County bank, closed on the first of
the wear by the state bank examiner,
will reopen its doors within a few
weeks. The affairs of the bank have
been found to be in not so bad shape
as expected. the difficulty being on
account Of the crop failures and the
removal Of the troops from Sturgis,
which made loans uncollectible. A
plan has been proposed to the de-
positors by which they are permitted
TO draw their funds every three
months in limited amounts and to
renew old time certificates for stated
periods, and nearly all Of the deposit
tors are signing the agreement. When
a sufficient number have agreed it is
/ understood that Sioux Falls capital
lists have offered aid and will place
the bank in a position to resume. The
bank examiner hopes to put the plan
into effect and pay the depositors
dollar for dollar within nine months.
At the Grand Pacific hotel at Pierre
Thursday evening occurred the mar
riage of Napoleon Welcome, of Fort
Pierre, y years cid, and Laura
Brooks, of Morristown, Mimi, aged
Is. Welcome is one of the Oldest
settlers at Fort Pierre, and has been
married several times. He and his
children by former marriages do not
agree, and he had lived alone. Some
time ago Welcome went to Morris
town with a shipment OF horses, and
while at that place was badly injured
by one of the horses. Miss Brooks
assisted in caring for him while he
was laid up by his injuries.
c. F. Hilgenboeker, one of the pio-
neer residents of Hughes county, died
Thursday, after lying unconscious
since his injury from falling from a
load of hay the first Of the week.
c. H. Payne, of Glenham believes
that the end of the world is near at
hand and says that he has had a
vision giving him direction for mott
flying mankind of its approach and
warning them to repent. He is a we'll
educated man, and seems firmly con-
vinced that he is right in his pro-
phecy.
AS a result of a rally held by the
Dutch Reformed church it
is thought that a college for that de-
nomination may be lated there.
They have had an ACADEMY there for
years, but the neares church college
patronized by the Hollanders is in
Michigan.
The opening of the engine factory
of the Knowlton Mfg. Co., at Canton,
was celebrated last week with an
elaborate program and great rejoic-
ing. 1t is a modern factory and is a
valuable addition to Canton's bust
ness enterprises.

HAIR HEALTH,
II You Have Scalp or Hair Trouble
Accept This Offer

When we promise your money back
for the mere asking If Rexall 1913"
Hair Tonic does not do as We claim
it will, you certainly have no reason
for even h~esitating to try it. We do
not ask you to obligate yourself in
any way.
We could not afford to so strongly
endorse Rexall "93" Hair Tonic and
continue to sell it as we do, il it did
not do all We claim. Should our en-
thusiasm carry us away, and Rexall
1913" Hair Tonic not give entire sat
isfaction to the users, they would lose
faith in US and our statements, and
in consequence our business prestige
would suffer.
Therefore when we assure you that
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will promptly
eradicate dandruff, stimulate hair
growth and prevent premature bald
ness, you may rest assured We know
what We are talking about.
We honestly believe that Rexall
1913" Hair Tonic will do more than
any other human agency toward re-
storing hair growth and hair health.
1t is not greasy and will not gum the
scalp or hair or cause permanent stain
1t Is as pleasant to use as pure cold
water, 1t comes in two sizes, prices
so cents and $1.00. Remember, you
can obtain it only at our store,-The
Rexall Store. C. ID. Kendall.
