IRA DEUEL.

Daughter at Wilmont
Friday Night.

Grandpa Deuel., age 81 years,
passed away Friday night, De-
cember 4, 1914, following a seri-
Gus operation and the subsequ-
ent illness. He made a brave
stand and it was only due to his
strong constitution and eXcep-
tional vitality that he was spared
so long. Twice since he was
eighty years old he has with
stood serious attacks of pneu.
monia, either which would have
proven fatal to the ordinary man
of his years.

was married in 1S49 to Mary j.
Seely, who has been his constant
and faithful companion for over
sixty five years. They lived at
Rush, Pa, where he was engage
ed in farming and carpenter
work for the next sixteen years.
In 1865 the family moved to Lee
mark, Illinois, where they took a
homestead and lived for forty
two years Eight years ago to
be nearer their children, they
disposed of the homestead and
moved to this county, making
their home in this city with their
daughter, Mrs. Wiseman.
| To the union was born seven
children, five of whom are living
and were with him to care for
and com fort him in his last hours
here on earth. They are: Mrs.
Mary Wiseman and Wallace
deuel. of this city, Mrs. R. b..
Dilley of Pasadena, CAL, Mrs.
Ella Paine of Cashmer, Wash,
and Mrs. Flora Backus of Mime
apolis.
Besides the children and aged
wife there are sixteen grand
children and fourteen great

all kindness to his family and to
his fellowman.

At the Government School

Miss Hazel Wagy, an instruc-
tor at the government school, de-
lightfully entertained ten of Miss
fuckers girl friends Saturday
evening, December 18th. The af-
fair was another pre.nuptial party,
a handkerchief shower, given in
honor of Miss Tucker whose mar
riage takes place in St. Paul De-
cember 3Oth. The party was a
complete surprise to Miss Tucker,
who was called to Miss Wagy's
room on the pretext of illness.
When the excitement of the sur
prise had subdued, Miss Wagy
handed each guest slip of paper
on which wasa tumble of letters to
form into familiar saying which
proved to be, two hearts that
beat as one Miss Tucker being
the first to form the words was
awarded box of home made
candy.
A dainty two course buffet lunch
con was served A third course
was handed to Miss Tucker in a
pretty basket and she was asked
to pass it to the guests: when the
cover was removed the guest of
honor discovered that the basket
contained tiny packages all address
sed to herself.

KNOW YOUR
own STATE
Interesting Article About
Our State Written by
Gov. Byrne.

E.Naggeration is both unneces-
sary and undesirable, for but one
thing is needed and that is a cor
rect conception of what constitutes
the real South Dakota, climatical-
lv, commercially, socially and in
dustrially. A lack of knowledge
and failure to appreciate the true
extent and magnitude of the state,
i'll a production sense, are respon-
sible largely for any inadequate or
misleading estimate which may pre-
vail i'll certain quarters, and we
are confident that this information
will quickly dispel any such cloud
of misunderstanding.
South Dakota is the land of OPP
portunity. She is favorably locat-
ed in that portion of the great
Northwest which has the greatest
potential future of any section of
thecountry and her continued rapid
development is undoubted and un-
questioned. On her broad prairies
there is a place for additional
thousands and indeed good fortune
awaits him who here wisely tills
the soil. Reports of actual ac-
complishment show that South Da-
kotans are realizing great dividends
in alfalfa culture, stock farming,
dairying, in the production of
fruit, in fact, in all the various
agricultural branches and diversi-
ties.
Our towns are growing, they are
rapidly charging into cities and
opportunities await development
i'll each and all of them.
In the western portion of our
state, we have the wonderful Black
Hills teeming with mineral wealth
and abounding in senic marvels.
They are natural vacation ground
and sanitorium and offer unlimited
possibilities to the health and plea
sure seeker.
South Dakota has in the past
made good, for many years she has
produced more new wealth capita
than any other state in the union;
her present position is enviable;
and her future is certain.
We believe, and conditions as
evidenced sustain our confidence,
that in agricultural development,
i'll mining activity, i'll trade, i'll civic
growth, in added literacy and in
general progress, South Dakota is
entering into period of acceler-
ated advancement, that in the con-
test of the states, she is to more
than maintain her own, and that to
her people she will bring added
happiness and enhanced prosperity
through her many avenues of util-
ity and progress.
