GOOD WORDS FOR HOPKINS.

come connected with n of the prom
inent banks at Brookings and will
take up his residence in that city in
a short time. Mr.. Hopkins was for
merly the publisher of the Henry In
dependent where he resided for many
years. About the time South Dakota
land commenced to pick up he got
into the real estate game and made
good, and has been engaged in the
real estate and farm loan business
ever since. He owns ver a thou
sand acres of the finest land that ever
laid out of doors lea Henry and is
considered one of the solid men in
Codington county. He has always TAX
Ell an active part in politics and, of
course, has made some enemies, but
he is a game fighter, and even his
enemies cannot help but admire him.
This is the first instance on record OF
a newspaper man breaking into the
banking business, but Hop" as he Is
Familiarity known, will have the best
wishes of his many friends in this
county just the same. 1t is hard to
forgive an old newspaper man fol

 There were few other early Leaches in this country, but most of the great family here is sprung from the single forefather, Lawrence. The favorite Christian names among the Leaches have been Hanna, Susanna, Nokes, Joseph, Giles, Ann, Sarah and David. The only Leach registered as an officer of the Continental army in the revolution is Simon, of Massachu- settS, who was a first lieutenant, but other Leaches served as privates.
 One of the most noted Leaches on this continent in recent years was the late William Turnbull Leach, of Canada. He was born at. Berwick-on- Tweed, Scotland, in 1895. He was or dained a Presbyterian minister, and later joined the Church of England. and was sent to Montreal, where he became archdeacon.

 Keene had his fill of wheat in 1884, when, in an effort to corner the Chi cago market, he lost millions of dol lars. not only in the wheat pit, but in the New York market. In the col lapse of the corner Keene bought so much wheat that he was several years finding a market for 1t. Some of 1t he shipped all the way to the Black sea. It was a bitter lesson-but 1t was worth the price he paid. Several months after the Saratoga races, when wheat was selling at the highest price since the Letter corner. John Gates. who was running an eleventh-hour bull campaign in the staple. tried to get Keene to take share in his pool. The veteran operator refused.

 Gates didn't take the advice. His campaign collapsed and he took big loss. Some of his followers were ruined. among them being a Wiscon- sin banker.
