Now Buy Auditorium Stock.

A stock subscription paper was
started this week for the proposed
new Auditorium building. 1t is pro.
posed to organize company under
the laws of the state of South Dakota,
the shares to have a.par value of $40
each, fully paid and worcestershire.
AS soon as one hundred shares have
been pledged work will commence on
the new building, which the town
stands in great need of. Now If every
one will take hold of this proposition
and subscribe for as liberal block
of this stock as they can, there is no
reason why we should not have this
building completed by the first of
the year. Your money is absolutely
safe, you are not making donation
in any sense of the word, but are max
ing an investment in legitimate bust
ness enterprise that may yield you a
handsome profit on your. investment,
and at the same time you. ARE. doing q
great public good. We will.alI have
to be liberal with our subscriptions
for stock if we want to make the pro-
position u go. II you want little OF
this stock and have not yet subscribed
cali at the PIONEER Office and put
your name down for as many shares
as you feel like you can pay for, or
drop us line and tell us how many
shares you would like to have. It is
estimated that the new building will
cost about 81, 500, and we will all have
to do our very best when We subscribe
for stock There is no such word as
fail if we will all make united effort
and make long and strong pull
altogether for the Auditorium. We
hope to be able to report the stock
all sold by next week and the building
under construction. One half OF the
stock subscribed for is payable when
one hundred shares have been sold
and the balance when the building is
completed. Let's have your subscrip-
ton. Don't wait to be asked. 1t is a
public enterprise that will benefit us
all and in which we should all be in
terested.

his first visit to the town OF Carter,
just across the line in Trip county
south and east of here. We found
Carter larger town than We expect
ed to see, and number of substan-
tial and we'll built buildings, and the
best hotel we have seen in South Da-
kota. Mr.. and Mrs. |. I. Stone, who
operate this very popular place, are
certainly good hotel people, and know
how to make their guests feel ut home
Thanksgiving evening they gave a
stag party to the unmarried men of
that vicinity that was credit to
them and highly appreciated by the
guests. The banquet was an elabo-
rate affair, and the table decorations
were unique and tasteful. Music
was furnished by the Huffman Or
chestra andsthe bachelors who par
ticipated in this affair could not help
but have a kindly feeling toward
their host and hostess. The dance at
the Catholic Hall in the evening was
we'll attended and all present seemed
to be having . good time. The music
furnished by the Huffman Orchestra
was certainly something little bet
ter than the average in this country

dark gray volcanic rocks, the crest OF
which forms an exact likeness of our
immortal George. seemingly lying face
upward, as If in a peaceful sleep. Tht
hero's large. bold features. the back
ward wave Of the hair, his massiv,
shoulders and even the frill of the shirt

scale with wonderful exactness, Th
