A Public Library Proposition
Yours truly,
Jas. w. Witten.


How many Webster people are inter-
ested in this city having "a public
library? Although we have the best
town in this part of the state we are
behind most of our neighbors in this
respect. 1t is hard to find today pro-
gressive, prosperous, up-to-date town
which has not taken some thought of
the general public in this way, either
by taking advantage of Mr.. Carnegie
generous gifts or shouldering the entire
expense.
There is money at hand-not enough,
but beginning-for a reading room
and library, and with some show of in
terest, which we all feel, there is not a
reason why we should not be able to
hold our heads up with Sisseton, Mil
bank, Britton, Bristol and other towns,
and say we too care how our citizens
and visitors spend their leisure hours
we offer them reading room and lib
rary.
Let US take hold by talking the ques-
ton over with our friends Iand then
unite in making the proposition a sue
cess.

For County superintendent.

Lily, S. D., Feb. q, 1910.
Mr.. j.. H. Hetley, Webster, S. d.
Esteemed Friend
AS the time is drawing near when
we, as citizens of Day county, are
required by law to place in nomination
candidates for the various county Off
ces to be filled by election next Novem-
Der, it becomes the duty as well as the
privilege of every conscientious voter
to look about for the best material.
Having always had live interest in
the education of the children, who in a
few short years will become the active
men and women of our commonwealth,
| deem the office of county superinten-
dent by far the most important office
in the county. Not only is there more
money invested and wisely or unwisely
spent under his guidance than in any
othc" ee; but what to my nation 7"
of vastly more importance is the fact
that the minds of our children, under
his able supervision in selecting teach
ers, keeping in close touch with the
school officers, and last but not least in
reaching the hearts of the children,
may reap the greatest benefit possible
under our school system; or through
the superintendent mismanagement
or neglect their precious time may be
wasted or their minds crippled and
their usefulness in life diminished.
Having been conversant with the
school work in Day county for the past
twenty-five years, | wish to say that
not at any time during that period have
l seen more active interest in our school
work and better results from it than
during the four years that you so ably
filled that office.
On those grounds / would therefore
earnestly request you, and in fact urge
you, to become a candidate for that
Office before the June primaries.
1t shall be a pleasure to give you
whatever support can in behalf of
your nomination and election; but your
record as superintendent will always be
your best support, and it is my belief
that your record alone will be more
than enough toSsecure both your NOM
ination and election if you could be
prevailed upon to become a candidate
With hopes of seeing your announce
ment as candidate in our local papers
before long, remain
Your well-meaning Friend,
Johannes j. Fo Sc,
Clerk Dist. 173.

Gent cashier of the Firt State Bank of
this place, resigns as cashier. We UNI
derstand his resignation has been ac-
copied and his successor, who is Mr..
Alex Highland of Britton, appointed.
Mr.. Guernsey and his estimable family
came here at the time the First State
Bank was organized-ab about six years
ago. At the time of its organization
Mr.. Guernsey was elected cashier which
position he has faithfully filled ever
since. 1t has been his pleasure to see
the business of the First State Bank
and its interests gradually but surely
increase and develop until to-day it is
one of the banks of the county to which
any one may justly point with pride.
While Mr.. Guernsey has been faithful
in the performance of his duties as
cashier, he has not been negligent Of
his duties as citizen. He has always
boosted for Pierpont and vicinity.
AS to the future, he has accepted a
position offered him by Uncle Sam,
whereby he will become the owner of
800 acres of Uncle Sans land in north
ern Montana for the nominal sum of
living on said land for period years,
We understand that Mr.. Guernsey and
family will in the near future make

Mr.. j. j. Fosse, Lily, Rt. No. 2.
Dear Mr.. Fosse:-
| thank you for the expressions of
confidence in me and your good words
for my work during the four years that
/ served the county as superintendent
of schools. To merit such commenda-
ton for all of my work has been the
ambition of my life.
In reply to your urgent request to
again enter the lists and become can
didate for the Office of county superin-
tendent, l will say that it has not been
my intention to enter as a candidate, if
by so doing it would cause the office to
become tangled up in political matters.
The cause of education is altogether
too important, in my mind, to be made
to suffer the ups and downs of political
life.
l have been able to make a good liv-
ing at other things, and hence do not
need the Office in that sense of the word.
However, fully believe that in the
educational field lies the greatest work
that can be done for the betterment of
humanity, and further, / know that l
enjoy the work and rejoice with every
evidence of advancement in the schools
or the children. If, therefore, the pub
lie generally demands my services in
