Boys Show True Patriotism

A safe and sane Fourth was pulled
off in Langford sure enough. Had it
not been for a patriotic bunch of boys
between five and fifteen years of age
the Fourth of July would have come
and gone without anyone knowing it
was the Nations birthday. But thanks
to the boys who are far more patriotic
than the older ones. They had been
busy for several days planning and
arranging for parade which they gave
in the afternoon and evening of the
Fourth, much to the surprise and
delight of all. Their parade in the
afternoon was not the success that the
boys expected it would be. Some of
their floats and wagons were too heavy
and the boys were about exhausted
drawing them through the streets in
the hot sun. But the youngsters. pro-
fitted by their experience in the after
noon, and worked hard for a bigger
and better parade in the evening. They
secured horses for the evening parade
which was headed by two boys on
horseback, each carrying large flag.
Next came the dray all covered with
bunting and flags, and loaded with
happy children, some dressed az clowns
and others as "coons," who put up a
real minstrel performances during the
parade. This was followed by num-
Der of other floats equally as interest
ing. The spectators showed their
appreciation by making up purse of
over $4 for the boys, and the way they
proceeded to fill up on pop, ice cream,
etc., was not slow. Following is the
list of young Americans who took part
in the parade:
Floyd Tompkins, Elmer Tjelle, Glen
Tompkins, George Tompkins, Milton
Smith, Bernare Heinz, Emil Liadberg,
Lester Clark, Ovid Lindberg, Milton
Healy, Robert Miles, Stanley Holdridge
Milton Miles, Clement Miles, Clayton

The following article taken from the
Glencoe Enterprise is in relation to two
of the most popular teachers ever in
the Webster schools and hosts of
friends here will wish for them the
greatest of happiness:
Another one of Austin's most
admirable girls has been snatched bod
lily from our midst, while the Austin
young men sit passively and make no
decided remonstrance.
Miss Lillian F. Gilbertson, whose
family home has been at 211 South
Franklin, was married at high noon
Wednesday to Michael Higgins Ebert,
of st. Paul, fine looking young man,
who looks worthy and appreciative of
the prize he has won.
Mr.. Ebert is state University and
Sigma Xi man and will teach next
year in the Central High School, st.
Paul. He did experimental work in
the government station, st. Paul, last
year.
The bride is graduate of Austin
High and of Carleton College, and has
been teacher. Many delightful things
may be said of her, which tho stereo-
typed, would be nevertheless true.
The Gilbertson type is admirable.
Only immediate relatives witnessed
the ceremony. Cream messaline with
real lace, dainty and wholly effective
creation of the dressmaker's art, made
the bride vision decidedly fair.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ebert left last evening
for trip over the Canadian Pacific and
will be at home in st. Paul later. :"

Lightning Does Mich Damage

The thunder storm which visited this
part of the country Monday night was
one of the heaviest rains of the season.
About eleven O'Clock lightning struck
the Karl Deuichle house few miles
east of town, doing considerable dam
age to the building. 1t struck in the
roof and ran down the wall into the
bed room and struck the bed post and
knocked the castors off the bed where
the family was sleeping but they were
unframed. The screen windows were
fastened on with screws and they were
torn off and several window lights were
broken out. Mrs. Deuichele had a silk
dress hanging up in the closet up stairs
and it was torn into shreds. Shortly
after the house was struck they dis
covered small blaze had started but it
was soon extinguished. They can con-
slider themselves very fortunate that
no one was killed. We understand the
building was insured. Butler Herald.

Hands Webster a Package

One of the prominent features of the
celebration was the failure of Webster
people to attend. This is the first time
in nine years that Bristol has celebra-
ted and we expected that Webster
would reciprocate for the large crowds
Bristol has sent to that city two or
Tree times every year to their cele-
brations, fair, circuses, etc. Butler,
Lily, Pierpont and Andover were here
in body and even Waubay sent up a
larger delegation than did the county
seat. Bristol people will probably bear
this in mind in the future. Day County

ARE YOU A RESIDENT OF
DAY COUNTY
IF YOU ARE GET BUSY
The Time Has Arrived When
There Should Be Something
Doing. Don't Talk About
Bad Year-DO Your
Part

The president of the Day County
Agricultural Fair Association has sent
out the following letter to the directors
whic is self explanatory:
"A meeting of the board of directors
will be held in the Commercial Club
rooms in Webster at p. M, Saturday,
July Is, 1911. As the time is getting
short, it is important that we have a
full attendance to complete our arrange
ments and to get our plans completed
to have the best fair we have ever
had"
The directors cannot make fair.
They must have the assistance of every
man, woman and child in Day county to
make our fair what it should be. This
is not good year in South Dakota,
but we can prove that Day county in
poor years, as in good years, is the best
county in the state. What is necessary
is for all to do their part. Get our
grains and grasses, vegetables and
fruits and our live stock together and
have good time at the county fair.
Then Gull out the very best for an
exhibit at the state fair at Huron.
After the state fair at Huron the Mil
waukee railroad company would like
our exhibit for their car which travels
throughout the cart. 1t is the duty of
every citizen of Webster and Day
county to get busy on this proposition
and help to make the fair a success.
