History of Interesting Event
Covers Two Decades
NATIONAL REPUTATION
Worldwide Advertisement Of
South Dakota as Corn Pro-
ducing State

In 1892 the first corn palace was established
at Mitchell, the object of which was to advertise
the resources of the State. 1t was reproduced in
1893, but from that period until 1000 the palace
was out Of commission, mainly, because OF the
poor crops in the Northwest, there was little to
advertise. However, in 1898 the reversal came;
there was plenty of moisture, and the crops grew,
thrived and yielded abundantly. In 600 the
corn palace idea was revived and each succeed
ing year it has advertised the states resources in
a very thorough manner.
The corn palace is sustained wholly by
popular subscriptions of the business men o.
Mitchell, and it is the wonder of many much
larger cities that a town of 5000 inhabitants
had the nerve to promote such an enterprise and
keep it going year after year. Each year the
business men of the CITY establish a fund OF

Ten Things to Do This Month
(From The Progressive Farmer)

s. Plow clay lands and those
wanted for very early crops,
taking special care to guard
against winter washes: sow rye
on plowed lands, if practicable.
8. Kill the hogs as soon as
their condition and the weather
permit; keep close watch on all
STOCK and about the poultry
houses.
10. Make the winter evenings
pleasant; provide plenty of fuel
good lights, good books anc
papers and some games anc
music.

The Progress Walls :

The Easley Progress speaks
with pride about some people
from near Pickens going to Eas-
ley to trade. Nothing strange
about that. One of the Easley
merchants is advertising in The
Pickens Sentinel. Moral: If
you want to sell goods advertise
in The Sentinel. '-Pickens Sen
tinel.
Yes, we do, and will continue
to do so so long as we have op-
portlnity. It is the TRUTH
and those we haye mentioned
heretofore, are among the best
people of the county, and we
are glad to see them; and to
know that they have read The
Progress and have come to Eas-
ley to trade with our merchants.
The moral put forth in the Sen
tinel will not hold good. as the
reason an Easley merchant ad-
vertises in that paper is to fur
ther carry out our "pride'' (they
were coming to Easley to trade
before any Of our merchants
advertised in the Sentinel.) and
get others to do as those whom
we made mention. Why let
them come. A free country, a
Democratic President and every
body happy. Listen: The Eas-
ley merchant advertises in the
Progress also, regularly, the
one medium in reach of people
that do not take both papers.
Some business to that. Next"
-Easley Progress.
Oh, well, you needn't throw
a fit about it. And what did
you put the word truth in CAPT
tails for? The people wouldn't
believe it if you had put it in
black face italic. The Progress
makes us smile. Evidently the
office devil wrote the article and
thought he had put something
about politics in it. We can't
make out what a Democratic
president has to do with Easley.
It's a pretty GOOD town. but
Woodrow Wilson never heard
of it. The article takes up a
good deal Of space, but we wish
to help the writer of it out 1--WE
always were kind-hearte0 and
publish it in The Sentinel SO
that people may see it. AS for
the one medium" DO, let us
give you a few facts: The
Pickens Sentinel has more paid
up subscribers than the Progress
now has or ever has had. It is
recognized as the leading coun-
tv paper, and we print more
Pickens county news in one
week than the Progress does in
two weeks.
We really ought to charge
our contemporary for advertis-
ing. as people will read this who
never heard Of the Progress be-
fore.
(We haven't a Democratic
president yet. Mr.. Taft will be
president until next March,
D. Y. No charge for this infor-
nation.

The Old Hearth-Stone Lies Cold

By Mrs. J. H Newton, Laurel
Hill. Pickens county, S. G.
We miss the light
From the old hearth stone
This chill November night,
The nantel is dark and lone.
The solitary candle that burn
ed,
Long and slow,
From the> socket has been
turned
To shine no more.
In vain we search
For the kindling wood
On the dear old porch,
Where it was kept dry and good.
The wooden pail stands dry,
That held the water so long,
Dipped from the spring close
by,
That bubbles on through story
and song.
Hark! we hear an acorn drop
From the yard trees thick and
tall;
The busy world seemeth to
stop
And hail them lord of all.
They watch by day and by
night,
The soil from which they grew,
Waiting for the old home
light
Smiling on the old kitchen COW
cred with dew.
The garden, smoke house and
orchard say,
Why grow the weeds so high?
No football cometh day after
day
Where grew the verdant rye.
When the day is gone and the
sun sets,
We are constrained to call
The kind and faithful pets;
But they are gone, one and all.
No midnight signal is heard
From the cedar tree high,
Which sheltered the honest
bird
That told that dawn was nigh.
When birds sing in woodland
bowers,
We can't give, but will loan
To summer winds and flowers.
Thee Old hearth stone.
When winter winds blow
BriHg fagots of gratitude
That will keep the old hearth
aglow,
While left in solitude.
