right piano for good horse or

The resuming OF school has been
put off for another week. The
board has concluded that on &C
count of the extreme severity of
the weather it would be unwis e
for children living at distance to
attempt to get in, and for the fur
Their reason that the supply of coal
here is of course getting smaller
all the time with no assurance from
railroad sources when more may
expected to arrive. 1t has therefore
been decided to await develop
ments.
Insure your property at Stock
Growers State Bank. Best COM
panies and cheapest rates.
P. D. Kribs came i'll by team
from Cheyenne Junction Mon
day having reached that place in
the same manner from Mobridge
the day before. He had been at
Mobridge for several days wait
ing for train out and at length
concluded there would be none
for some time, so made arrange
ments with the postmaster at Mo-
bridge to bring a couple of sacks
OF first class mail with him and
made the trip overland. His
thoughtfulness in bringing as
much mail as he could was much
appreciated here.
Taken up: A bay mare colt a.
bout 7 or 8 months old. First came
to place last Oct. c. G Schrader.
While at Aberdeen P. D. Kribs
took up the matter of mail service
for this section of the country, by
stage until such time as the trains
resume their regular schedule, and
was SO far successful that an offer
tor bids has been made to carry
the mail by team. and as soon as
these have been received and COM
municated to the postal depart
ment at Washington by wire, it is
probable that the service will be
authorized. Mr.. Kribs' plan is to
have one driver make the distance
from Mobridge to this place,
changing teams at Cheyenne Jun
ction. Have other drivers go
from here to Isabel and from there
south to Dupree, Eagle Butte and
Faith. Even if the train should
be able to resume its Internationally
trips with any degree of regularity
he believes that the mail should be
brought to this place on the DAYS
that the train does not run and in
corporated that in his statement to
the chief mail clerk.
An exchange says the girls of a
western town have an anti-slanp
society. A certain maid was elect
ed president. When asked if she
would accept, she replied: Sure
Mike, but gosh girls, l am so rat
tied in my cupola that l am really
short of CAB. We are certainly
hitting the high places and | never
tumbled to such poise before
but when | give you the high ball
l ii expect you to get there Eli and
and whopper up for all that's out:
| think I'm up to snuff enough SO
