BY it. Call ON A. J. johnson & Co,

ONTARIO, July S.-Wm. Sandon was

is the cause. Perry Walker is on the
sick list Finn" late of Company M,

Libby swOre out q warrant for Ellen
Woods for assault and battery in Justice
divers court. Backus arrested her in
Union Center last Wednesday Our
celebration was rather weak this time.
There were other villages celebrating
and this partly accounts for the slim at
tendance. The Norwalk band was here
all day for $40. Exercises were foot,
bicycle and sack races and a creased
pig race. Len Kyes was awarded the
prize on the foot race, Abe Sturdevant
won the bicycle race, Ole Olson got the
sack lace and FL. H. Hanson carried off
the creased pig. There was a social hop
at Park hall. Seventy-six numbers We're
sold. A few got full bat no rows re-
ported. Next season we think all the
business men will join in and have a
time ON the Fourth as of yore. Andrew
Motley has been visiting his brother in
Nebraska Tor the last month, returned
nome the 9Th; reports the crops fine in
that state; have had plenty of rain but
no floods. =. James Rafferty, and wife,

clone. ..,E. w. Sandon got the dam and
fiume repaired and the grist mill started
up last Wednesday, the first since the

A Letter from soath Dakota.

ASHTON, s. D., July 4, 1899.
EDITOR CENSoR:-There were about
seventy-fve people who came to Sphinx
county. South Dakota, in the early
eighties from Chaseburg ard vicinity
and all, or nearly so at least, who took
up land have done well and are prosper
ing, and quite a number have done re-
markedly well and have no desire to re-
turn to Vernon county to live. Not but
what they think a good deal of Vernon
and their friends and relatives who are
there, but they came west to grow up
with the country and they intend to
stand by their colors. There is very
good prospects for a crop of all kinds.
as most of the wheat is headed, or the
earliest at any rate, and this afternoon
a very heavy rain is falling, which prac-
tically insures all early wheat. Corn is
very near waist high and a fine stand;
hay and pastures are good and show no
effects of drouth, as there has been none
this @ Land has advanced consider
able and will continue, as all vacant
lands are being picked up by resident
and nonresident farmers. Practically
one half of the early settlers OF South
Dakota were not farmers but came west
to get the benefit of their LAND rights.
The other half were representatives from
all the states of the union, consequently
no man could learn from his heighbor,
as nearly every one had a way OF ms
own. But time has made changes and
l think we have. profited by our expert.
ence and we could have a repetition OF
the eighties without the bad effects. |
think our land cheaper today at $40 per
acre than it was in 80 at $1.25 But the
81. 25 per acre land has gone and $40
land will soon be of the past. The north
mart of the state Tor the Jim River Val
lev at least) is very good land, although
we do not have the fruit that they have
in the south part of the state THAT com
mares with Wisconsin, as that section
has been settled SO much longer, but
ell of us in the north part OF the state
concede that it will take years for us to
get mn to the south in buildings and
good farming. There they deal more In
stock. / notice in the CENSOR OF June
9Sth. n communication from Tennis
Hoakland. who is on his way to good
old Vernon with a prairie schooner. A
good way for him to do would be to put
his schooner on the cars, as L think IL
will consume too much time for him TO
90 overland and he might get "saken In
again. Ihope he will prosper in Vernon
as / do not believe he eve would IN
south Dakota. he evidently ON his trip
''out west expected to get something
for nothing. but could't make it work,
The loss he claims is the government
price of the land. He very likely put no
improvements on the land and done no
breaking, but waited for some ons to
come along and give him 81. 900 for his
bargain. but the sucker came
and so he went back to odd Vernon.
There is one sure thing, and that Is
if Tennis Hoakland has his land clear OF
all in~cumbance he better hold onto 1T
or in other words stand by his colors.
This state is all right but we want
stayers and they are sure TO receive
their reward in the raise of tbs land.
Yours respectfully,
