MILBANK, S. D., FRIDAY, MAY II. 1906

g. E. Mills left Wednesday for
a visit to his old home at Spirit
Lake, Iowa.
Mr.. j. G. Hill and family, of
Sisseton, took the train from
here Tuesday for the Pacific
coast, where Mr.. Hill will seek
restoration of health by change
of climate, being offiicted with a
heart trouble. Mr.. Hill was
formerly treasurer of Roberts
county, and is a G.. A. r. man
who was in Minnesota regi-
ment with Tbos. Fitch during
the war of the rebellion.

more congenial to his declining
years. We learn that Mr.. Nc

That the census which the as
SCISSORS will make this month
may be as near correct as pos
sible, it will be necessary for all
to assist in the work by giving
prompt and correct answers to
the questions asked AS the
enumeration has nothing what
ever to do with taxation or any
thing else except the mere taking
Of the census, every one should
feel personal and public desire
to have the enumeration as per-
feet as possible. Residents of
the city should be particularly
interested in aiding the enumer
ator to secure the name of every
person in the city, with all proper
data.
Last Saturday was a great day
for Milbank in the way of ath-
letic honOrs. While the high
school baseball team were waxing
it to the Montevideo visitors
on the home ground, the basket
ball team of the high school
misses were at Ortonville play
ing a match game with the young
ladies of that town. The team
was in the hands of Prof. Sarvis,
who brought the young ladies
safely home through their first
engagement with flying colors.
The young ladies speak very
highly of the kindly way in which
they were entertained by their
young frien ds at Ortonville, and
they expect to entertain their
hosts for return game in Mil
bank in the near future. Those
new suits of our girls are just
too pretty for any thing, and we
knew they could not help but
win the game.
The senior class of the high
school has placed a number of
their ANNALS, "The Alpha" on
sale at Jens Peterson's post
Office news stand. The Alpha
contains some seventy odd pages,
with sketches OF the faculty and
the class, their trials and their
triumphs as seen from a class
stand point, and various other
matters of interest in poetry
and prose in relation to school
life in the "Milbank high The
book contains some thirty cuts
and caricatures, and having been
printed on the HERALD ADVANCE
presses it is needless to state
that the Typography is of the
artistic character. A copy of
the book will be we'll worth pre-.
serving, not only by graduates
and other pupils, but by the
friends of the school generally.
Those in charge have exhibited
considerable literary and busi-
ness ability in getting out the
annual, and are we'll entitled to
any courtesies that may be shown
them.
