Mr.. and Slrs. II. l.. Hopkins re-
turned home Thursday morning from a
few days visit at Waterfowl and Es-
feline.
Miss Blanche Ripley of Ramona,
arrived in Brookings Tuesday and will
again start to college. All her friends
are glad TO see her back again.
A letter to the Register this week
tells us that n. A. Martinson, an old
Bookings county boy, is at present
located at Weyburn, Sask., Canada,
where he will have his headquarters
for the next six months. Mr.. Martin
son is collector for the j. l.. Case
Threshing Machine Co.
mail carriers at Aurora, was dis
charged from the hospital yesterday.
He was brought there to be treated
last week, after sustaining severe in
juries by being kicked by a horse.
Prof. II. c.. Solberg returned home
the first of the week from his trip to
Deadwood, where he attended the
state good roads convention. He also
visited Cottonwood and inspected the
new buildings erected on the su5-sta-
ton.
w. r. Vinegar returned home the
last of the week from the Rochester
hospital, where he underwent a seri-
Gus operation. He returns home very
much improved in health, although
still weak from the effects of the OPP
Grafton.
At the council meeting Monday a
committee was appointed to purchase
the furniture and fixtures for the new
city hall, and the city officers will not
move into the new building until these
are in place, which will probably not
be until the first Of the month.
This week we present a cut OF the
new city hall. We had intended to
have this cut to run with our des-
cription Of the building in the last
issue, but it happened to be on Thurs
day mornings train, which was aban-
doned, so we had to go to press with
out it.
The students of the college are
talking strongly Of organizing a COM
pany to be mustered into the South
Dakota National guard, having been
assured by Adjutant General Engels-
by on his recent visit to Brookings
that they would be more than well
come. This would give Brookings two
good companies In the guard.
A line from Hon John E. Diamond
to the Register this week tells Us that
he is basking in the smiles of sunny
California at present and that his
address is Los Angeles. He wants to
know whats new in good old Brook
ings where l started in life 81 years
ago." and the best answer we could
give was to send him the Register.
We are in receipt of a copy of the
Tropical Sun of West Palm Beach,
Florida, by which we note that d. l..
Erwin, formerly Of the Register force,
is now the business manager Of the
publication. Mr.. Erwin Is a good
printer and we expect to see a decided
improvement in the appearance of the
Sun.
Last Friday was grounding day
and there Is considerable dispute as
to whether the little animal saw his
shadow. The sky was overcast dur
ing the day, but once OF twice the
sun peeped out for a few minutes.
Personally we think the grounding
saw his shadow all right and are
figuring on six or eight weeks Of win
ter.
Prof j. w. Wilson returned home
Saturday from the annual meeting
and sale of the South Dakota Live
stock Breeders association. He re-
ports a good meeting and a fair sale,
some OF the stock bringing good
figures and others not so well. Mitch
ell was selected as the meeting place
for next year. Prof. Wilson was re-
elected secretary and treasurer, a
position he filled to the satisfaction
