The Literary society has made

a joint debate with the neighboring
society at Reading. 1t is planned TO
have three debaters, ins each side
and occupy the entire evening in

DR.. Burris of Nova Scotia, arrived
Thursday of last week with the
intention of locating in Rushmore..
A few days previous DIR. Rankin had
come to our town decided to locate
and ordered his Office furniture

of DR. Burris. The later went to
Worthingon where he will locat..
On Wednesday evening Of last
week the home Of section foreman
Murray was tho scene of a merry
party of children who had gathered
to commorate the birthday of Mr..
and Mrs. Murray's 5 year old
daughter Vera. A large number
were present and enjoyed themselves
with games and laughter. Supper
was served and the children found
that it was going home time all too
soon.
On Saturday last County Physician
Car1el and Burr Ludlow drove north
to try and located crazy man who
was wandering from house to house
and terrifying the women in the
vicninty. 1t was found that the
fellow had stopped at every house
within a radius of six miles. After
half days seacrh it was found he
had gone west and was let to paddle
his own canoe. Since we have been
told that authorities from Ardian
went north and picked him up re-
pardless of resistance. @
Few towns have in their midst q
natural cartoonist who can sketch
at will and give something worth
looking at. E. L. Wemple does this
with the greatest ease and rapidity
but SO seldom does he do such work
that each time it is like starti ng
over for him, to get ideas of human
forms on paper with one or two
scratches of the pen. His sketches
are true to life and comical rs we'll.
Such a talent should be cultivated.
Prior to his coming west Mr.. Wemple
was with the Singer Sewing Machine
Co. and did all decorating off hand.
On Friday night was held the
regular session of Literary and the
following subject discussed ''Does
Educa ton do more in the foundation
of character than nature" E. G.
Edwards and Rev. Leazer supported
the Aft. whilo c. W. Hall and j. g.
Mitchell argued for the defense who
gained the debate. j. G. Nit chell
read the literary paper. The two
selections in form of a duet given
by the Leazer children was excellent.
1t is hoped the next regular debate
will be sessions between Rushmore
and Reading.
Trains have somewhat changed in
time on the branch. The morning
accommodation now gets in at 8
o'clck and will be on time as the
train is made up the day previous:
On it's east run it will arrive in
Rushmore at S:35 a. m. One hour
later than formerly. The night train
going east will arrive 40 minutes
earlier. The other trains are the
same as before. This will be a con-
venience especially in the morning.
for the train will run more nearly
on scheduled time. One draw back
however will be that Rushmore will
receive Sioux Citv freight one day
later than usual. In remaining in
Worthington for each day until the
following morning where formerly
1t was made up the same day. .
