The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1904-04-29


Henry Independent: You can tell
a successful farmer by looking at his
horses. You can tell a s%lovenly wo-
man by looking at her hair. You can
tell the dry goods box statesman by
the patches on the bosom ofhis panta-
looms. You can tell the poisonous
serpent by the bluntness of his tail.
But:thc easiest thing OF all you can
tell the cntcrprising merchant by a
glance at the local papers.
Floater: Mark Twain tells of a
man who when he came home drunk
explained to his wife that his condi-
tion was due to the fact shat he had
mixed his drinks. "John," his wife
advised, "when you have drunk all
the whiskey you want, you ought to
ask for sarsaparilla." Eyes,; retort-
ed her husband. "but when l have
drunk all the whiskey l want l
can't say sarsaparilla."
a great many South Dakota towns
are organizing societies having for
their object the improving and beau
tifying of their towns and especially
the resident portions thereof. The
members of these clubs devote parti-
cular attention to the subject of neat
and attractive lawns, the encourage
ment Of tree planting, flower growing
and everything else calculated to
make the town pretty and attractive
to the eye OF visitors.
The prohibition party of the state
has issued a call for a convention at
Mitchell June s. They are going into
the field with a full tickct-presiden-
tial electors, congressman, judges and
state of1icers-if they can find enough
pa triots to make the race-which is
extremely doubtful. An unusual
feature of the convention will be the
admission of women as delegates and
all prohibitionists who are residents
Of the state. There will be no ma
chine or anti-machine: no packing Of
caucuses, wire pulling or hair pulling
and no credentials are required. But
you'll have to keep sober.
White Lake Standard: Monday
night there was shipped from White
Lake a a load of eggs by Mcssrs.
Ferguson and Walker which they had
bought up during the last two weeks.
This we understand is the first time d
full a of eggs has been shipped from
this point. In point Of value we
doubt if there has ever been a car of
produce of any kind shipped from here
| which would amount to any more
money than this Il of eggs. There
were 472 cases in the car and the
cost including cases averaged over
$3.50 per cas- which amounts to more
that 81, 100. All honor to the South
Oak ota hen.
AT Armory hall last night Noblc's
Theatre company presented the sem
sational comedy drama entitled
folks Up Wolf Creek" to a large
and appreciative audience. The play
was an interesting one and brought
out some startling situations and cll-
MAKES. Vernun Lee, the ambitious
young man from up Wolf creek was
well presented by MI. Warren Noble,
who was perfectly at home in this
character and equal to every emer-
gency. The entire cast was very good,
the scenery fine, and the large audi
encc vas delighted with the produc-
tion. This company will close their
engagement In this city tonight with
a superb productions Of "Miss Hur-
sey from jersey" We are not often
treated to as good a company as is Mr..
Mobiles and considering the stage
disadvantages, his Company gives the
people Of the city as near their mon.
cy's worth, as any company which has
been at Canton for many a long day.
1t is to be hoped that they will not be
long in making a return engagement.
