ANDERSON FAMILY REUNION
Held at their Home Sunday Nov.
ember 5th. Children all Pres
ent for First Time in
Twenty Years

Sunday, November 9Th, will be
day long remembered by Mr..
and Mrs. Edward Anderson and
will go down in the history of the
family as one of the important
dates. For the first time in twen-
ty years the Anderson family were
all under one roof, at the home of
the parents in Philip, and in CON-
memoration of the day, a family
reunion was held which perhaps
can never be repeated again. The
following members of the family
were in attendance: Il. +. Ander-
son and Orville S. Anderson, of
Pukwana, James Carson Ander-
son and Uly sses S. Anderson, of
Marietta, Mrs. Bell Hope, of
Platte, Melvin ID. Anderson and
Mrs. Rosa f. Conrad, of Dunno
beck, Eliza G. Anderson, of Tyn-
dali, and Asa Guy, of Philip. The
entire family visited the High
Studio and a picture was taken of
the groupe, after which they re-
turned to the parental home and
partook of a bountiful dinner. Af-
ter visiting at the home of their
parents and spending a few days
in this vicinity they left for their
respective homes.
Edward Anderson is one of the
real pioneers of South Dakota,
coming to this state in the year of
1861, and in the fall enlisted in
the First South Dakota Cavalry
and served during the Civil War
until May, 1865. After being
mustered out, he went to Story
county, Iowa, where he met Miss
IS j. Griffith whom he married
March 28th, 1866. He returned
to South Dakota in 1863 and pre-
empted a quarter section of land
near Vermillion. Twelve children
we're born to Mr.. and Mrs. Ander-
son, nine of whom are still living.
A staunch friend of the laboring
man, Mr.. Anderson believes in
those principles which tend to
place all men on an equal footing,
with special privileges and favor
itism shown to none and equal
rights to all.

Rock county. six of the seven
deaths reported occurred and a
few miles away at Milton, a sew
enth was found dead in the ruins
of a storm wrecked home. In the
village of Virginia near Spring

stores, churches, theaters and city
property.
Many were injured in the swirl
of flying timbers and some of these
will probably die. In Des Moines,

11th, 1911, when the telegram
came from DR.. French in New
York City announcing that the

years. Later. on May 26th, 1911

raised before November 11th. 1911
Unexpected pledges arrived from

pledges during the campaign.

of Huron as we'll as the students
and employees of the college have
stood by the institution nobly.

Artist

Stock Growers News: A num-
Der from Fort Pierre will attend
the meeting Of the Stanley COun-
ty Development League, at Philip,
Nov. II. An afternoon meeting
will be held and number of
prominent speakers will be there
to address the delegates. Let all,
who can, attend.
Cottonwood Republican: Mrs.
Martin Mortenson, living south of
town, was seriously injured in a
runaway near the Carl kunth place
last week. She was ust returning
home with the children from visit
at Carl's when the horses spilled
them all out by tipping over the
buggy in a bad place in the road.
The bad roads are blamed for
the accident and steps are now
being taken to fix them up. Mrs.
Mortenson is much better at this
writing.
Midland Mail: Potatoes are
selling at 50 cents a bushel in Mid
land, while they are reported as
selling at $500 in Des Moines
Iowa. There must have been
something the matter with the
potatoe crop in the good old Hawk
eye State. Some people seem to
think that this section is in the
Great American Desert where
crops cannot be raised.
FairpIay: Two big land deals
were closed 10 the north part of
the county this week. Hugh p.
Lutz, a Chicago attorney and
counselor for the Chicago Railways
Company, was here representing
eastern parties, and purchased the
Mississippi ranch of 1920 acres,
also the Eb Jones ranch of 800
acres, both in the Cheyenne river
country. 1t is understood that
the entire 1000 acres will be plac-
ed under irrigation without delay.
Quinn Courant: Nj. G.. Higbee
has secured the station at Powell,
and expects to move there in about
a week. Mr.. Higbee is making
the change because that will bring
him so much nearer to his farm
north of Philip. 1t is not yet
known who will succeed Mr..
Higbee here.
Stock Growers News: The fact
that one of the spectators on the
side lines hit Lead player during
the game last Saturday should
cast no reflection on the Fort
Pierre team, as they are as clean
a bunch of young men as is to be
found in the state. There are
however, several local sports q
who seem to delight in making a
nuisance of themselves at every
game on the home grounds. They
indulge in personalities and get in
sulting. This does not help the
team as it gives them a name which
they do not deserve. Let it be
hoped that in the future every
man in Fort Pierre will remember
that he is at least supposed to be
agentleman.
Cottonwood Republican: Some
petty thieves broke into the Cotton
wood Mercantile Company's store
last night, and succeeded in carry
ing away about $500 worth OF
nickels which were in the till. The
robbers entered by the north win.
dow which was found open this
morning. They looked over the
bunch of sheep lined coats and
overalls but did not take any. The
safe which contained all the postal
funds was unmolested. No cIew
to trace the guilty parties has
been found.

Along city streets II Is not feasible
TO leave large open space around the
