world and try their luck" During
the past decade hundreds have gone
from Fremont and Cedar township
and many CT them have attained their
ambition, while some, equally anxious
to make good, have lacked the chance
to gain their goal. OF those who
have met with splendid success is
Chas. T. Charnock, of Sioux Falls, s.
d. Years ago he was a barefoot boy
! on his fathers farm in White Oak
/ township and moved with the family
to Cedar, Iowa, where his father, w.
| I. Charnock, conducted a blacksmith
and repair shop tor years. He learn.
| ed the trade, but after working at it
| a while concluded he could better
himself in some other line of bust
ness, so about fifteen years ago lie
moved to Tea, S. d., and from there
to Sioux Falls, S. D., then a growing
town, and now one of the live cities
of our sister state. He engaged in
the real estate business, which has
proved most profitable and he Is
now one of the substantial citizens Of
that thriving city. This spring a
number of his friends prevailed upon
him to allow his name to be used
as a candidate before the primary
for the office of county commission
er of the fourth district, which COM
prses four of the large wards of
Sioux Falls. He was pitted against a
Norwegian who was chairman of the
county board, but Mr.. CharnoCk's
popularity, his reputation for honesty
and probity, gave him small margin
of the votes and his many friends in
this part of the country hope for him
a triumphant victory at the polls in
November.
