Kimball was a deserted Village the
Fourth. Hardly enough men we're
left in town to have put out Il good
fire If 1t got started. Our people SCAT
tered everywhere-some to White
Lake, others to Pukwana and quite a
number into the country to spend the
day with friends. Company ii went
to White Lake and gave a sham bat
tie.
We found this item on our desk one
day this week, left by a volunteer re-
porter:
led Ochsner has a new remedy tor
a lame back. It's a sure cure, and he
knows whereof he speaks. He's tired
lit"
From all reports Ed isn't the only
one that's tried hair vlgor internally,
hereabouts.
Bridgewater Tribune: The Tribune
learned while at Canistota last week
the supporters of Pierre could be
|counted on the fingers OF one hand.
AT Salem the sentiment is rapidly
turning in favor Of Mitchell and it is
confidently predicted by those who
profess to dnow, that there will be
hardly a bakers dozen votes for the
city on the Big Muddy by the time
election day rolls around. No maj in
McCook county has a license to vote
against Mitchell.
1t rained all day yesterday and driz-
zled through the greater part of the
night. Nearly an inch of water fell
and it will make a decided change in
the appearance Of the country within
the next few days and be invaluable to
small grain and all growing crops. The
pastures and prairie was rapidly turn
ing brown in spots-and big spots at
that. Our May and June rainfall was
way below the normal this year, and
the dry streak runs through all the
counties boarding the Missouri from
Charles Mix north.
The corn crop is looking fine, but
small grain hereabouts needs more
rain to make an average yield. The
barley crop looks better than wheat
or oates. Potatoes are also looking
good, but they, too, a stand a good
heavy rain to mature the spuds into
good shape. We have had light Show
lers right along, which have kept
things growing, and no hot winds or
extremely hot weather. The corr is
as far advanced as usual at this time
of year and OF splendid color.
w. j. Kinsella, II Office man, spent
the Fourth in Tyndall, where they
had Il big celebration lasting several
days-and w. j. thinks maybe they're
at it yet. The dance began at 10 a. IN.
and lasted all day and all night. They
had a Bohemian orchestra of seven
horns from Tabor and they made fine
music. The population surrounding
Tyndall is made up largely of Ger
mans, Bohemians and Russians and
they know how to enjoy themselves on
a fete day-even the Americans
greatest holiday better than the
Yankees themselves. w. j. says that
the young people from off the farms
have dead loads of money to spend at
such times. Crops around Avon and
Tyndall are fine, if any thing suffering
from too much wetness.
r.. A. Benedict has disposed of his
store and other interests at Chandler,
Chas. Mix, and will go to Oregon and
Washington to look up a new location
Mrs, Benedict and children have gone
to Nora Springs, Iowa, to visit
Elmer's parents meanwhile. Mr.. and
Mrs. Benedict were early residents of
kimball-though they have been down
IN Chas. Mix SO long few E.ereabouts
remember that they were married
here. Elmer entered the store OF d.
Warner in lss2-a building long ago
demolished and which stood opposite
A. NJ. Bowles' furniture store. Mrs.
Benedict was a daughter of Rev. B. f.
Humphrey, the Methodist parson, and,
by the way, i of the finest girls
kimball ever knew. She has a family
of little girls just like her.
