Twentieth Anniversary.

On Sunday, Feb. 11th. Mr.. and Mrs.
G. H. Collins reached the twentieth
anniversary of their wedding day and,
having passed the day in peace and
quietude, had no thought for tomor-
row and what it might bring forth, or
even suspected that on that day their
pleasant home would be invaded by
three score of thoughtless and mis-
chief loving people. But some Of
their friends, having knowledge of
this important event in their life's
history, entered into horrid conspir-
acy to invade this peaceful domicile
and turn it into babel of hilarious
ness and enjoyment seldom if ever
witnessed within it's sacred precincts.
As consequence their friends and
neigh bors, to the number of sixty,
noisily clamored for admission at the
door of the Collins mansion in north
Brookings, at about $50 Monday even
ing. Mrs. Collins was alone and her
astonishment may be better imagined
than described as this throng
swarmed into the house and took pos
session of the parlors, dining room
and kitchen and proceeded to unload
their burden of choice edibles, while
Mrs. Collins was quietly informed
that she must make herself perfectly
at home.
Mr.. Collins was Immediately tele-
phoned for and, with considerable
trepidation at the hasty summons,
started at once for home. Charlie
declares, however, that after travers-
ing Main street for several blocks it
suddenly dawned upon him that he
was sin for it" and that his castle
had been stormed and taken. This
story, however, is taken with some
grains Of allowance, as Charlie has
the reputation Of being something Of
a joker himself. Be that as it may,
he soon put in appearance and was
showered with greetings and congrat-
ulations.
A most pleasant evening was spent
and the unlimited guests retired at
midnight, wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Col
Inns many happy returns of the day,
and leaving as reminder of their un-
ceremonious visit 4 hundred piece din
ner set of the most beautiful Havalin
china.
Mr.. and Mrs. Collins have resided
in Brookings from It's pioneer days
and they have, by their geniality and
hospitality, gathered around them a
host of admiring friends and neigh
bors, all of whom unite with the
REGISTER in its congratulations to
the worthy couple.

Farmers don't want to forget that
spring is soon here, when We all
should be prepared to put in our seed
in the best possible manner, and after
this open, dry winter no one would
ever think of doing his seeding with
out an up-to-date shoe drill. Every
farmer can have the very best, latest
improved, up-to-date, light running
and most durable drill now on the
market, and that at very reasonable
price, by giving an order at once to
Geo. G. Rude, the Brookings imple-
ment and machinery man, for a
Fountain City Drill. If anyone
should doubt this they should 60 at
once TO Mr.. Rude's machine stand on
Main and Williams streets, Brookings,
look over the sample and if found
satisfactory, leave an order for a ma
chine, take it home, try it and be con-
vinced. There will also be samples at
White and possibly in other surround
ing towns. 36tf

To WHOM IT MAY CoNCERN:-It
has been my good fortune to listen to
some of the best temperance speakers
in the country. such as the war eagle
of Kansas, John P. St. John; the sill
yer tongued orator from Kentucky,
Col. Balm; the sagacious and logic
filed T. c. Richmond, of Wisconsin;
and the national chairman, O. w.
Stewart, Of Chicago. Grand as they
are, none Of them have able to stir
me up as our own John G.. Woolley,
with his soul stirring sentences and
burning words. He stands today as
the greatest temperance speaker in
our land.-E. E. Lobeck.

The revival meetings in the NJ. E.
|
and the interest is increasing. Seems
like old times to see the church filled
with those who are seeking after
riches not of this world.
Still there is some talk Of an elec-
trio light system here. We feel sure
that it would be paying institution
for its proprietor Besides the busi-
ness houses, many Of our citizens
would light their residences by this
means, and no doubt the city author
tiles would see that the streets were
properly lighted.
There is rumor that the new line
of road surveyed and partly graded in
Lake Hendricks district, will not be
built, as the right of way and grade
has been purchased by other roads
whose territory this road infringes
upon. This. however, may be only a
rumor. So far as we are concerned,
we have never felt that this road
would do any particular damage to
White one way or the other.
About six years ago the NJ. E.
church of this. place was burdened
with debt of over eleven hundred
dollars. Little by little this debt has
been lifted until now less than fifty
dollars remains TO be raised, and this
will be accomplished before spring.
1t will be day of rejoicing among
the members when this is finally ac-
comrlished. The church will then
be placed on a business basis and its
bills be paid when they are due.
Writer has been informed that there
is certain place IN town where poker
is played nightly and that it is the
common practice Of those in charge
of the game to get young boys and
men into the same and fleece them Of
every dollar they can raise. If this be
the case it would seem that this sort
of business ought to be stopped. If
those old enough to know better wish
to blow their. money into this sort Of
thing there is no one injured but
themselves, but they have no right to
ruin young boys.

attacked Tien Tsin. By q series
of brilliant charges our troops
drove the enemy from their
positions.
"The native city is still defiant
and the allies are unwilling to
march troops through its streets
as this would mean an immense
slaughter. When the Chinese
saw so large a body of troops
marching westward, they appar-
emily believed they would have
an easy victory over those who
were left.
From various sources come
statements that a large body of
BOxers-some estimating them
at 3,000-is gathering south of
Tien Tsin and threatening COM
munications.
London, Aug. 6.EThis dispatch

resistance than was expected,
and that the Chinese are display
ing considerable generalship.

Tsin and are threatening the
