Happy CAL" sometimes known
as Hon. E. w. Caldwell, the veteran
newspaper man OF South Dakota,
made a happy speech on Old Settlers
Day. Caldwell can come again. We
want him to come as often as he can
and there will be nothing too good
for "Call."
MIR. and Mrs. Marshall Whaley
arrived from Minnesota Thursday
evening last. Mrs. Whaley was i'll
at st. Paul for nearly two weeks
before coming home, and was so low
at one time that it was thought
advisable to have her mother, Mrs.
M. Robinson, with her. The latter
was in St. Paul a week before Mrs.
Whaley could stand the journey to
De Smet.
The parade on Old Settlers Day
was as much of a surprise to the peo-
pie of the city as to visitors from
abroad. Owing to the unfavorable
weather of the morning, the parade
was abandoned for good, it was
thought, but later it was decided to
put it on at 1:30 p. m. At that late
hour not many of the business houses
could put in floats. The parade
was a grand success however. To
r. w. Levitt is due the credit for
this exhibition. 1t was through his
untiring efforts that the people. were
induced to take a part and under his
direction that the whole thing was
planned and executed.

Florida and more recently to st.
