Monument Unveiled at Parks
vile, New Methodist Minis
ter, Kind Words for the
Advertiser.

Dear Advertiser:
Yesterday was great day in
Parksville; in the morning Bro. L.
B. White preached an inspiring and
helpful sermon from the words: i
am the Bread Of Life, and in the af,
ternoon at 8 o'clock a beautiful
monument was unveiled by the w
O. W., to the memory of Sow. ]. L.
Stone, who died some months ago
Promptly at 2:3o o'clock the Sow
ereigps assembled at the Woodmen's
hall, where they were Joined by
members of Liberty Hill, Red Hill.
and Plum Branch, who were formed
in line of march to the cemetery by
the Master,of Ceremonies:
The marching Woodmen were
joined at the church by the quartet,
reader of the poem, Miss Martha
Dorm, and the orator of the occasion,
the Hon. w. T. Slaughter of. York
county and state organizer for w.
o. w. of this state. The Sover.
eigns were formed around the grave
in the shape of wedge, the point
beyond the head of the grave, the
United States flag standing at point
OF the wedge, the orator, relatives,
poet, and quartet within the wedge.
The beautiful dedicatory cere.
monies were then performed by the
officers of the camp, consisting OF
words signifying honor, love and
remembrance, after which Miss
Martha Dorm with beautiful effect,
recited the poem, "Oh why should
tie spirit Of mortal be proud?'
The weather being threatening, the
Woodmen were marched into the
Baptist church hard by, when beau
tiful oration was delivered by Hon
w. T. Slaughter. The sentiments
expressed by Sovereign Slaughter
were tender indeed, rejecting the
brotherhood of the order, the Faith.
.|srhsood of God and the brotherhood
Sf man in general.
The cold stone marking the last
resting place of ourdeceased sover
eign "Glorifes life and idealizes
deathY in that it reflects the faith
of humanity in the Eternal and re-
@.minds us that when the things that
4 are now shall have passed away.
and shall have been "by others sue
ceeded" loving hearts representing
woodcraft, will place over our sleep,
ing dead tokens of remembrance
The meeting closed with many
thanks to Sovereign Slaughter.
1 cannot resist the impulse before
closing this article of saying some
thing about the great improvement
in The Advertiser, both in subject
matter and appearance. The
Advertiser is a good paper
and is getting better. 1t is 8
clean paper which can be recon-
mended as worthy to 60 in all Chris
tian homes where parents are endeay
oring to to train their children in
the way in which they should go"
1t stands for purity in politics, de,
cency in public affairs, and the pro
hibiton of that which causes more
deaths than war, more corruption ii
politics, more crime in our beloved
state, than all other agencies put to
gether.
The Advertiser practices what il
breaches, in that it allows not the
advertising Of strong drink, thereby
proving its faith by its works, ano
has not gone, nor will it go to the
Poor House. God honors the man
or the paper, or what not, that hon
ors him. Happy is the man that
condemneth not himself in that
which he alloweth''. All honor to

There is a strong desire on the part

Mitchell as the leading musical city
of the state. Last year with the

GOOD TARIFFS FOR MITCHELL
These Apply to Points West of the
River and are Quite a Concession
on Freight Rates.

The freight rates that apply TO
Mitchell and its surrounding ter
ritory are improving right along and
as they keep coming it will offer
more Inducements for the establish
Ing OF wholesale houses and diStri-
buting enterprises.
Recently the railroad commissioners
of South Dakota met at Fort Pierre
and adopted a new distance tariff to
apply to business between points
west of the Missouri river. and also
between points east of the river and
points west, which amounted to a
material reduction on practically all
lines Of freight traffic. This action
was the result of the labors of the
Federation of Commercial Clubs OF
the state.
In compliance with this action by
the railroad commission the tariff
sheet for Mitchell as issued ty the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul COM
papy show an enlargement which takes
in all the points west of the Missouri
river to RAPID City. Heretofore
these rates have been high but
through the efforts of the commercial
clubs the reduction will amount to
a great deal, and will enable this
city to participate in the trade
coming from that section of the
state.
1t was recently announced through
the efforts Of Commissioner Ness and
the local Commercial Club that a
much better rate had been secured
over the Milwaukee companv's road
on lumber from southern points and
the concession makes a big hole in
the freight bills that have heretofore
been made out against the dealers.
The vast amount of business that is
open between Mitchell and Rapid
City can just as we'll be handled in
Mitchell aS in any other wholesale
center, and the good work that the
Commercial Club has accomplished
in the past year would indicate that
in the coming wear it can accomplish
much more, for the reason that it
has a much stronger basis on which
to wofSanh a much greater prestige.

Hand It Out.

Hand It Out.
Don't be chary with advice.
You know how to do things.
Show the dubs and no accounts
And the Rubes a few things.
While they may not thank you for
Pointing out a blunder.
You can prove it to yourself
That you are a wonder.
All around you fellows may
Need TO be instructed.
Tell them how their business should
Rightly be conducted.
Though you may neglect your own,
Show a disposition
To keep other fellows straight:
Let that be your mission.
Yes. it Is a thankless task.
No n will be grateful.
Though of pointers sage and good
You should keep his slate full.
Friends and neighbors might 70
wrong
Without your attention.
You can always find some flaws
And some faults to mention.
Cheerfully keep chipping in
With your private reason.
Give advice right of the reel
In and out OF season.
You may get your features punched
You must take those chances.
Like as not you'll only get
Cool, contemptuous glances.
