John Petrie, who has lived in
this vicinity for eleven years past, has
decided to return to his old home at
Sycamore, H., to spend the winter
at least, and perhaps to make it the
permanent home. As TO the latter
he has not fully decided, and probably
will not be able to decide until he
goes back and finds that the old town
isn't as good as he thought it to be.
John says that if he does not stay
there he will be back in Kingsbury
county. We hope he comes back.
John is a good farmer and has made
money here.
Geo. Smith, from northeast of
this city, was at Mitchell last week to
buy corn. George will fatten two
| carloads of steers and one carload of
hogs this season. He had a good
corn crop but did not have enough to
| fatten so much stock. He bought
two cars of corn, one old and the other
new. While there he sold thirty-three
head of registered Duroc Jersey swine
at S25 each. George is one of Kings
bury county's most progressive farm
ers. He is a young nan and made
his start right here, and it was not
many years ago when be commenced
operations. He il one of the boys
that are making good.
The work on the electric line south
is progressing very satisfactorily. The
worst places on the route are between
| here and the Sioux river, and just
this side of Egan, and it is the inten
ton of the management TO complete
these grades this fall while the wealth
er is dry. The route of the road is
| straight south of Brookings along the
Medary road to H. |. Stearns' place
then southeast to the quarter line
from where it runs south until it
Gro SEES the Sioux east of the Bedding
bridge. her east again and from there
straight south to Egan. Brookings

1t would seem that after a quarter
of a century Medary is TO be again
brought to life. We are told that an
elevator and other buildings are
| planned for erection. Medary was
one of the earlier towns of Brook
ings county and was the county seat
until Brookings sprang into existence
| with a bunch of hustlers who wanted
the county seat, and who got it. How
they got it is another story which we
cannot tell correctly, although we
heard it related many times in the
old days.
Sid Kizer, who lives two miles
west and four miles north ofthis city,
has decided to move to. Minnesota.
Not long since he made a trip into
the latter state and purchased a farm
IN Mobiles county only n mile from
a good town. The place is nicely i'm
proved and will make the family a
