LAND IS NOW VALUABLE
). H. strothers Turned Down an
Offer Of $50 Per Acre for
His Farming Land.

d. q. Strothers has a farm three
aud one-half miles north OF town
which he values quite highly. At
least he turned down a mighty good
offer for his land week or SO ago.
He informed The Republican that
an Illinois man was driving out
through this section Of the country
and stopped at his place to look over
his farm. After making a thorough
investigation lie asked Mr.. Strothers
1.-The wanted to sell, and at the sane
time made him an otter for the land,
which the Illinois man kept increas-
Ing until he finally offered to paw Mr..
Strothers S35 an ere for the farm OF
l80 acres. Strothers said that he
did not cal to sell at the present
time-that his. farm just suited him,
and that IL he did want to sell he
would not take a cent less than 8lGO
an acre for the place. MI. Strothers
lis huilainM a large harm. 4Ox60,
On his place which will add that
much more to 1t. Other than this
barn there are not many buildings
on the place.
MIR. Strothers came out here from
Iowa seven years ago and bought the
farm for 500 an acre, and at the time
his neighbors thought he was paying
a little TOO much for 1t, and the in
crease in MS farm land is certainly
very gratifying to him. MIR. Stroth-
ers declined the offer OF SS5 per acre
for the reason t at the land is a good
producer and he has raised good
crops every ynar OF the seven, con-
seQuently h" rid not want to make
any change, 50 long as he intended
to keep at the farming business.

'METHoDIsTs At VERMILLloN
There is a Large Attendance at IL
Gathering OF the Methodist
Body This Week.

All Mehodists are assembled at
Vermillion this week, where the
annual session Of Dakota Conference
is being held, and there is a very
large gathering Of this religious
denomination. The Conference ses.
sioE opened Tuesday Worning, and
for the week it will be interspersed
with some interesting events, prom.
inent. among which Will be the
visit of Vice President Fairbanks,
who will deliver Two addresses before
tie Methodist brethren
The work of the conference will
be partially devoted to the selection
OF two lay and two ministerial dele
gates to the quadriennial conference
which is held in Baltimore next
year, n there are numerous candi-
dates for these foar distinguished
positions. Among the lay candidates
for these places are n. G. Tilton of
Vermillion, s. 3. Morris of Mitchell,
Phillip Lawrence OF Huron. G. w.
Shuck Of Geddes, Edgar Dean of
Canton aud others are also mem
toned. Among the number men
toned 1t is thought probable that
Morris of Mitchell and Lawrence Of
Huron will develop the most strength
owing to peculiar circumstances.
The ministerial members of the
conference WIG are most favorably
mentioned for delegates are DR.
Thos. Nicholson Of Dakota Wesleyan
University. d.. j. o. Dobson of the
Mitchell district, G.. L. Notson OF
of Alexandria. DR.. j. W. Taylor OF
Aberdeen and presiding Elder j.
p. J.nkins OF Sioux Falls.
The leading member of the con-
ference so far mentioned for the
presiding eldershlp made vacant by
the expiration Of che term of Elder
j. P. Jenkins Of the Sioux Falls
district is Rev. A @. Shepherd Of
Vermillion, and it looks now as il
he would be MIR. Jenkins successor
and it is net at all improbable that
Mr.. Jenkins will be appointed to
MI. Shepherds place at Vermillion
Mr.. Shepherd was a former resident
OF Mitchell some years ago, when he
attended Dakota University from
which he graduated and at once
entered the ministry where he has
been highly successful.
The opinion prevails that there
will be many changes made this year

Floor Polish.

If floors are of oak or Of Georgia
pine, already finished and properly, a
good preparation for keeping them in
order is a mixture Of two parts vine

The mixture is equally good for the
