The Rev. Joseph Bartill has been
appointed pastor of the Holy Trinity

copius Church.
A basket social was held one day
lately at the residence OF Mr.. ard Mrs.
Michael Campion, in the Maylield
district, Yankton Co., and it was a big
success, financially and otherwise. 1t
was given by the Ladies' Altar Society
and they cleared 500, which they
donated to the new church fund.
A fine new church will be built this
summer at Bonesteel and already
sufficient funds are on hand to warrant
the erection of a good sized structure
The management hopes that when the
building is finished it will be entire
ly free Of debt. Several mont Catholics
of the town have subscribed generous
ly.
A beautiful set of Stations of the
Cross were blessed by the Rev. j.

the Sacred Heart Church, Yankton,
last week, and the pastor, Rev.
Laurence Link was assisted by Rev.
Fathers Burns, Redmond, Egan and
other neighboring priests.
Mitchell will have one of the finest
hospitals in the state. 1t will be
owned and operated by the Presenta-
ton Nuns, and when completed, it
will equal in size any similar institu-
ton of the kind in South Dakota. The
Mitchell Daily Republican of the LIST
speaks about it as follows:
Mother Joseph, who was here yes
proposition, was shown the site that
is to he donated for the project, and
she expressed herself as being we'll
pleased with it and with the loca-
ton. She considered that Mitchell
offered good advantages for the es.
Establishment of hospital, being as 1t
is in a rich section of the state and
with liberal amount of territory to
draw from. She was in favor of the
|
or brick in preference to a frame
structure, starting it with wing and
charging as the case demanded.
Mother Joseph expects to return to
Mitchell in the course of two weeks
and have a conference with the pro-
fesisonal men and citizens and lay
before them proposition, which if
accepted will doubtless mean the cree
ton Of the hospital.
