An Agricultural Showing.

Mr.. N. S. Tubbs' threshing machine,
which left Custer Monday, the 18th, ar
rived here the l1th and was set up at
the Tubbs ranch, west of the city. and
on the 18th, for the first time in nearly
seven years, the hum of the separator
was heard in this vicinity.
Six experienced threshers came with
the machine and with the help of the
neighbors the threshing was finished
Monday.
About 2,40O bushels of grain, two
thirds being oats, one third barley and
wheat, and small mountain of straw
containing nearly five hundred tons
was the inventory taken after thresh-
ing. Tho straw is we'll mixed with
alfalfa and will make excellent fodder
which is large item alone, the wheat
could not be eXcelied by any Other
state in the union.
The grain is the product of only zoo
acres of land which Mr. Tubbs has un
der irrigation and plainly shows the
fertility of the soil in this region, i
gives us an excellent illustration O
what the surrounding country ma.
become if we obtain the long needed
irrigation facilities and shows also i,
what manner the prosperity of the cit.
proper may be assured.
Mr.. Tubbs inform us that he bad al
unusually fine crop of potatoes. He ha
sowed the 200 arcres with alfalfa an,
expects to be rewarded with larg
crop next year.-Edgemont Express.

j. b. Potter went to Piedmont to
spend Christmas with his family.
Frank Limpo took discharge and
went to Sisseton last Saturday.
Miss Rose Bower, of Keystone, is here

family.
Miss Brock, of Sheridan Wyo.,

spending her vacation here.
Christmas was red letter day. No
body could fail to enjoy such weather
and everything about the program was
in keeping with the weather. We had
a dinner fit for the gods and an oyster
supper followed by wedding.
Little Jimmie Bentley. the doctors
son met with severe accident last
Monday evening. While "helping" his
father water the horse the animal in
plunging kicked the little fellow in the
| face, breaking the bridge of the nose
and knocking him senseless for a few
minutes. His father picked him up
and ran into the house where the hurt
was attended to and Jimmie is doing
as we'll as can be expected, though it is
feared he will bear the marks of the
accident long while. Jimmie is a
general favorite, being bright, manly
little chap.
sXSThe marriage ceremony on Christmas
evening which joined Carl Nelson and
Miss Jessie Andre was performed by
Rev. j. w. Morris in the presence of a
host of friends and we'll wishers. Carl
has many friends among the members
of the Home, some of whom proved
very practical in their remembrances
as instead of making presents in the
usual foolish manner they "chipped in
their dollars to the number of forty
three, which the commandant took and
stuffing the notes into wee little pair
of stockings presented them to the
bride. After receiving the congratula
tions of those present the wedding
party went to the home of the brides
mother where a reception was held.

PROFITABLE FARMING
The Dakota Farmer Relates Some Inter

Black Hills Farming.

The p,,xota Farmer Relates Some Inter
esting Facts About Profits From
Black Hills Farming.
Editor M. F.. Greeley, of the Dakota
Farmer. whose word and reputation are
synonyms of honesty and honor, gives
the following accurate results OF farm
ing in the Black Hills region:
ssWe never visit the lands west of the
Missouri river i'm the Dakotas. particu-
larly the irrigated sections in and trib-
utary to the Black Hills, but what we
are surprised and pleased with their
possibilities for producing, and Incl
dentally with their ability to carry
dense population. When we say this,
we would not be understood as in the
remotest way backing up the statements
made by some over greedy land agents
and boomers. that these sections are as
perfectly adapted to general agricul-
t,1re as more eastern parts or states,
for we know they are not, and we wash
our hands of the objectionable crime
of inducing inexperienced men with
small means and large families to risk
the little they have by such false state
ments. Still we are constantly sur
prised at the carrying capacity OF much
of this land, when properly handled,
and that largely with irrigation. We
have referred before to the great yields
of alfalfa on such ranch farms as Con-
gresham Martins near Buffalo Gap,
and others farther east. Sometime ago
we mentioned the surprising yields OF
fruit and vegetables ON the grounds
surrounding the Normal school at
Speartish: and also, the large amount
of money taken from few acres of
small fruit 10y President Cook OF the
same school.
.'But alfalfa and fruit is not all that
can be proiitably grown there. From
twenty acres planted to potatoes we
found President Cook. a short time ago,
shipping about $3.50 worth OF as fine
potatoes as we ever saW-that is, they
net him that above freight charges,
These potatoes, by the way, were grown
without irrigation; but they were grown
by an experienced man, and it is we'll
known by all Dakotans, that the past
two years have been exceptionally
moist ones Mr. Cook himself does not
count at all on growing crops so near
the Montany line without irrigation.

