Deputy Sheriff W. NJ. Smith and
wife of Cambridge observed their
25th wedding anniversary Thursday
evening last. The event was a very

because the Deputy and wife have

who wish him another 25 years of
marital happiness and a joyful Gel

be held in Burlington Thursday, Sep
TENDER 7. A business meeting will
be held in the afternoon and ban
quet in the evening. The committee
having in charge the preparations
for the annual meeting, consisting Of
E. Henry Powell, B. J. Derby and
Gen. T. S. Peck, has been endeavor-
ing to so arrange the meeting that
it might be held near the date of the

banquet, thus enabling the consider
able number who belong to both or
CARNATIONS to attend the meeting Of
each without the necessity of making
an extra Journey for that purpose.

the Home Market club, as well as re-
marks by other well known men. 1t

A Word for the Doctors

Did you ever think what a slaves
life that of the country doctor
is! In season and out of season he
is called to attend the sick. No mat
ter the weather, the distance or the
condition Of the roads, he is expected
to respond readily to hecall for med
ical treatment. 1t matters not how
short the time since he has returned
from his last call; no matter what
the physical condition of the doctor
may be; no matter whether he has
been up all night and has had little
or.no rest, he is expected to obey the
call at once. The doctors are few
that in spite of all these things do
not respond readily to calls for the
relief of the sick.
Then again, did you ever think
that the doctor is generally the last
man to be paid for his services? He
ought to be paid promptly for his
work because he has responded
promptly to calls for him. But he is
not. He trusts people and they
as a rule are slow, very slow, in
paying him. He is easy with his
patients and they are easy with him.
Surely if the la borer is worthy of his
hire, the doctoris worthy of his pay;
he certainly earns it.
No class of men newspaper men of
course excepted) are so charitable as
the doctors. The amount of free
medical service they give the poor is
incalculable. Many are the accounts
that are quietly cancelled or made no
record of because they are against
poor, unfortunate persons who are
unable topay. When leading physi-
clan died in New York a few years
ago his friends disclosed the fact that
for years be had rendered to the poor
gratuitously services worth $4,000.
A Baltimore physician who died the
other day had destroyed his books
that there might be no effort to col
lect fees from his patients who were
unable to pay. The relief of suffer
ing begets generosity and stimulates
sympathy.

Hon. Vim. F. Villas of Wisconsin
made a short visit recently to the
old home of his grandparents, Moses
Villas and wife in Johnson, what was
formerly called Sterling. There, in
the montainside cemetery, repose the
remains of the Senator's ancestors
and a worthy lot of people they were,
as the old residents of this county
can we'll testify. Of such a par
entage as this the Senator may well
feel proud. Little did these sturdy,
hardworking and prudent mountain
farmers think that a descendent of
theirs would fill a position in a

sent one of the great western states

she had accepted provided he would deed over to her his
farm to which he agreed and the wedding day was fixed,
but the wretch later refused to deed the farm over, COM
polling her to go farther west or marry an old codger
there with all the property in his own name. The dis

large trees. Ash, elm, cottonwood and box elder constr

Probably of the many thousands of people whohave
passed through the little pioneer town of Rec Heights
twelve miles west of here few realized that situated on
the steep north slope of the Rec hills about three miles
south Of the village was a small belt of natural timber that
appears to have ~prospered there for ages. Some of the
trees are fairly large and must have afforded a shady
rest for travellers and prospectors of the early days.
Springs of water are common there and the grove must
have offered an attractive harbor for buffalo and deer.
This is the only grove in this range of hills that may be
seen for many miles distant from the north and west.
There are many other larger groves of timber RES
tied in the gulches with brooks running through them,
but they are unknown except to those acquainted with
the country. Besides having withstood the fierce prai-
ire fires of the early years the trees in this grove that
still prosper out in the open facing the north winds
must have been pierced by the poisoned arrows of the
Indian warriors who fought one Of their deadly battles
in and around it. The government troops also fought
the Sioux within bullet distance of this grove. Mounds
show that many were buried in the vicinity as a
result of these battles. The hill upon which this brave
little historic grove stands was filed on and proved up as
a homestead but is used only for grazing.

Friends are about to move in the interest of secur-

stealing. He was sent up from Mitchell and after serv-

on a New Years day going to North Dakota and later
learning the barber trade In Minneapolis under the name
OF Brown. His home was near washington Springs and
after his escape from Sioux Falls the crimes of the sur
rounding country were generally charged up to him, so
he was given credit for numbering Geo. Todd east of

and detectives went to Jerauld county after him, but
not being there his father and two brothers were arrest
and held for trial. In the meantime the United States
