would be a more respectable place to
go if there could be less booze taken
there on Sundays,-Lake Henry Cor.

From reports that have reached us
we Judge there is considerable foun-
dation for the booze story. Both De-
Smet and Lake Preston contribute
about evenly to that feature of the
place.
Andrew Nord, formerly of Lake
Preston, but now living at Brookings,
was a visitor in De Smet Friday. An

ing auditor for the Atlas Company.
Andrew was one of the pioneers of
Brookings county, having located in
the first days of settlement of that
county near what was known as Rem
shaw, about half way between Volga
and Bruce. The writer had a pleas.
ant visit with him while here Friday
and reviewed interesting incidents of
the early days and old stamping
grounds down on the Sioux.
Martin Amundson is having erect
ed on his farm a modern farm home
26 x % two stories. Everything about
the place is to be as convenient as it
is possible to make it. Ole Gulbran-
son has charge of the construction.
But what worries the writer is what
Martin wants of a house like that.
Our wife was away for ten days and

friends into his confidence iii this
matter will make their congratulation
none the less hearty. The bride
was Miss Marjorie M. Hassel, oldest
of DR.. Albert Hassell, of
that city. The ceremony occurred at
the home of the brides parents. The
couple arrived Monday even

the new house now being built by
W. E. Pratt at the east end of Sec

groom extent a hearty welcome to
the bride.

the attention of visitors to this city,

to be from the agricultural districts of

The Farmers Elevator Co. at
Willow Lakes has incorporated in its
bylaws a section which provides that
each member must first weigh his
grain at the Farmers Elevator, and
then, if he desires to sell to some
other elevator, he must pay the Farm

The amount to which any stockhold-

of this section of the bylaws becomes
a lien against his stock, and against
any sum then due, or which may
thereafter become due, to the stock
