The Early Days in Spring Valley
BY Joseph Andrews

A. w. Bacon was one of Spring
Valleys pioneers, coming here
with his family in the summer
of 1872 and filing l think On the
two center eighties of the
south half of Section 80, Norway
Township, and building his farm
buildings on the south side of
the farm near the township line.
For all school and social func-
tions he was a part of Spring
Valley and he and his family
took an active part in the educa-
tional and agricultural develop.
ment of Turner County. The
firm of Bacon & Powers was one
of the pioneer threshing machine
firms of the Valley, and for
many years the hum of their
machine was heard early and
late in the season and from dawn
until dark as they went from
farm to farm and pounded out
the golden grain. Both were
popular, both as citizens and as
threshers and in after years
both were highly honored by
their fellow citizens, MIR. Bacon
as county commissioner for four
or more years, and Mr.. Powers
as county Judge, clerk of courts
and state senator. A. W. was
for quite a long time correspon-
dent for the Parker New Era
and in the bitter sectional fight
between Parker and Hurley for
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1912-04-25

the relocation of the county seat
he worked hard with pen and
voice in the interest of Parker.
About twenty years ago he sold
his valuable Spring Valley farm
and reinvested IN land near Hur-
ley, which he highly improved.
Later he sold this farm since
which time he has resided in the
town of Hurley. Last fall he
was again highly honored by be-
elected county commissioner for
the Hurley Commissioners dis
trict. Mr.. and Mrs. Bacon have
a pleasant home in Hurley.
Their children, eight in number,
have all grown up, most of them
are married and are building up
prosperous homes of their own.
Justin lives in South Sioux City,
Marion in Wyoming, BERTHE in
Montana, George has been a
sailor in the navy for some time,
and the balance Of the children
are I think settled in various
parts of South Dakota. Mr..
Bacon is a veteran of the civil
war. He is a painter by trade
and is helping with paint and
brush to beautify many of the
homes in Hurley. May he and
his amible wife prosper and live
many years to enjoy the friend
ship of their many South Dako-
ta friends.

Judging from an examination
OF our exchanges we are inclined
to the belief that the Herald
is about the only paper in the
state that is refusing the adver-
tising of the Omitted Doctors. >
We may be cranks but the Her.

and will never knowingly admit
to it's columns advertising mat
ter calculated to defraud it's sub
scribers.

Contrary to first reports Cen
terville is to be in the dry list as
another proposition was submit
ted at the election on the same
ballot with the liquor question.
This is plain violation if the
state law and consequently in
validates the election. The mat
ter cannot be brought up again
till next year. The liquor peo
pie are probably much disappoin-
ted but we are not particularly
sorry on their account.

ance of this meeting but enough
were present to close up the busi-

The Reporter published at
Boneita Springs west of the
river states that among 14O
homesteads in that vicinity on
which final proof has been made
the owners Of only nineteen still
reside in the community. If
that is a general condition in the
new country development will
be very slow. A stricter law
requiring full i've years resi-.
dence instead Of a shorter time
and cash payment would have
been q great benefit to that
region.
