-Jira Payne was exhibiting a
branch from a currant bush Wed.
nesday that beat all we ever saw in
that line. The branch was about
eighteen inches long and hung as
full Of fluit as it could grow. There
must have been close to a quart
hanging on that short branch. The
bushes had received no particular
care, had had no water except what
fell in the natural way, and therefore
the sample shown by Mr.. Payne
was a fair testimonial as TO what
South Dakota soil can produce IN
that line of fruit.

ter was lying on the ground, kicking
him in the chin and infiicting inter
nal injuries to his chest which for a
day or two appeared to be OF a very
serious nature. Adolph is improving
