den township twenty four years ago
when the buffalo paths were still
plain on the vast prairies. He has
always been payer and worker for
the development of his township,
almost Consistently in town and school
Office and during the most trying
times when school and town orders
would only bring sixty cents on the
dollar. He never lost faith and has
seen them for the last several years
worth a dollar at any bank in the
county. He is now seventy years of
age, is quite spry and in good health,
always has cheerful word for every
one and it is a pleasure tomeet "Uncle

leisurely about over the
fields hunting these grasses.
They will be on exhibition
at the state fair at Huron.
The only display of live
stock was by E. w. Smith
from near Burdette who
exhibited seven fine red
duroc Jersey hogs. He
would have exhibited fancy
cattle also but there were
no pens or grounds.
Dolly Mix owned by Ote
Collins won the free for all
pacing and trotting race.
The attendance was quite
good both days, considering
the busy season and so
many other fairs.
The work of getting up
the fair was largely in the
hands of G.. l.. Ostrander,
who is deserving of great
credit.
The exhibit will be taken
to Huron and Mitchell
and also to Pierre.

Style Of Teddy
In Harvest Chas. Halbig
Gave an Example of
Strenuous Life

Chas. Halbig probably
did the greatest hustling of
anyone during harvest.
He ran the binder steadily
for ten days, including two
Sundays, not taking a regu-
lar dinner but eating a
lunch on the machine each
day. He changed horses
in the middle Of the fore
noon and also in the middle
of the afternoon.
