The "National Corn. !"

Under Sioux Falls date of July 2S,
the following special to the Sioux City
Journal, states that IAN ear Of corn
carried in the grand parade of the G..
A. R. at the national encampment Of
1900 was presented by South Dakota
comrade to J. r. Ray, of Salem, Mo.
Mr.. Ray took it home and gave it a
place of honor in his parlor, where it
remained for some months, exciting
the admiration of all callers. One of
these was a brother in-law from Texas.
He begged the gift of the ear of South
Dakota corn and took it home with him
and planted it. The corn grew 80
much faster than the native corn of
Texas that it attracted attention as q
new and valuable variety. 1t was sug-
gested that in view of the circum-
stances of its arrival in Texas it be
named the National-in honor of the
national encampment Of the G.. A. r.
This name was selected and hence
South Dakota has the honor of furnish
ing to the south the National corn.

A Gathering Of the Pioneers
of Hudson at the House
of VIM. H. Ball.

On Sunday last there occurred at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. H. Ball,
east Of this city reunion of the peo-
pie who located in the Sioux Valley at
Eden or what is now the town of Hud-
son. 81 years ago or in 1900. The
company comprised Mr.. and Mrs. L. F..
Farley, parents of Mrs. H. Loonan.
Mrs. NJ. Ball, Of Oakdale, California
sister law to w. II. Ball and Mr.. and
Mrs. Ball. The occasion was compli-
mentary to Mrs. NJ Ball who is So
journing with her relatives here and
will go to the Buffalo Exposition be-
fore returning to Oakdale.
The conversation upon the occasion
of the gathering at the Ball home very
naturally turned to early days in Hud-
son or Eden. It was recalled that Mr..
Farley built the first farm house in
that section of the Sioux Valley. Mr..
Ball built the first store building which
was subsequently converted into a
dwelling house on the townsite. It
was the first plastered house and it ex-
cited much neighbor talk and COM
ment. Mr.. Ball had not been given to
putting on many airs before that, the
idea of plastering his house was too
much for the natives.
Mr.. Farley held the handles of the
18 inch breaking plow ard E j. Har-
ris drove the team consisting of four
yokes of oxen which turned the first
sod in Eden township.
The first meeting for the organiza.
ton of the Eden school district was
held in Mr. Balls front yard. There
was no hall in the neighborhood large
enough to hold the audience, 50 the
farmers drove to the Ball home in their
wagons and sat in them during the
meeting for the organization of the
school district and the determination
TO build school house was reached at
that meeting.
The first meeting for the organiza-
tion of church society was held in
Balls yard and out Of it grew the Eden
Congregational church.
In those days the houses in that sec.
tion of the Sioux Valley were either
sod or log structures with here and
there frame house of more pretension.
Buck Wheelock now of Sioux Falls,
built the first honse on the tuwnsite.
Frazeir Gilman was another Of the
pioneers and he has recently gone east
to look after the division OF The fortune
of brother who died leaving several
million dollars to his heirs and rela-
tives -Yankton Dakotian.

Hanson Recaptured.

The Sioux City Journal in reporting
the movements of Ed. Hanson states:
Ed Hanson, Sioux City butcher, who
was captured in Sioux City after fee
ing from Lake City, where his employ
er was robbed of about $3.50, and taken
back to that town, given preliminary
hearing and bound over to the grand
jury, committed to Jail and then broke
Jail, has been recaptured. The fellow
walked into Fort Dodge restaurant
and sat down beside the sheriff of
Webster county, who at the time was
reading a card offering reward for
Hanson.

x 2 p
The following is reprinted from the
St. Paul, MINI. Dispatch. giving an
account of recent reception rendered
to Mrs. Col. E. NJ. Brown, mother Of
Mrs. Arthur Linn. The Dispatch says:
Through q descendent in the first
generation Of soldier Of the American
Revolution St. Paul paid tribute this
afternoon to the creators of the repub-
lic."
Mrs. Jerusha Hayward Brown, of
Walnut street, was an honored guest
at reception given at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. M. Prouty, Summit
avenue, in celebration of her 18th
birthday, by the st. Paul chapter. D.
A. r. Tomorrow is the S0th birthday
of Col. Edward NJ. Brown, Mrs.
Browns husband. and he was greeted
by the several hundred visitors who
called. Col. Brown is an unusually
close descendent of revolutionary he
roes, both his grandfathers, Soloman
Brown. and Israel Bartlett, having
been among the original defenders of
the Declaration of Independence. Col.
Brown was with Gen. Butler at New
Orleans, during the Civil War. Mr..
and Mrs. Brown were both born in
Vermont, the latter at Strafford. They
celebrated their golden wedding in
May 1896.
Mrs. Brown remembers perfectly her
father, who died when she was 13 years
of age, and when he was g. He was o
tall man and very soldierly in his bear
ing, with white, curely hair, and q
smooth shaven face, his hair had been
white since he was 20 years old having
turned from brown to snowy white
during the years he fought under Gen.
erals Green and Heath. Mr.. Hayward
was . soldier in Capt. James Dana's
company, David Waterbury's battalion
which was raised for coast defense.
He was also for several years under
Heath's orders on the Westches,er line.
Mrs. Brown is the youngest and only
surviving daughter Of Mr.. Hayward.
and she has for four years received a
pension granted by special act of con-
gress to original sons and daughters Of
revolutionary soldiers. She is also the
possessor of two golden spoons given to
her by the national D. A. r. society in
honor Of her direct descent in the first
generation and the other by Mrs. D. A.
Monfort, regent for Minnesota. on her
fiftieth wedding anniversary. Mrs.
Brown is even now handsome woman
with gray curls coiled in an old.fash.
ioned style. and features of type often
seen in colonial portraits. She stood
this afternoon in setting of patriotic
emblems. With the beautiful silken
folds of the American flag were ming.
led the blue and whiteDf the d. A. r.
The flowers used in decking the rooms
were blue and white, as we'll, and the
wealth of green was emblamatic of the
manner in which the memories of the
first generation of Americans are
guarded. |
Receiving with Mrs. Brown and Mrs
Prouty were Mrs. E E. Sanford, re.
gent of the St. Paul chapter; Mrs. ]. G.
Hill. Mrs. S. B. Crosby, Mrs. Maurice
