The favour of Postum, when boiled

people. When everybody had left, the
railroad tore down its depot, great
gangs of men jerked the tracks from
their cedar ties and the short line
from Aberdeen was a thing of the
past.
Across the barren plains between
Aberdeen and Evarts millions upon
millions of cattle Of every description
had been carted in great long freight
cars to be eventually disposed of in
Chicago. Milwaukee, St. Louis, New
York, Buffalo and in fact all OF the
big eastern marts Of trade. On August
l, 1908, came the official ending of the
town. All its books were closed on
that date; Its employees were officially
dismissed then and their salaries to
that time were paid them. although
most Of the public officials and their
families had left Evarts several weeks,
some OF them months before.

the center of the town and there tie
his craft for a tour Of inspection, but
his efforts to unearth the mysterious
about what was once Evarts will be
fruitless. for everything Of any value
whatsoever has been carried away
and scarcely a stick Of wood was left
by the economical natives, who now
call themselves citizens of other
South Dakota villages.
Scores Of towns have suffered the
same experience which befell Evarts,
but the latters passage to oblivion
was perhaps more sudden. more spec
tacular and more regretted than any
which have got into the public prints
in decade or more.

The Rev. G. B. Smalley, of Louis
Vile. was called to the pastorate of
the Second Baptist church to succeed
the Rev. L. G. Gresham, last night by
the unanimous vote of the congrega-
tion. DR.. Smalley will accept, and
may preach his first sermon as pastor

come for several weeks. DR.. Smalley
is recommended highly to the congre-

to call him.
At present DR.. Smalley is attending
the Southern Baptist Theological Sem
mary, and preaching at a mission of
the Walnut Street Baptist church in
Louisville. He Is a clear and pleas
ant speaker, and is considered quite
an orator. Before taking post grad

churches in Tennessee. He is a single
