Leola, S. d. The other priests besides
the pastor, Mensignor Mensing, present

Webster, formerly served by Msgr.
Mensing, eleven in number, at present
have resident pastors. The last one
that had been a mission, Waubay,
now too enjoys the privilege of having
a resident pastor.

An Accident

An unfortunate accident took place
on the high grade just east of town last
Sunday when Oscar Berven, driving his
brother, Eds, new automobile,
attempted to pass Earl Grimes, who
was driving horse. The horse became
frightened and manageable, throwing
out the driver and Edna Matthews,
who was also in the rig. The horse
then broke away from the buggy and
ran away, but was caught by Lloyd
Matthews just as he entered town. In
the automobile were Mrs. H. Grimes,
Grace Coyle and Minnie Schuchardt.
The driver was hurt in being thrown
from the rig, when the horse ran off
grade. and for some moments was
unconscious. He was not seriously hurt,
however, and has recovered. His buggy
was badly smashed and had to be taken
to blacksmith shop for repairs. -

spacious home. The young women
were dressed in beautiful wedding CO.'S
tunes, the grooms wearing the accus-

yet very beautiful and impressive,
After the wedding the house was
thrown open and reception and supper
was enjoyed by all the friends for miles
around. Splendid music had been
secured and after the supper the happy
weddirg marty danced until the late
hours. The young ladies have grown to
womanhood in this county. They are
comely, have many accomplishments
and will make ideal helpmeets. The
young gentlemen are both Of excellent
character and full of energy, and the
quartette are each and every one to be
congratulated upon their choice, and
have hosts of friends who will wish for
them all the happiness which can come
in married life with none of its sorrows
and in these wishes the Reporter and
Farmer unites.

State Press Com ments

The people of South Dakota should
re-elect Chas. H. Burke to congress
fall by a larger vote than he ever
secured before. This should be done
because he is always honest with his
constituents and nearly every vote he
ever cast has been found to be correct
and in the interests of the people of
this state. Of course, every vote is
not just what everyone might have
wished, and it is possible he has made
some mistakes, but they have been
honest ones and he never tried to
dodge them. He is quite a power in
congress and will be able to do much
for the people of the state in the
future. Sioux Falls Journal.

Occasionally there is sporadic out
break of factionalism in the republican
ranks of South Dakota, but as a gen.
eral thing the republicans of the state
are lining up in support of the whole
ticket, state and congressional. And
this is as it should be. However
greatly republicans may disagree over
the individual merits or the past per-
formances of some of the candidates
of the party, it is certainty that no
democratic candidate offers any promise
of improvement over any republican
candidate. Aberdeen News.