does better than in the moister ones,
and still makes it's greatest yields with
light irrigation. One man in Speartish
told us he had grown as high as 52O
bushels of potatoes to the acre on his
ranch, where alfalfa had been crowns
but that this was the largest yield he
had ever made or heard of in that sec
tion 1T is but fair to say that this lard
had been subsoiled deeply the year pre-
vious. In the eastern part of the Da-
kotas we all think it takes about a
quarter section tc support a family, but
in the Speartish valley, from ten to
twenty acres will do this nicely; and we
know OF one man there who, with four
acres, is supporting his family and ed
ucating his children"

Base Ball.

That interest in the greatest of all /
American outdoor sports base ball, has
not waned in the least is amply evidenced |
by the fact that in every town in Central
Kentucky the National game is being !
boosted by thousands of its adherents
In every little village and hamlet the swat
of the pig-skin is an every day occurrence,
The hold that this great game has attained
on Americans is remarkable. Here in
Paris, where its devotees still worship
with undated ardor some daring spirits
have braved the usual Partisan indif-
ference to Paris enterprises, and have or
ganized an association of ball-tossers
second to none in the State. Though a
little slow in. striking their gait they have
at last forced the attention of the people
| by series of well-won victories On next
Sunday afternoon they will cross bats
with the Louisville Stars, semi-profes-
sional team from Louisville, and one of
the best-known of the many good teams in
that city. Paris sports still remember
such teams as the Deppens, the Mace
Vetters, and others from Louisville that
have played here, and the Stars rank
equally as high as they. The local team
will be greatly strengthened for the oc-
casion and good game may be looked for.
Attend the game and encourage the boys
by your presence. You old fans who
used to patronize the game long ago, have
you entirely lost interest? Don't you re-
member what a thrill went through you
when you Witnessed good play on either
side? And don't you know how you
"rooted'' for the home team? Come out
to see the game Sunday afternoon, and
lose few of the years that are creeping
upon you.
A member of the local team remarked to
a NEWS man yesterday: 81 hope the
News will try to induce our manager to
stretch about two strans of good stout
wire from home plate to point near first
base. and one from the same place to near
third, also one back of the catchers posi-
ton. The crowds that come to see the
game press constantly forward inside the
lines, and the ladies who attend the game
have hard time 'rubberng to see play
made. This feature added on the loca
grounds would be the means of securing
much larger attendance, and would Civ,
the ladies to witness the game withou
having to go up in a balloon or climb ;
tree. The ladies are not the only one
who suffer, either, for there are others
No matter how often tbs crowd is pressed
back it gradually forces or creeps NJ
again, until those behind have small
. chance of seeing anything"

Resolutions.

Resolutions of respect adopted by Paris
Lodge No 373. B. P. 0. Elks, upon the
death of George D. Mitchell:
George D. Mitchell, whose death occur
red June 26, 1904, became member of
this lodge on September 1, 1897 He had
previously been member of the Lexing-
ton Lodge, having joined the order be-
fore lodge was instituted here.
He had spent most of his life in news
paper work and was for time editor and
publisher of the BOURBON News.
The character of the man was reflected
in his work. 1t was always pure in tone
and indicated high appreciation of the
duties of the citizen in all the walks and
relations of life.
He was for many years an invalid, but
he suffered uncomplainingl and evinced
a degree of patience and fortitude that was
altogether unusual.
AS man, as a friend, as q brother and
as citizen he was an example of all that
could be desired. He was true and loyal
to every obligation as an Elk, and was
always ready and more than willing TO
promote the interests of the order in any
way he could. His virtues will be re-
membered, as only Elks remember the
virtues of absent or departed brothers.
His death has cast a gloom over this
lodge, every member of which deeply feels
his loss.
The newspapers cf the lily are request
ed to publish these resolutions. They are
ordered to be spread on the minutes Of the
lodge. and the Secretary is instructed to
send a copy of them TO his brothers and
sisters, to whom this lodge desires TO ,x-
press its deepest sympathy.
