tractive home of Mrs. Sweet on Sixth
Avenue east. A five o'clock tea was
given each afternoon and about e.tc
hundred and fifty guests were M
%tertained on the three occasions.
The decorations We're especially
attractive and in close sympathy
with the Christmas season, red and
green predominating throughout. The
entrance to the parlor through coll
onades was highly susceptible of
decoration and these we're made to
appear very attractive with the Ell.

intervals with sprigs of holly. A

E. j. Mannix, OF Sioux Falls, vas
II of the speakers IN the subject
of catalogue houses. He gave an out
line of his plan of running month
by month in his publication a table
containing the names OF manufacture
ers who refused to declare them
selves in favor OF the retailer and
against the mail order houses, and
that this was proving very effective
in bringing the manufacturers to
time. He stated that scarcely a day
passed without his receiving from
some listed manufacturer the affida-
Wit which is necessary in order to
have the name taken out of the pub
lished list.
is at Montrose, stated to the onven
ton that he made a practice of pur-
chasing from people in the region
tributary to Montrose, stoves and
cream ~separators purchased from
mail order houses, and which have
soon become worthless owing to the
poor material of which they are COM
posed. The stoves and separators
thus purchased are then placed on
exhibition in his store, he taking
pains to have the exhibits adorned
with a history of where they were
purchased, the time they We're in
use, etc. He stated that this method
was very effective and held for him
on a number of occasions trade which
otherwise might have gone to Il mail
order house.
A few of the dealers favored April
1 as the discount date, stating that
dealers could pay as we'll then as on
better all around. The majority,
however, appeared to favor the later
date.
During the afternoon discussion
President McDougall stated he had
placed his business on practically a
cash basis, as he does lot permit
goods of any considerable value to
leave his place of business without
the cash being paid or the purchaser
giving him a note for the amount of
the purchase. He urged hat all
dealers follow a like course.
An interesting feature of the af-
ternoon was an address on several
different topics by M. ID. Thompson,
of Vermillion. In reviewing his ca
reer as a dealer in what now is South
Dakota he state that for forty years
he had been engaged in the farm ma
chinery business at Vermillion. He
stated further that he thought he
was entitled to the honor of having
sold the first mower ever sold in
Dakota Territory, and that he also
had sold the first reaper ever sold in
Dakota. In addition he also sold the
AAoI WIG UIAuei III DdkOld.
Before the conclusion of the after
noon session e. J.. Mannix, of Sioux
Falls, rose and presented an invi-
tation in behalf of his city for the as
ISOLATION to hold it's next annual
meeting at Sioux Falls. Accompany
ing his verbal invitation Mr.. Mannix
presented a written invitation signed
by practically all the leading busi-
ness men of Sioux Falls. The mat
ter was laid over for the time being
with the understanding that it should
receive attention at the proper time.

Singing Convention.

Eighteen years ago Rev. w. d.
Smith instituted what was then
known as the East DugdemonIa
Convention, being q meeting of
young people from the various
sections of Winn parish east of
the Dugdemonis, in singing
exercises. These meetings have
been continued ever since their
first organization and are held
only on the fifth Sunday of the
month. Last Saturday and Sun
day there was q gathering at
Shady Grove. 1t was attended
by number of singing "teams"
from the different sections. A
number of young people went
from Winfield and the OCCASION
was a most enjoyable one. There
was very large attendance, and
the exercises very interesting.
One of the features of the
gathering was a basket dinner
that afforded an abundant supply
of all kinds of appetizing edibles,
and was partaken of with keen
relish by the young people. Amid
rural scenes and the dawning
beauty of the spring-tide these
gatherings of the youths and
maidens of the several neighbor-
hoods are both enjoyable reun-
ions and most elevsting in their
influences. They are anticipated
with genuine pleasure, and always
mark white letters in the lives of
the participants.

Walter Breed.

Walter Breed, one of the
oldest settlers in this section of
the country, died in Bernice on
Thursday, March 26, last. He
was SO years of age and had
witnessed the transformation of
the country from an almost un-
broken wilderness into an area of
vast industries and teeming with
an energetic population. Sew
eral days ago he suddenly col
lapsed while out walking and
never rallied from the attack.
Like all of the old men of the
South he was an active partic-
ipant in the stirring scenes of the
civil war, and now has gone to
join the hosts of the departed
heroes. His remains were taken
to Shiloh, in Union parish, fol-
interment.

And my lips pressed your face.
All, God that embrace!

But the dream had its waking and now love.

You mine. and your face is not far
Though clung TO you tight
As you faded from sight
may see you again like Nights star
There's new prayer each night my lips, love-

Oh, such deep prayer
That your face will be there
For know what close vigilS YOU keep.
