We Have Prospered" JerauldCo., s.
Proves Her Worth--A Remarkable Showing
Fine improvements

Another year has rolled around-a year of prosperity and de-
velopment for Washington Springs and Jerauld County, South Da-
kota. Little did we dream one short year ago that we would see so
many changes and improvements. Then our city was without fire
protection; today we can boast of one of the finest water systems
in the state. A year ago we were using the common street lamps;
today our city is lighted with electricity, with large arc lights all
over the city. A year ago our students were going to school in a
frame school building; today a new brick building costing over
$50, 900, full three stories and trimmed with granite, houses the
students. A year ago an old brick-veneered building housed the
seminary students and faculty; today a beautiful solid brick struc-
ture stands on the seminary campus, and also a large dormitory.

wherein the breath of the plains. the

The cowboys took off their hats and

'You sure do look pert" added
Sagebrush with what he considered
his most winning smile. Fresno snick-
