GEORGE W. KINGsBURY
The Pioneer Dakota Newspaper Pub
Usher Visits the Leader Office.

The Editor of the LEADER enjoyed
a visit from George w. Kingsbury
Wednesday, and the visit was an un-
usually pleasant a He Is In fine
shape physically for . man who was
run over recently, and mentally, he Is
in perfect condition, yet it is nearly
SO years since Mr.. Kingsbury located in
Yankton and became the pioneer
Editor and publisher OF the Territory.
Our acquaintance with Mr.. Kings
bury began in the winter Of 1S69-7O,
when we located at Yankton and
purchased the old "Union and OAK
otion'' from Mcintyre s. Foster, who
had purchased the plant from Mr..
Kingsbury a year or two before.
The friendship Of those early days
remains strong unto the present and
will remain q pleasant memory in the
years to come, although we enjoyed
some political scraps during the los,
but the friendship was never broken
or Jared. Our political scraps we're
all within the party and the election
result always squared accounts.
There is no man In the Dakotas
who is SO familiar with the early his
tory of the big territory as Mr.. Kings
bury. He is an able writer and a
close observer, with a memory as clear
as a bell, and a personal acquaintance
that covered the country from Penn
bina to Yankton. He knew all the
early pioneers and took a prominent
part in the Indian troubles, and has
served in the legislature and filed
other positions of trust. He Is the
man that we have always wanted to
write the early history of the terri
tory, because he is better qualified for
that work than any other man living,
and from what he says he may con-
clude to finish such a work, having
the early history already completed.
W. should be delighted to publish
such a history, and it should be pub
lished by him, because he Is the liter
airy and mental link that binds us to
the day the first paper was started in
Yankton in 1862, when the total pop
ulation Of white and black men in
what is now North and South Dakota
and Wyoming was a trifle less than
1000.
Mr.. Kingsbury is IN elegant gentle
man with the grace and dignity that
won recognition in private and pub
lie life, and in early days was consid-
cred the best singer In Yankton.
Mr.. Kingsbury's visit to Canton
Wednesday was the first In many
years. He was a delegate to the fam
Gus Canton convention In 1872 when
Col. Moody and Judge Brookings were
nominated for delegate to congress
but in separate conventions owing to
a split. He had been At Sioux Falls
visiting his sister, Mrs. Col. Grigsby
and ran down to. Canton to see the
editor of the LEADER.

Wednesday was like Indian Sum-
mer, after several days of cloud and
gloom which Threatened SNOW. The
glad sunshine came to assure the
corn pickers that they still had a
season of good weather ahead In which
to finish husking. 1t tried to snow
Monday, but 1t was only an effort, but
the effort made many think of the big
snow storm a year ago. The farmers
find it much easier to pick corn In
sunshine than in 18 inches of snow.

Sermons on "Great Problems"

Certain problems are as the race
and have engaged the thought OF all
who ponder on the mysteries Of human
affairs in e generation Of thinking
people. How Is the Christian con-
ception of God to be reconciled with
the existence of SO much evil and SUI
fering In the world? Does the power
above us, whether inexc=a5sa Fate or
kindly Providence, determine before
hand the events of our lives, make
us, forekn0w US, foredoOm usY' Inn
mortality, 'sour dearest hope, u
ghastliest DOUBT is there any real
grounds for belief In it? Or is our
hope of future life but the projection
of our hearts desire against the mfsts
Of an unknown and unkn0wable age
to come? These are the themes to be
discussed In series Of sermons by the
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
church on successive Sunday evenings,
beginning next Sunday, November 20.
The opening sermon Of the series Is
on "The Problem OF Evil; II God is all
all-good and all-powerful, why does
He not destroy sin and evil from the
world?" The attention and attend
ance of thoughtful persons invited
and q cordial welcome awaits all who
come.
