Some of the papers have COM
menced to advocate the erection OF
signboards over the country. 1t is
true that South Dakota possesses
few signboards and strangers pass
ing through the country often take
wrong roads, lose time and are
caused much trouble and inconven-
fence. Boards erected at important
section corners telling the direction
and distance to the leading towns
surrounding would certainly prove
a benefit to people travelling thru
the country. -Lake Preston Times.

purpose of awakeing a greater degree

Speaking of his work to the Times

'"The feature which Il am expected
to work out in connection with ene
Southern Commercial Congress is that
as agriculture is at the basis of the
life and prosperity of the nation, ii
is necessary that every nook and cor
ner of the great South shall be brought
aus rapidly iats possible to the highest
estate of agricultural efficiency.
For possibly year I shall travel
over the various Southern states get
ting into personal touch with the men
in those states who are progressive
Fagriculturalists or who are working to
spread agricultural knowledge. After
that it is planned that / be lcoatel

bring together, out of the efforts of the
national department of agriculture
and out of the individual efforts OF
the states, all progressive features
so that through our organization, the
duty OF which it is to work for the
South, and thus help b~dld up the ma.
tion, all agricultural advances may Ee
made widely known and quickly util-
lied.
ut will also be my duty, in jour
neying through the South to unde-.
stand the sentiment of the whole re.

thus cooperate with all the forces thai

MAJOR j. F. HANSON
dies SUDDENLY
President of Central Road
Expired Yesterday.

| Atlanta, Ga, ecember 15.-Maiol
John Fletcher Hanson, president of tho
Central of Georgia railroad and o
the Ocean Steamship Co., and widel,
known throughout Georgia, died quite
unexpectedly of heart failure at the
age of seventy years at $50 O'Clock
this morning at his residence, SO East
Fourteenth street.
The body will be inferred at Macon
and the funeral arrangements have
not yet been annouHced, these depend
ing upon the arrival here of Mrs r.
y. Garrett, Maj. Hangon's daughter, who
resides in Baltimore, Md.
Maj. Hanson was one of the best
known business men in Georgia
through his long and highly success
full connection with the Bibb Man
featuring Co., of Macon, one of the
leading textile concerns of the South
when he was elected to the chair
manship of the directorate of the
Central, with John NJ Egan, as pres
ident. Maj. Hanson managed the fl
nancial affairs of the re-organized
company, and subsequently succeed
ed Egan as president He was re-
garded as one of the South's most
sagacious men of affairs and was i'm
plicitly trusted by the Northern fl
nancial interests controlling the Cen
tral. 1t is regarded as probable that
he will be succeeded by Col. A. R.
Lawton, of Savannah, now vice-pres-
ident of the Central
