-Mesdames Chloe Fuller, G. l..
Dawley, and F. w. Wright entertain
ed a company of friends Wednesday
evening at the Wright home in honor
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. p. Sanford. After
spending the evening at cards light
refreshments were served. A particu
larly enjoyable feature of the affair
was the presence of Mr.. and Mrs. M.
G. Carlisle, of Brookings, old friends
of the Sanfords and of all others
present.
Pat Kildee has been appointed
again to the position of nightwatch.
This is the eighth successive appoint
ment. Mr.. Kildee feels some pride
in the fact that he has served con-
tinuously for seven years and is now
entering on the eighth, aud he has a
right to feel some pride in the matter.
The position is not an enviable one in
many respects, and satisfactory and
continuous service for that length of
time is something unusual.
"A Lake Preston merchant last
week closed a three weeks egg con
test, giving prizes to the women who
marketed the greatest number of eggs.

lows: The frs prize was IA Dan
Patch Jewell Incubator, 100 egg
capacity, which vas on eXhibi ion in
full Matching opera ion during the
time, and WAS w"n by Mrs. Jens l..
jensDn, whose was 1868. The
second pr u. a china tea set, was won
by Mrs. Henry Mcneil, who was IA
close second in the race with l0,605
eggs to her credit. Mrs George Berg

with a score OF STA. Mrs. c.. NJ.
Elson was next in the score, and Mrs.
P. E. Murphy fifth, with many

Mr.. and Mrs. E. 2. Sanford ar.
rived from BelIingham, Wash, Fri
day morning of last week for a visit
with old friends in this city, rem in
ing until this friday morning when
they will take the train for Oklahoma
for a visit with Mr.. Sanford's sister.
1t is a little over three years since the
Sanfords left De Smet but they have
not yet lost their interest in this city
and locality and in their old friends.
Both are looking well and one can see
no change in them since their removal
from the city. They like their new
home and Mr.. Sanford's duties in the
Bellingham National Bank are very
pleasant to lin. No family ever
moved from De Smet leaving more
warm friends than did Mr.. and Mrs.
Sanford, and it is a great pleasure TO
see them once more. 1t is the regret
of all that there is no prospect of
their return to De Smet to make their
home, but all are glad to see them,
even if their visit must be brief.
The law firm OF Warren & Warren
have decided to extend their business
and with that end in view Chas. p.
| Warren, the senior member of the
firm, will open an Office at Huron
about June LIST. The firm is now en-
joying a nice practice, but there is a
limit to the practice that comes to the
smaller cities. Both members of the
firm are ambitious young men and
after celebrating upon the matter for
some time they decided upon the
course as above stated. The announce.
ment will not give pleasure to the
