. w. j. Scott will tell in the
"Great Personal Events series the
story of "When John Wesley Preached
in Georgia." which is said to b, one OF
the most interesting narratives in this
most successful series.
All old soldiers in this vicinity will
be panied to hear of the death Of Lieut..
A. G. Kingsbury at Sioux City on Fri.
day week ago at st. Joseph's hospital,
where he had been lying sick for two
months. A week before his death he
underwent surgical operation, but
was so weak he failed to rally. Mr..
Kingsbury was for years adjutant of
Stoneman G. A. r. Post at Ponca,
Neb., and genial, whole-souled COM
rade, and many will remember him
kindly like, Huntington, of Huron, who
died recently. He was one of the boys
who picked up his books and left
school to march under and uphold the
honor of our flag. He died at the age
of So. His sufferings ended may he
rest in peace.
John w. Keller received last week
letters patent on his Farm and Stock
yard Gate, which has attracted SO
much attention the past few weeks
just east OF Martins store. He has
assigned half interest in the patent
to J. T. Martin, and under the firm
name of Keller & Martin they are
now prepared to sell state, county,
township and individual rights. Prac.
tical farmers who have examined it
by the hundreds pronounce it marvel
of ingenuity and simplicity, and it
seems to be the coming gate for cheap
ness and serviceability. We are get
ting out for Keller & Martin this week
a large order of deeds and circulars,
and they intend pushing the invention
into the prominence its merits deserve.
Elk Point will be made the headquar-
ters of what is likely to become bust
ness OF large proportions.
On account OF the fast increasing
business of the Press it is necessary to
have more room. For this reason we
have rented an Office between the Reg
lister and the court house to which our
newspaper department will be moved.
The job work and mechanical work on
the Press will be done at the old quar-
ters near the First National Bank, but
the Press will be printed and publish
ed from the new Office. This will make
the Press the papar published nearest
the point designated as the place for
selling property foreclosed by chattel
mortgage, in Brookings, and therefore
all these notices must be published in
the Press, unless the Individual should
60 US one better and publish from Rex
ford's barn, or the Register get into
the new Jail for obtaining money under
false pretenses as result of receiving
money on subscription on the claim
that it is q newspaper.-Brookings
