FARWEEL.F
Farwell, June 11.-South Dakota is
slowly but surely coming into its
own. She is gaining the reputation
toswhich She is entitled and her fame
is gradually getting abroad. If you
want a country where there is just
enough moisture, come to South Da-
kota. II you are looking for a place
with no drawbacks, we would suggest
that you try heaven. Some Of the
farmers in other parts of the country
have been crying for rain, but we
have not e any fields Of grain that
were suffering for the want Of mois-
ture. Friday morning we were blessed
with one of the finest rains one could
ask for. In different sections Of
the country more rain fell than here.
