HENDRICKS.

From the Pioneer:
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Christensen
visited the formers parents and
brothers here the latter part of last
week and until Monday Of this week
Mr.. and Mrs. Christianson are still
living at Valley Springs, S. d., but
for the past five months he has been
on the road for a Sioux Falls fruit
house and is still holding down the
job. Albert is one of those young
men who always makes good.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Nagle sold their
beautiful farm home three miles
south of Hendricks last week 10 w.
II. Wohne, of Somers, Iowa. The
place consists of 1862 acres, well i'm
proved and the price paid was sS5 per
acre. Mr.. Wohne was a former neigh
Dor of w. w. Bum in Iowa and has
had his eye on this locality for some
time. Recently he had an offer OF
1925 per acre for his farm in the
Hawkeye state but did not want to
sell until he had found something
else that suited him. He dropped
up here and succeeded in making a
deal with Mr.. Nagle for his place at
a consideration of $50 per acre, which
is a top-notch price so far for land
in the Hendricks locality. But, even
at this price, Mr.. Nagle no doubt
studied some before he let go of it.

save possibly Saturday nights, and
early closing gives the merchant and
clerks needed recreation. To remain
open the year around is a monotonous
grind. The only mistake is in not
making the hour earlier. The writer
saw the hour of $50 adopted as an ex-
pertinent and changed to 100 the next
year and adhered to thereafter. 1t is
better for the store force to go home
at supper time and remain, and avoid
the beginning of after supper trading.
If people know that all shopping must
be done before supper it avoids all
occasion for overrunning the closing
hour and breaking the agreement.

From the Signal:
The wreck Of the Central passenger
train Monday evening put the mail
and baggage car out OF commission
and on that account the mail service
on this road is greatly crippled. Mail
can only be carried by the pouch sys-
tem-just as it was in the days be-
fore the advent of the latter day a
system. At this writing it is not
known how Don the mail cal can
be put into use again, but the bust
ness men in the towns along the road
sincerely trust it will not be long be-
cause the mail service is badly Grip
pied by reason Of it's absence.
