AS we write these lines-Wednes-

We often cry for more water in this
~region-but there is such a thing as
having too much water as we'll as
too little OF it. The damage to crops
and farm property in Iowa and Kansas
the past two weeks is ten times great
er than any harm that ever came to
South Dakota for the lack Of it during
the growing season.
The musical and literary entertain
ment at the Presbyterian church last
Saturday evening was we'll patronized

receipts were about $50, which was as
satisfactory as all the rest.
Lyman County Argus: The ~artesian
well outfit which has been at work in
the south part OF this county has
pulled up stakes and quit. They were
down 500 feet when they quit and they

This is a sad disappointment to manv
who thought they would have a large
well on their ranch.
Ask one hundred persons how many
paper dollars it will take to balance a
five dollar gold piece on a set of
scales and they will guess all the way
from fifty to n thousand. Well, it

dollars to weigh as much al a five
dollar gold piece-a paper dollar weigh
ing almost as much as a gold dollar.
The Platte Enterprise has lived
three years and is getting tough
enough to stand all the hard knocks
so peculiar to Chas. Mix newspaperdom

first issue Of the Enterprise was
gotten out on the. GRAPH1c:s press
and we've always had a sort of a
fatherly interest in its success-and
it's thriving-like a healthy pup on
mush and milk.
