ERROR IN TOWN SURVEY.
Much Litigation Likely Will Result
From Discovery.

The carelessness of the early gov
eminent surveyors, who surveyed
what now is South Dakota before it
was settled, at time when it was
never imagined for a moment that
what now is South Dakota would ever
sustain a rural population, promises
to cause much litigation among the
residents of Truro township. Aurora
county. The new survey lines have
just been run in the township The
new survey develops the fact that the
township is considerably short of it's
six miles square. If the new survey is
permitted to stand the township will
lose nearly all the grading that has
been done at large expense during the
last twenty-five years. Some of the
property owners that are affected by
the new survey have consulted attor-
neys and it is said they will institute
an action in the courts in an endeayor
to have the new survey declared void

Delicate, weak, nervous women should
especially shun the use of alcoholic
medicines which, from their stimulat-
ing and exhilerating effects may seem,
for time, to do good, but which from
the inevitable effects of the alcohol in
shrinking up the red corpuscles Of the

harm in the long run. Besides they
beget craving for stimulants which is
most deplorable.
