is guest at the Rankin home.


James Padgett Jr., manager of the
local Western Union Telegraph office,
is performing a valuable service to
growers OF this section gratis. When
ever the weather reports are unfavor-
able, or there is danger of frost or
freeze, Mr.. Padgett puts up notice
Ia the postoffice and to all having tele-
phones he sends word direct. The
service is one which the growers
hereabouts greatly appreciate, and
several of them have mentioned
their appreciation of the service to
The News.
In their latest letter to the orange
growers Of the State, Chase & Co.
say, that .'the market on oranges was
well cleaned up; demand active, mar
ket strong. We will ship moderately
during the next 10 days or two weeks.
Ii there is any tendency to rush the
fruit forward this month it will be on
the part of the small operators. We
believe the larger shippers will hold
their shipments back and figure on
moving the remainder of the fruit
which is on the trees, over longer
period than usual. This will natural
ly tend to hold the market firm and
avoid an oversupply. Shipments of
grapefruit are light, the demand ac-
tive and market strong. The growers
owning grapefruit of good quality
are looking for higher prices, and are
not in any hurry to move the fruit"

Redield, S. D.-The county agent
of the Sphinx county better farming
association, in reviewing farm con-
ditions in the county, states that
threshing is making good progress,
although many fields still remain UNI
threshed, rains having delayed oper-
ations to some extent. The threshing
machine returns continue to demon
strate that Sphinx county's wheat
crop compares favorably with that
of any section of the state, reports
from six farms with an aggregate of
$50 acres in wheat showing an aver
age of 1873 bushels per acre.
Many farmers are already cutting
their corn to fill their silos, and the
agent urges the use of great care in
filing the silos, explaining that sill
age is spoiled from but two causes,
dryness and air. He urges that three
men engage in tramping down the
silage as it is put in the silo, to make
sure that 1t is packed solidly to pre-
vent the presence of air, and that
silage be wet as it is blown into the
silo, instead of waiting until the silo
is full and then wetting it down.
Ten cases of hog cholera have al
ready been reported in the county,
and the agent reminds the farmers
that these ten cases may contain
germs enough to carry the disease

"WIIITE" SLAYER
THIS Is CHARGE OF COLORED
WOMAN COMPANION.-MIAN
BEING HELD ON CHARGE
OF DISTURBING PEACE.

l.. D. Dupree, colored, is a white"
SLAYER. This is the charge made by
Ada Payne, also chocolate-hued, who
said the mar has travelled with her
in several states and across several
state lines since leaving Topeka,
Kan. The pair was take min custody
by the police Saturday evening.
Early in the evening Dupree and
the Payne woman had "a noisy quar-
rel, presumably over her earnings, on
lower Main street. The disagree
ment evidently vas continued, for
later in the evening they became so
~boisterous in their arguments that
they were both arrested for disturb
ing the peace at a negro rooming
house on upper Main street.
After their arrest, the negress in
formed the police that she had been
travelling with Dupree over a consid-
cradle range of territory in the past
few months and that his actions had
constituted a violation of the Mann
act. States Attorney Miller has
written to the office of the federal
district attorney at Sioux Falls for
instructions.
