Fertile Section Of State,

C9dington county lies in the eastern
portion of the state, and is in the midst
OF very fertile section. The land is quite
me: equal, of land in the older parts of
Mmneso5a' and the crops are sure and
Dountlful.. Most Of it is now under cul-
ovation and there is practically no raw
land to be purchased but improved land
can be- obtained at surprisingly reason
a aE rates The prices range from $50 to
and the character of the improvements
Wnlch nave been made upon them. The
acreage devoted to corn is increasing
every year for the farmers have met
with the most fattering success in rails
ing this great staple, the yield in many
cases being phenomenally large.
Inc carrying interests in Codington
county are very large and almost every
10 Wn posses possesses 1 a creamery, and some
OF registered cattle, which bring their
owners the highest prices when they are
placed on the market The raising OF
nogs mas grown to be one of the most
important industries in the county, and
almost every farmer devotes a part Of his
attention to the fattening Of his pork
ers, realizingza tidy income from them
as they are ready for market.
NO one can travel thru Codington coun-
y Y without enot, being deeply impressed with
everywhere you find comfortable farm
houses, large barns, and acres of produc-
i've SOIL; The small villages and towns
present the same prosperous appearance
and IN Watertown there is the busy en-
ergetic life Of a growing, enterprisine
There are many fine opportunities fol
the investment of capital there and with
conditions as favorable as they are al
present there can be no reasonable doubt
OF It's future mercantile success.
The period of uncertainty has Ions
gone by, never to return, and for those
who seize the openings which are now t
be had for manufacturing or jobbing
wholesale or retail business, q wonderful
future lies waiting, ;. 2

with a visit.
1.-THE painters studio was on the

princess always and never marry another
lady1"
Miss Hartly's lips smiled. "Yes," she
replied, "it is pretty story, but you have
told only part of 1.-THE mans side"
The girl paused and glanced at Roger,
but his eyes were on the ground. ''It
may be-" she paused again.. to choose her
words, that the princess did not care for
the glitter and gayetv of the court; per-
haps she, too, preferred the fields and
a simple, sensible life But princesses
may not do as they like" the words were
coming fast and tvehemently now, "they
are hedged about and-how do you know
that, though this princess danced at
court" the girl drew a quick breath, as
if bracing herself for something difficult,
cher heart was not with the shepherd all
the while"
This time it was Roger who looked up,
but Miss Hartly's head was bent. They
had forgotten Winifred, who, with a
childs wonderful wisdom, kept very still.
