The report comes in from all sections
that Day county has at present the best
crop prospect in her history. Weather
conditions up to this time have been al
most perfect and everything indicates
that the biggest and best crop ever har-
vested in this section will be taken of
the land this fall. About the only dan
ger now is from hail and that is only To-
cal. With favorable conditions for the
next two weeks we sure will have a
bumper crop.

have changed my mind about hav-
ing John Ray and Bailey dipped, as it
will be too expensive, as George Cease
thinks it would spoil all the dip and
might ruin the tank, so the cheapest
way out of it would be to run them
through the manure spreader; we could
use them to kill horse-radish with.
Say, there is man living ten miles
south Of Webster. His name is Adam
Sass, and don't went any more of your
sass either, as he said you had been out
to his place four times. and il Bailey
goes out again he will put split stick
on him; then your bunch told Mr.. Sass
that You had put the rods on Anton
Gort's house and he told You that was
not SO as Mr.. Gort told him that Fred
Russell had done the work, and advised
him to have his house rodded with the
same rod as it was the finest job of
rods that he had ever seen.
It would do you and your bunch good
to 90 ont and look at it, it would look
as good to you as carrot looks toa sick
rabbit.
So long for this time as must go out
and put up some rod this morning.

A Pioneer Editor.

Last Saturday evening Mr. Burleigh
Milton arrived in this city from Wash
ington, d. O. He was for number of
years during the early years of South
Dakota's existence, connected with
newspaper work and upon this visit, the
first in many years, could not really at
first realize the truth of the progress of
this state. In his visit at this Office he
told us that it was almost beyond belief
to see where farmers had really ditched
their farms to carry off the water as
when in his days in this state It was a
lack of moisture that held the state from
development. The Argus Leader has
the following to say of Mr. Milron's
visit to that city:
"Mr. Burleigh Milton, of Washing.
ton, Cd. o. Evening Star, visited Sioux
Falls for few hours today on his way
through the state on trip com bining
business with pleasure. Mr.. Milton
formerly resided in South Dakota, hav-
ing been one of the pioneer publishers of
territorial DAYS, aud later the founder
of the Redfield Journal Observer. Mr..
Milton resided in South Dakota from
1883 to 1890. leaving the state to engage
later to return to his old home in Wash
ington, to accept responsible position
with the Star. While resident of the
territory, and later the state, Mr. Milton
took an active and keen interest in the
politics and was at one time a member
of the republican state central commit
of Governor Mellette and Governor
Sheldon, as aide de camp with the rank
of colonel Mr. Milton was also promi-
nently identified with the early state.
hood movement in the territory during
the years from 1884 TO 1888, having been
secretary of the statehood commission
that labored at Washington the winte RS
of 1884 and 1885. He is looking over the
state comparing the conditions of ten
years ago and reports that he has not
seen such wonderful developments in
any state in all the journey across the
country. Indeed, the crops in south
western Dakota have excelled anything
he has seen. Mr. Milton goes from here
to Mitchell and thence to Redfield,
Aberdeen, Webster aud Milbank, and
thence home via Minneapolis and ST
Paul"
Mr.. Milton acted as private secretary
TO Delegate 0 S. Clifford and also pri-
vate secretary to Congressman Lucas,
known in South Dakota as Old Shady"
Mr.. Milton left Tuesday evening for
Washington to resume his duties at the
desk OF the Evening Star, but we will
say that it is more than likely that he
will again return to state and take mp
the newspaper work here.

WINS BY FOUR BIRDS.
The Sisseton Gun Club Wins
From the Local Team at
Pickere1 Lake by
Small Margin.

Last Sunday the Sisseton Gun Club
met the Webster Rod and Gun Club at
Pickerel Lake aud won forty bird
match by the small margin of four
birds. 1t was holly contested match
from start to finish and not until the
last round was shot was there any tell
ing where the belt would fall. The
match was pulled off in two twenty
bird matches, Sisseton winning in the
first by one bird and the second by three,
making the Sisseton team four birds to
the good on the grand total
The Webster boys did not shoot at this
match as well as they have been in the
habit of shooting, the cause of which is
unaccountable. We are unable to say
whether the Sisseton team did their us
ual shooting on this occasion or not,
but at any rate it was as close a match
as is likely to take place here this year.
In the.first half Sisseton broke 100 out
of possible 200, with Webster at l29.
