Mr.. G.. A. Wood is attending
the annual meeting of the gener-
al association of TIE Congrega
tional churches of South Dakota,
which was in session the 18th
to Goth, at Vermillion.
Mr.. Jno. A. Munro, of Wilmot
and DR.. Clark Of Revillo, came
in last Monday on their way to
Aberdeen, where they go as
representatives Of the subordi-
nate lodges |. O. O. F., at the an
nual meeting Of the grand lodge,
held there this week.
The newly appointed Indian
agent at the Sisseton agency,
Mr.. Nathan P. Johnson, was in
the city over Saturday and Sun
day while on his way to the
agency. Mr.. Johnson halls from
Kingsbury county, has been
a resident of South Dakota for
the past fourteen years, has
been engaged in farming much
of the time, and is no tenderfoot
in Dakota affairs. He expects to
return after a few days visit at
the agency, and take his family
to their new home. Agent
Johnson has every appearance Of
an upright, clear headed busi-
ness man, and we predict that
agency matters will be in thor
oughly competent and trust
worthy hands under his admin
istration.
Since the election of Prof.
John Kelley as superintendent of
the city schools he has received
an appointment to a position as
director of the training depart
ment in a state normal school at
Mount Pleasant, Mich, which
he has deemed it advisable to ac-
cept, and will therefore retire
from the schools here at the
close Of the term. Both the
school board and the people OF
Milbank generally regret the
severance of relations between
Mr.. Kelley and the schools here,
which under his superintendency
have been in most satisfactory
and encouraging condition, and
have made a perceptible advance
in usefulness. The kindest
wishes of the people of Milbank
will accompany Prof. Kelly and
family to their Michigan home.
| The editorial fort was gallantly
stormed and taken last Friday
evening by a grand army Of
boys-and girls too, who came
] down upon him like the wolf on
the fold" or rather up on him,
as their victim is now living
higher than at any previous per
iod of his experience on this
mundane sphere, and is far
above the common walks of life.
But the boys and their allies
clim bed the ascent, took forclble
possession Of the castle, and we
should Judge had royal good
time. AS they were aware that
the editorial pasture was not OF
the richest picking they did not
fail to make provision for the oc-
casion, and with a freezer Of ice
cream and supply OF other
dainties there was no lack OF
good things to round out the en-
tertainment. There is lots Of
the stuff out Of which they make
men in that class Of boys, and
