The Bon Homme County independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1904-1913, 1905-01-05

Married, at st. Wencesalus
Catholic church at Tabor, at IL
a. m. the very Rev. Father
Bouska officiating. Miss Chris
tine Rochadl and Chas. Freidel.
The young people are well
known. having resided eight
miles north of Tabor for some
time past. Their many friends
extend congratulations.
c. c. florence and Edgar EN-
mons took a drive into Nebraska
the fore part of the week which
resultd in a few car loads of grain
and stock finding its way to this
market later. Wide-a-wake men
in charge of the grain and stock
business in Tabor have won for
us the reputation of being one OF
the best markets in the state.
All these long years Mr.. Henry
Evans has been missing good
things in the line of hog markets
until recently when he made the
acquaintance of the Tabor mark
cts. He came to the conclusion
to do all his hauling across the
river to Tabor to do his pocket
book justice. He came lined up
with thirteen wagon loads of fat
hogs. That's going some, eh?
From the first publication of
the Bon Homme County indie
pendent we have endeavored to
send our subscribers a clean,
newsy paper and to give you
value received for your money.
AS stated in our last weeks
issue, a disastrous fire has COM
PEELED us to abbreviate our usual
edition, both as to space and
news. We will remedy this at
the first possible moment, and
try and make the Independent as
good or better than il has been
before.
NJ. NJ. Hamlin. of Omaha,
Nebr., adjuster for the Phoenix,
and A. l.. Reed, of Aberdeen, for
the German American Insurance
Co.. were in Tabor Tuesday, fix
ing the losses caused by the re-
cent fire. That of the Independ-
ent plant insured in the Phoenix
was amaciably adjusted, the loss
being placed at S225.00. Jos.
Kukrall's loss was also made
good by the German American,
the amount allowed Mr.. Kukrall
being Sl6S. Wagner Bros, local
agents for both companies, are
to be congratulated, not only in
being hustling insurance solicit
tors, but in securing prompt and
just settlements in losses.
In u last issue we printed
from the Springfield Times our
brothers lament not unmixed
with sarcasm that his sheet did
not secure the county printing
for 1905. II does beat the dutch,
so to speak, but we tried our best
to get il through our brothers
rhionocerous hide that he was
lending his support to the Philis-
tines last fall, and that as soon
as the game was bagged by the
gang for whom he was roofing,
that he would not secure even a
feather. But in spite of our re-
monstrance the perverse kid turn
ed a deaf ear to our logic and in
the fulhllment of prophecy, ''the
south half" is in the soup, a IS far
as county printing is concerned.
IL will be remembered that when
a good square dealing democratic
board gave the county printing
to the Times two years ago, that
they were acting for honest dis
tribution of that meager patron
age, and we agree with the editor
of the Times that the ''south
half" of the county has every
right to read the legal affairs OF
the county, and that the glory
of turning down the very men
who handed that patronage to
the Times two years ago, is a
measly compensation for printing
commissioners proceedings for
nothing during a republican adj
ministration. II is awful, but il
is Bon Homme county republic
canism which thus early in the
game is beginning to yield the
knife. Don't get excited Brother;
it was only an accident that
elected them and we haven't the
least doubt that il you are good,
two years from now a democratic
