Probably the most enterprising
Catholics in the state are those resid-
ing in Colman and vicinity. Notwith-
standing that there are only ten Catho-
lie families in the town and adjacent
country, they recently completed a
handsome new church building, which
cost complete the sum of $1,000. A
great deal of the necessary money was
contributed by persons who are not
Catholics, but the work of erecting the
new church was undertaken and
brought to a successful conclusion by
members of the ten families. The new
church edifice was recently dedicated
with appropriate exercise.

Tuesday morning in response to a mes
sage stating that Mrs. Thompson was
much worse, in fact, she is so weak,
fears are entertained that she will not
survive the trip home. Mrs. Thomp-
son went to Colorado some months ago
in the hope that a change of climate
would improve her health and it
seemed for a time the hope would be
realized but for some time past she has
been steadily failing and Mr.. Thomp
son has gone to bring her home if
possible. Mr.. aud Mrs. Thompson have
the sincere sympathy of every one in
their affliction and that Mrs. Thomp-
son may yet recover her strength is the
earnest prayer of this entire community.
Webster is to have a candy factory
which is the latest thing for this city in
enterprise. Mr.. E. M. Mirras, who is
the proprietor of this establishment,
comes to this city from Pittsburg, Pa,
and has the reputation of a master of
the art. Mr.. Mirras spent some weeks
in this part Of South Dakota looking for
a good location and after visiting several
towns decided that Webster offered the
best Opportunities for a candy factory
and he has rented the old bakery on
lower Main street and is now busy get
ting it in shape for operation. Already
he has received his supplies and will by
next week be making candy. This adds
greatly to the manufacturing interests
of Webster and will no doubt be n of
the leading candy houses in South
Dakota.
