Have an Aim In Life.

Go into a factory where they make
mariners compasses, and you may
see the needles before they have been
magnetized. They will then point in
any direction, but from the moment
they are applied to the magnet they
point to the north, and are true to
the pole ever afterward. In this they
are like the young man before and
after he has q purpose in life.

EDITOR:
thought that | would write a
few lines for you to publish for the
benefit of my many friends in Erwin
and De Smet, as there are many of
them / thought that would be the
easiest way to let them know my
whereabouts. | am witnessing one
of the finest winters of my life. We
are having fine weather, have had
little snow, just enough to give it the
appearance of winter. | am located
about Is miles north of Buffalo, the
county seat of Harding County. Buff
falo, is a town just one year old but
n of rapid growth, having two big
mercantile stores, two meat markets,
D large hotel to accommodate the
many home-seekers, two printing
offices, a liquor patlor, a blacksmith,
a feed and livery stable, a drug store,
bank, postoffice, and last of all but
nos least an opera house. The popula-
ton is about three hundred. We are
anxiously waiting for the railroad
that they have promised the people.
There are quite a number of beauti
ful sights around here. The Cave
Hill with its towering pines and many
caves and greas mud Buttes, and the
long chain called Slim Buttes, whose
soil locks like cement, is a pretty
sight for the eve about sunset. 1t
looks just like a large chain Of fire.
There are quite a number of wild
creatures of the prairie, sucn as coy
otes, wolves and antelope in these
hills. Some of these buttes fur
nish the settlers with fuel, for
the coal is easily mined and makes
an excellent fire. The soil is light,
easily titled; it has an abundant
growth Of grass, cactus and sage
brush which the old settlers a de.
notes fertile soil. The country is
getting settled very rapidly, settlers
coming in daily. Our nearest railroad
station is Bowman, N. d., IS miles
from here on the Milwaukee railroad,
and Belle Fourche being our next
nearest railroad station, located about
IS miles south Of us on the North
western.
There isn't much labor going on
here at present, everything lis pretty
quiet. Our main occupation al prssent

DO plenty Of each. This Is MI at
