highly spoken of by her acquaintance.
All Webster people will wish the young
couple nothing but happiness, pleasure
and prosperity.

the past three months and want to say,

everything is all right, and l think it
will be, for Chris is a good fellow you

The young men with a gun tried it on
one of their neighbors turkeys in this
county last week. They proved to be
good shots and had a wonderful joke on
their neighbor as they got the turkey at
the first shot. There was q sequal to
the shooting in the shape of a lawsuit.
That turkey cost just fifty dollars and
the Webster market is not usually con-
sidered the best in the country. The
friendly neighbor still has more turkeys
but we will wager a years subscription
that il these boys kill any more Of them
they will buy them before the shooting.
We visited Gollmar Brothers circus
Wednesday through the courtesy OF the
management. The show is not as large
as Barnum g. Battles and Ringing
Brothers, but they present a very
pleasant performance and an afternoons
entertainment that q lover Of that kind
of entertainment cannot afford to miss.
The tumbling, the trapez work and the
wire walking is as good as can be found
anywhere. A very pleasing thing about
this circus is that it was not attended
by the usual gang of grafters. There
were no complaints came to our ears OF
people who had been separated from
their money through sharpers. We can
commend the circus and recommend it
as a nice clean lot of ladies and gentle
men to others cities in Dakota which
they visit. That is the reputation they
left with Webster.
Mesdames Egge and Smith, who
attended the meeting of the Woman's
clubs at Watertown last week, returned
home the last of the week. They report
! a very pleasant time during the entire
session despite the fact that the weather
was very moist all week. The follow
ing officers were elected for the state
organization for the ensuring year:
President, Mrs. Lumley, of Pierre;
vice president, Mrs. Coquillete, of
Miller; secretary, Mrs. S~tuttenroth, of
Watertown; treasurer, Mrs. Fisk, of
Gettysburg. The interesting features
Of the program were the steroptican
lecture of Prof. E. G.. Routzan, of the
American League of Civil Improve
ment, the lecture of Mrs. Dibble, presi-
dent of the Courant publishing company
ON the work of clubs in Minnesota,
Wisconsin, North and South Dakota.
The vocal and instrumental music and
readings by the best of Watertown's
local talent. The principal social feat
ures was the reception given at the
home of Mrs. Norris. The Webster
ladies speak very pleasantly of the cor
dial treatment they received during
their visit at Watertown.
The future Of all countries depends
wholly upon two things-the condition
of the soil and the push, energy and
thrift Of her citizens. A country or
county which has these develops rapidly
and soon assumes a prominent place
among others Of her kind The past
years Of South Dakota's history has
developed the fact that there is no bet.
Der county in the state for agricultural
pursuits and the various business enter
prises that rely thereon than Day
county. There have been attracted to
this county a class of people, who, by
hard work, frugality and economy have
builded for themselves a competency
and for their county a very enviable
reputation. Many Of these farmers
have friends who still reside upon the
high priced lands of the east and they
are in correspondence with them at
various times trying to induce them
to come to Day county and share in the
prosperous conditions here offered as
reward for hard work and honest effort.
Many will be induced to come. You
who have friends in the east whom you
know are thinking nov Of moving into
this county can do those same friends
an exceptionally good turn by placing
them in communication with some per-
son who has these Day county lands to
dispose Of. Among all the people deal
ing in Day county real estate there is
none more reliable than L. Gross. He
is the pioneer land man of the county.
He has found homes here for a great
many and they are all well satisfied
