RECEPTION FOR MRS. RoEpzB

RECEPTION FOR MRS. RoEr EEL.
The reception at the Globe mine Sat-
urday evening, given by the many
friends and neighbors of Mrs. Roetzel
as welcome home greeting, was de-
cided success. A short and appropriate
program was rendered after which re-
freshments were served, the Roetzel
family being seated at table over
which was draped large flag bearing
the Stars and stripes, also beautiful
wreath made of fkinnakinick loaded with
red berries.
Mr.. Roerzel then made short speech,
thanking his friends in behalf of him
self and family for their kindness and
good wishes (cheers.) The remaining
few hours were passed in tripping the
light fantastic toe to the music of the
violin, banjo and organ. The happy,
smiling faces of all who we're present
told better than words how glad all were
to have the wife, mother and friend in
our midst once more.

CLARENCE l.. LEWIS.

Clarence l.. Lewis, republican candi-
date for judge of the circuit court, has
been lawyer in South Dakota for the
past thirty years and in practicing his
profession not only has he reared re-
putation for honesty and square dealing
but also as an attorney of ability and
learning. He held the position of coun-
ty judge for a period of FIVE years in
Pennington county, and during that
time adjudicaled the settlement of es-
tates involving more than 81 100000.
Of four appeals taken from his decision
three were sustained by the supreme
court of the state and one was modified
to the extent of 5000. During his career
as a lawyer the citizens of Rapid City
and the country have entrusted to his
care much of the important litigation,
which has found its way to the highest
tribunal of the United States and state.
Where the question has been one finally
of law as applying to a given state of
fact Judge Lewis has almost universally
been sustained by these august tribunals.
Among the cases of more than passing
moment with which he has been identi-
fed is that of Henry G. Denet against
the city of Rapid City; Mccarthy VS..
the First National Bank Missouri River
and Western vs.. G. ID. Crouch, and
others. He represented the Reed heirs
in the Holy Terror Mine; The Elks AS
sociation in litigation with the First
National Bank of Huron and many other
cases which were either for individuals
or corporations. In Judge Lewis the
voter has a candidate bearing reputa-
ton for honesty and a character above
reproach. Rapid City Journal.

BEAVER VALLEY AND VICINITY
BY E.P. KING
Oct. ~, 1914.

Gene Drain and Charles Knapp re-
turned last week from the harvest fields
in the eastern part of the state.
The friends of NJ iss Cora Sutherland
gave her surprise Saturday night by
their appearance at her house, as she
came home from Custer, to celebrate the
advent of her birth. A very joyous
time is reported.
F. L. Lewis left for Illinois last week
to look over some land in that country
in which he is interested.
France Shcker has bought the Scho-
field timber land, which was owned by
Chris Nelson, and expects to launch in =
to the lumber business.
E. E. Serry and Walter Brandt were
visiting at their homes over Sunday.
The stringing of the wire on the new
park fence began last Wednesday, and
is progressing very well considering the
roughness of the ground that they have
to string over. There is about mile of
posts still to set. 1t will probably be a
month yet before the enclosure is ready
to admit the animals.
We have had two quite heavy rains
here within week, and the last one
ended up with about an inch of snow
which melted off about as fast as it fell.
The weather is still unsettled, and more
snow is expected.
most enjoyable party was given at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Telander last
week in honor oftheir niece, Misc Agnes
johnson of Stockholm, Sweden, who is
visiting with them here. The young
lady will leave for Denver this week to
visit with relatives in that city.

SCHOOL NOTES.


The Primary and intermediate grades
are making many interesting things
symbalical of Halloween, which comes
on the last day of this month.
W.
Wednesday afternoon the pupils of
Miss Garlock's and Miss McEnaney's
rooms cleaned up all the rubbish on the
school grounds.
Only one absence was reported from
the third and fourth grades this week.
*x*
Mrs. ]. McKenna was visitor We'd
nesday morning.
Dodge Ball is new game which the
fifth and sixth grade girls will start next
week, under the direction of Miss Nc
Enaney. Later they plan to take up Vol
ley Ball.
Birdelia Ayres has been taken out of
the primary department, preparatory to
the family moving away.
*x*
There is keen rivalry in the second
intermediate over spelling. Hazel Will.
kinson holds the record with several
successive grades of one hundred.
*x*
Next Tuesday afternoon the school
will celebrate Flag day with appropriate
exercises. Everybody is invited.
*s*
1t is to be regretted that so many
people send their children away to
school, when they haye not yet finished
the home school. 1t must be due, ex.
cept in some cases, to the ignorance Of
the parent concerning the home institu
ton, or desire for the child to have
something "better" than he can get at
home.
The Custer schools have long striven
to prepare the pupils for life, or for ad-
vanced education and have succeeded as
may be shown by the fact that of the
many pupils entering other schools, not
one has been reported as not being up
to grade.
The Custer schools have an efficient
corps of teachers and other advantages
whereby boy or girl may enjoy the
privileges of a first class school at very
little expense.
A good school is great thing for a
community and sending your children
to this school is the first step in home
industry. So long as pupil can get at
home what he would get elsewhere, and
a pupil must have a certain number of
credits which he can get here as we'll as
anywhere, why not keep that money at
home. Then. too. school cannot
broaden out with limited number of
pupils. and have athletics, literary, and
other progressive movements. People
should realize this and make there
slogan, "Custer schools for Custer's
children"
The flag for the Custer School has ar.
rived and will be raised next Tuesday.
A short program has been arranged
and will be given at the opening of the
afternoon session. Visitors are cordially
invited. Miss Garlock and Miss Titus
will have charge of the'following pro-
gram:
America.
Flag Salute.
Facts About the Flag.
The Flag to It's Makers.
My Flag and Your Flag.

effect that Mrs. j. H. Fleming, who
formerly made her home with the
late Col c. r. Walters here, but now
resides with Mrs. Dan C. Davis at
Newton, Kansas, fell down stairs
day or two ago, fracturing her hip
and receiving severe bruises. She
was taken to the Bethel hospital for
treatment. Mrs. Fleming is in her
87th year and an injury Of that kind

Judge Graves took blue ribbon out
