C.. A. Skinner, who returned home
last week from a several weeks west
ern trip, informs us that nowhere did
he find a section that looked better to
him than good old B~rookings county.
He found places where the climate
a more equitable, and there the
chief asset was climate, but for oppor-
tunities to make money and generally
a good country to live in he says that
no place compared with Brookings
county. He saw a good part Of the
west, visiting all of the Coast states
and several on this side, and he says
that eastern oregon looked about as
good to him as any.
There will be held In Brookings on
September IA one Of the most unique
and interesting services incident to
the opening of the public schools. Rev.
C. F. Hoffman will join with clergy
men in all parts Of the country in a
prayer for all free schools. These
prayers will be uttered in all the
tongues of men almost simultaneously.
Special sermons on the subject OF
religious and moral education will
also be preached. The aim is to have
the Bible made a text book in all
schools. This worldwide service has
been arranged by the National Reform
Association which has its headquarters
in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Geo. Kennard brought us up some
samples of his corn this week and
they are the finest ever. Minnesota
No. 13, that old reliable, has done
splendidly for Mr.. Kennard this year,
but he Is especially proud of his North
Dakota flint. The ears of this variety
measures about twelve inches in length
and he tells us that they are only the
average Of the entire field. He says
that this is the finest fodder and ensil.
age corn that a be grown and he is
willing to wager that he will get more
feed per acre off of this patch than can
be gotten of Of any other field in the
county. We had suspected that N
Zimmerman was the champion corn
grower OF this section, but the evi-
dence now favors our friend George,
and he will wear the crown, at least
until we hear from Mr.. Zimmerman.
r. III. Bartlett moved his Variety
Store to the ley Roberts building on
Williams street, just off Main, this
week. He will use both the main floor
and the basement, displaying his
dishes, glassware and tinware in the
latter place. This gives him a greatly
increased amount of room and he has
added largely to his stock as a conse'
quence. The walls Of the main room
are beautifully tinted and the ceiling
is OF steel. The lighting is the indirect
system, the lamps being shaded to
throw the light against the ceiling
where 1t Is radiated over the room
and it is proving very successful. The
counters and other fixtures are all
new and are of solid oak. The display
window is a large one. with a back
ground Of mirrors, and gives a very
metropolitan air to the store. A spell
ing sign" sixteen feet high will grace
the corner over the main entrance
facing toward Main street. Altogether
MI. Bartlett has n of the finest
places of business in the city, and thai
the people of Brookings appreciate
his enterprise Is shown. by the large
crowds that have visited the store
this week.
