Nels Rishoi returned from Denmark
two weeks ago after an absence OF
three years. He was in Brooklngs
Saturday and stated that he might
decide to return to his native country
and remain there permanently.
While absent he purchased a resi-
dence in town and now his family
are comfortably housed therein. Mr..
Rishoi is a hard working and pros
porous farmer and We trust he may
vet remain a resident OF this county.

DR.. &. J. Collier has sold his office
fixtures and practice to Drs. Boyden
and Green who will continue the BUSH
ness so will established. DR.. Collier is
a pioneer Of Bookings, having come
here in 1880 and where he has built up
a splendid practice. Owing to Mrs.
Golfers frail health and the fact that
the Doctors other interests take much
OF his time he has decided to retire
from active life. His many warm
friends wish him every success while
they regret to think he may move away
from Brookings. Drs. Boyden and
green are gentlemen worthy of a good
patronage.
Fully two thousand people visited
Brookings yesterday. The ElktOn del
egation brought their splendid band
which entertained the visitors in fine
shape. There were large delegations
from DeSmet, Lake Preston, Bruce,
White, Lake Benton, Aurora and other
towns many OF whom came to visit
friends and others to take in the bal
games. The committee was greatly
disappointed in their street attractions
and owing to the sickness OF Hon. G,
A. Mathews the exercises at court house
park proved somewhat OF a failure,
The city band entertained a vast mum.

The recital given by Mrs. Lillian

was largely attended and those present
were well entertained for about ninety
minutes. 1t would be difficult to say
which OF the performers did the best
as all the different grades of the class
were represented. Those taking part
in the instrumental music showed
skill and careful training. The vocal
duet by the Misses Hubbart was
encored and Master Clair Gaylord
brought down the house in his num-
Der. Susie Bennett in her speciality
was particularly pleasing and Lillian
Breeds recitation also seemed to
touch a responsive cord in the minds
of those who had knowledge of ''that
boy Mrs. Gaylord has a class Of
fifty in music and that her system Of
instruction is worthy of praise is
demonstrated by the success she is
having. AS her class advances our
people may be certain of hearing some
splendid music at future recitals.
