e. S. johnson closed his business
here the latter part of last week as far
as it was possible to do so at the time
and shipped to Portland, Oregon,
what household goods he did not sell
By this the Johnson family have
served all the ties hat bind them to
De Smet, except the ties of friendship
existing between them and, we might
say, every citizen of this city. 1t is
true that they still own their city real
estate, but that is offered for sale and
they never expect to return to DeSmet
except for a visit to friends. This
family is among our oldest residents
and it is with a feeling of deep regret
on our part that we lose them to the
coast country. 1t is their intention
to make their home near Portland,
Oregon, and WE hope that it will be
both pleasant and profitable.
