-
Pat Mcdonald, farmer and stock.
man OF Bon Homme, was q Tabor
visitor Tuesday. Mr.. Mcdonald has
the misfortune to lose 80 hogs from
cholera during the last few weeks.
He estimates his loss at over 81 200.
The dancing party at Reidinger's
hall on Wednesday evening had a light
attendance, but an excellent time Is
reported. The Yankton Mikota Harp
Orchestra furnished good music. A
iine supper was served at Hotel Tabor.
Friday morning, January Is, was
the record breaker for the winter, the
thermometer registering % degrees
below zero at Q a. m. We will con-
Tess right here that we are not the
chap who SHE'D 10 the north corner Of
the house TO look the matter up.
The town OF Tabor is generally ac-
copied as the greatest live stock and
grain marked In the county, and we
can safely add that 10 is the place TO
yet value received for your money
when you wish 10 buy a supply Of
merchandise. Read our advertising
columns which point you where 10
buy goods right.
Fred B~rownsworth, m OF the Tyn-
dali Tribune force, was a Tabor visitor
ON Sunday last. IL might not be n
bad plan To get the above stereotyped,
as Mr.. Brownsworth seldom fails 10
visit our city when Sunday comes. We
do not know the object Of his regular
trips, but have a sneaking idea that
our next door neighbor could en-
tighten us.
The team OF Joseph Dufeck came
into town Oh Wednesday at a mad
pace. Mr.. Duteck was returning from
X. 4. ID, route driving a cutter, and
being chilled he thought 10 step out
aud walk "a short distance. On doing
SO the team became frightened and
ran a distance OF about one mile and
overturned the cutter at the Hanusek
corner. Fortunately but little dam-
age was done.
The Tyndall Triune, In referring TO
the last meeting OF the county COM
mlssioners, says "they sat like
monkeys" We have seen monkeys,
any amount OF them: we have seen
them standing, reclining and sitting,
but when I'm the latter attitude they
are usually on the floor. Is IL possible
that that august body were compelled
TO transact the county's business sit
ting on the floor?
III our issue OF November - we pub
lished the financial statement Of the
State Bank OF Tabor. This weeks
issue contains another financial state
ment OF this thriving institution,
showing the phenomenal increase In
the business I'm SC short a time. In
the matter Of deposits the November
statement showed 500, 800. 50, which
have increased 10, sll7 ,533. %, and the
total footings Of the November state
ment amounted TO sll4.2l5,G9. They
now aggregate sl31 ,l47.s7 IN increase
Of almost $4,000 In the banks bust
ness. We doubt II n better showing
can be made by any banking house In
the state with anything like the
same capital stock and surplus.
V. G. Merck, whose home is mt Lake
port, narrowly escaped freezing on
Friday night, January g. He had at
tended the mid-winter ball at Reid
inger's hall in Tabor and started
home, and when about half the dis
lance was accomplished, he became
bewildered and lost his way, not
reaching his destination until MORN
ing. The night was u bitterly cold,
and when reaching his home he was
In a half frozen condition. IL puzzles
Mr.. Merck's friends how he could get
lost on a road SO familiar TO hlm-per-
haps the maze OF the waltz made him
dizzy, or perhaps the reflection OF
some ~starry-eyed maiden befuddled
his brain; at any rate IL vas an I'M
pleasant experience.
Joseph Viche, OF Cuba, Kansas, who
came here shortly after the arrest Of
Frank Viche, his brother, left for his
home Wednesday, December IL, ac-
companying him was Mrs. Frank
Viche and her two small children.
Frank Viche, with his. wife, came 10
Tabor for the first time about four
years ago, and had only been engaged
la the restaurant business aboutsix
weeks when the tragedy occurred that
has deprived him OF his liberty, OF the
little property he possessed, has brok-
en- up his home and sent his wife PEN
nileSs 10 her former home In Kansas.
Joseph Vichc called OH his brother
Frank at the county Jail, but for rea-
sons best known 10 himself declined
