such communities that contribute most

the importance Of the church as a so

~HE social life and amusements
OF the country are essentially
| ditfesent from those In the
city. have heard people say
that there Is no such thing as social
life in the country. but inquiry dis
closed the fact that they never had
spent much time IN modern, wide
awake farm community. The founda.
ton Of all social life is In the home II
is in the country that the home is de-
velOped to the highest extent, and II
necessarily follows that 1t Is in the
country that the strongest basis for a
healthy social life exists.
The social life of the so called ''soci-
ETY." people Of the city does not exist
in the country, and it is blessing to
the country that 1t does not. Such a
social life is unnatural. Social life is
primarily for amusement. recreation
and development. Where is the amuse-
meDt or the recreation in the struggle
for social recognition by q clique
whom turn of the wheel of fortune
has brought uppermost? Where is the
development unless it be the develop
ment Of heartaches OH the part of the
wife and poverty on the part of the
husband? Such society, where peo-
pie are measured by their money ratt,-
er than by their true worth. is snob-
berry rather than social life.
Outside the society" circles the so
cfaf life Of the city consists largely of
amusements-Coney Island and its imi-
tators. theaters and public dances.
Some of these things are all right IL
their way. They furnish amusement
and recreation. But they do not fur
nish development.
Here Is where the great advantage
of country social life comes in. 1t is
not furnished ready made to those who
have the price. Social diversions in
the country are made to order. That
is the reason why some people do not
like them. and that is why a person
who once really gets into the spirit Of
country social life is never afterward
satisfied with social affairs 10 which
he cannot have an active part.

are not taken advantage of in all COM

Death of Robert Cornell.

After an eventful life covering "a
years, Robert Cornell, a pioneer
settler of Lincoln county, died at the
home of his daughter Mrs. Andrew
Mahoney, at Sioux Falls, Monday
evening, May 2, at 10 o'clock. He
knew the end was near and had
settled all his affairs and was ready
for the summons.
He came to Lincoln county in 1871,
and filed on a homestead just north of
the Norton place, and remained there
for many years, finally moving to Can
ton after the death Of his wife, and
had made his home with his daughter,
Mrs. Van Houten, until they moved
to Sphinx county, and since then lived
with his daughter in Sioux Falls.
The funeral service was held at
Sioux Falls and the body Of the old
warrior and pioneer was brought to
Canton Wednesday and was taken
in charge by Funeral Director Byrnes
and buried in Forest Hill cemetery
in the presence of relatives and
friends with a brief service by Father
Fitzgerald Of Lennon. He leaves four
daughters to mourn the loss Of a kind
and loving father, Mrs. Chas. Van
Houten Of Sphinx county, Mrs. Andrew
Mahoney of Sioux Falls, Mrs. James
Mahoney Of Fulton and Mrs. Gus
Paulesky of Nicola, Iowa, and all we're
present but the Iowa daughter who
could not be communicated with In
time.
! Robert Cornell served in the British
navy during the ,Crimean wal and
was in the battle that destroyed
Sevastopol. He came to the United
States in 1862 and joined the navy
and was in active service until the
civil war closed, and shortly after
came west.

taken especial pains to publish this
unfortunate matter which was entire

to our own community. The broad
and proper way to handle such mat

that they will feel that they have
been properly dealt with and when
proper punishment has been dealt out
then all should cheerfully submit and
so conduct themselves, the one to the
other, that no heart aches or pains or

1t is regretable that the S%uperinten-

Charlie WalWrath Narrowly
Escapes Death.

Charlie Walrath, for severalHyears
the engine tender in the Milwaukee
yards here, had a miraculous escape
from instant death N morning
last week. He was riding on the
real OF a tender and when ready
jumped off landing inside the rails Of
the neXt track just as an engine and
tender was backing up in the opposite
direction. The noise of the engine
on which he was riding was evidently
other engine, and thus he vas caught,
knocked down and dragged for nearly
60 feet by the breakbeam Of the ten
der before the engineer could stop.
He was promptly removed to the
home of engineer Main near the track
and Railroad Physician Wendt i'm
mediately called. 1t is a wonder that
Walrath IA not Instantly killed, as
he had two bad gaSheS In the head
and his shoulder blade was broken
and up to Monday night DR.. Wendt
was unable to determine the full eX-
tent of his injuries, because the
patient remained unconscious all day.
Mr.. Walrath took the fatal step with
Jul hearing the approaching danger,
and like many veteran railroad men,
familiarity with danger made him
less cautious than a nan less eXper-
fenced.
The injured man showed nc signs
of recovery from the terrible shock
until the latter part of the week, the
accident taking place Monday morn
ing, when DR.. Wendt had him remov-
ed to a room in his office where close
watch could be kept of the patient.
The injured man continues to gain in
strength and on Thursday morning of
this week, DR.. Wendt reported his
patient still improving.
