Not many kids were left in town on

95 Monday and So Tuesday. A little
shower cooled the air Tuesday night
and Wednesday was much more COM
Portable.
In the twenty years we have lived in
this country the writer never saw
crops looking as well as they do now
from Mitchell to Kimball. Aurora
county will have the best crops it ever
raised, we think-and Brule will chase
her right to the wire.
The semi-annual distribution Of
the interest and income fund to the
schools of the state gives Brule county
this year S3567. This is at the rate of
