Communication.
Wolsey, South Dakota.
February oath 19O6

Editor Mo. Valley Times Sir,
| thought l would write you a
few lines this evening, as we
have moved to Wolsey, S. D.,
and desire you to send our pa
per to this place, as we do not
wish to miss a number.
We are all well, and enjoying
very fine weather; the snow has
all disappeared and the ground
has about thawed out and the
farmers have began to make
arrangements to SOW wheat and
break prairie, and tits very
surprising to see so many new
houses going up all over this
country, and people here are
beginning to think that South
Dakota is not the worst country
on earth after all.
A. j. Hatcher, from Logan,
Iowa, has his new house about
completed. He and his sons
bought a section of good land,
just a half mile north of ours,
and are we'll pleased with their
new home. No special news in
this new country.
Yours &C.,
Mrs. Robert Hatcher.

my horses, one COW, some chick
ems, calf, farming utensils,
corn. hay, and left us out on the
open prairie without anything.
During the nights the wolves
would come around and make
a fearful noise, which kept our
feeling all stirred up.
1t now looks as though we are
to have cheap eggs this Sum-
mer, 124 cents per dozen now,
when we only get 4 or 5, what
will they be when we get 40 to
so per day?
Mr.. and Mrs. Alva Keeny
made us a visit the other day.
They say they are liable to part
with their barometer. They
won't know how to tell the state
of the weather ahead when they
go.
Last Friday Mrs. Jones gave
the Frazier district a success
full school closing.
When l was going to town on
Saturday, | saw 3 hunters, all
dressed up in hunting style; 60
ing to a little pond of water
west of Mr.. Antrums place, ex-
pecting to bag ever so many of
the duck tribe. If they secure
one lone crow they will do we'll.
When our ditch gets dug up,
would it not be a good plan for
all of us to have a ride on the
boat? 1t is 20 feet wide and
can be made as many more feet
'ong;; then take a ride up and
down the ditch to inspect the
work. Time enough, however,
to think about this matter.
Will Rowe, Jr., from Sleepy
Hollow, will move into house
north of John Becker, and farm
some land this Summer for Mr..
Steene.
John Rowe, the attorney, will
move in to Sleepy Hollow. He
will tell us all how to farm.
Miss Francis Fitsgibbon will
close a very successful term of
school here this week.

live on the Mrs. Ed. Newton
farm this year.
