attended the farmers meeting in that

The very satisfactory sale of the
court house bonds Wednesday speaks
volumes for the prosperity of South
Dakota in general and of Day county in
particular. When $4,000 worth of
five per cent five year optional bonds
will sell at premium of 81, 800 as our
bonds did Wednesday, it is pretty
good showing, and that they were in
demand is shown by the fact that there
we're sixteen bidders for the bonds. Our
board is to be congratulated on the
manner in which the business was con-
Quoted, but it Is only another exempli-
| fcation of the fact that Day county has
one of the best boards on earth. The
successful bidders for the bonds were
Otis, Wilson 81 Co, bankers, of Chicago,
who We're represented by Hyatt Cox.
A newspaper has two things to sell
subscriptions and advertising space. Its
publishers labor to make both worth the
price asked, and its patrons are those
who want it's wares and have the money
to pay for them. To say that a merch-
ant who lives in another town shall not
use advertising space in the local paper
is to deny the paper the right to dobusi-
ness on the same lines that the merchant
conducts his affairs--that of selling to
any reputable buyer who has the price.
To deny an nnobjectionable advertiser
space at the same rate others pay, is also
to violate the implied provisions under
which the paper is admitted to the
mails as second-class matter, for one of
the declarations made in securing entry
of any publication as second-class mail
matter is in answer to the question,
"Can any house in good sthnding adver-
tise in your publication at the regular
published rates?" Earlville (Illinois)

Aberdeen was visited by bad fire
Sunday night, the damage is estimated
at $25, 900. Fire was discovered in the
basement of the Northwestern Bank
/ building at ten o'clock and burned
fiercely until one, when it was gotten
under control by the fire department,
which again demonstrates that Aber-
deem has one of the best equipped fire
departments both in apparatus and fire
laddies of any city in the northwest. In
speaking of the firemen the Aberdeen
News has the following:
The Aberdeen fire department won
new laurels last night, its work being
of character to win praise from every
body. Many people thought when word
came down that the fire had broken
through the second floor in the rooms of
the Granger Business School that the
case was hopeless one, but the depart
ment proved its efficiency as it has done
in so many instances in the past Per-
haps the highest compliment received
was from a member of the party that
was at Fargo when the big fire occurred
a few weeks ago He said that this fire
was UNNECESSARILY worse to handle than
the one in the North Dakota city, where
the loss was in the hundreds OF
Il thousands
! G. j Bach, commissioner of school
and public lands, came up from Pierre

I chase the bonds as the offer was beyond
his limit, but to his presence here is due
to great extent the handsome premium
