Grant County Granite.
The New Court House will be Good
Place to Put 1t.

While the board Of county COM
missioners have the matter of
the new court house under con.
slderatiOn we desire to call atten-
tion to the fact that it would be a
particularly gratifying thing TO
have some of our Grant county
granite worked into the building.
Only the fact of greater cost pre-
cludes the possibility of using
the granite for the entire build
ing. It is of this same granite
that the Hennepin county court
house in Minneapolis is built,
and the Milwaukee depot in that
city also has large amount of
this granite in it's construction,
and the state capital at Pierre
has some of it in it's walls. Tho
hard to work. and therefore
more expensive as building ma
terial than the softer stones, the
granite is recognized as the ne
plus ultra in building stone. To
keep within the limitation of the
$4,000 authorized, the softer
stone will have to be used for the
greater part of the structure,
but we suggest, that as far as
possible our home granite be
given a place in this county build.
ing. 1t will be a fine ADVERTISE
ment for Grant county pro-
duct. and the enduring qualities
OF the stone will make it q lasting
pleasure to Grant county people
for all the years to come.

Court House Bonds Sold
The Bonds Bring $50 Premium and
Were Taken by the Minnesota
Loan and Trust 20.

Last Monday the commission
ers met in special session to
open the bids on the purchase Of
the new court house bonds.
Some twelve bids were put in by
different financial companies, but
none of these were satisfactory
to the board and it was decided
to put the bonds up at public
auction to the highest bidder. A
number of bids were made by
the different companies who had
representatives present, the bid
ders gradually dropping out Of
the bidding until t he premium
offered had reached about $500
when only two contestants were
left and the highest bid amount
ed TO $50 premium, for the
$45, 900 worth of bonds at Al
per cent and were purchased by
the Minnesota Loan g. Trust Go.
of MINNEAPOLIS, who is to fur
nish the printed forms for the
honds and all other expenses con
nected with the transfer.
This sale of the bonds is con-
sidered a particularly good one
considering the state of the
money market, as it was thought
by many that it would not be
possible to dispose of the bonds
at par The excellent sale nego-
tiated was made possible by the
interest taken in the matter by
local flnanciers. and it was by
negotiations of the First Nation
al bank of this city that the Min
nesota Loan & Trust Co., were
induced to make the bid that
they did on the bonds.
The board of county commits
sioners are actively at work on
the court house matter, and the
day following the sale of bonds q
nu mber of architects were pre-
sent to make offer of plans for
the new building.

J. Engstrom of Summit and Mrs. w.
r. Poison of Aberdeen. Mrs. Mo-
lander has been living in Aberdeen
the last six years at her daughters
home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Molander were char
ter members OF the Swedish Lutheran
church OF Milbank and were faithful
workers In that institution during
their stay there.
Mrs. Molander was . quiet, unas-
suming. lovable woman, devout
christian, good wife and . mother
in every sense that the word can imply,
she was . good neighbor and her gem
tie smile and pleasing manner was .
true reflection Of the unselfish soul

The Pierre correspondent of
the Aberdeen American, which
has been giving short write up
of the members of the legisla.
ture, has the following on the
senator from this county.
The president protein of the
senate is Senator G. s. Amsden
of Milbank, Grant county, an
Office in honor the second in
command.
This session it is not an Office
Of very great responsibility or
with very strenuous duties en-
tailed for the good reason that
the president Of the senate,
Lieutenant Governor Peter Nor
heck is almost always on the lob
and doing his duty ably and with
fairness to all.
You don't hear much about
Senator Amsden because he
says he never had q hobby. He
simply believes in constructive
and conservative legislation
irrespective Of politics.
He is serving his fifth term in
the senate and is one Of the
members who knows the game.

been very active of late and it is un-

ball till they cot out OF wind. The
high team which lined up without Capt
Bingham played hard and fast,
Bleser and A. Allen doing some
spectacular basket shooting. W.
Allen and Wells who alternated at
left guard proved to be fast men,
though they lack the height and
weight that some OF the other players
have. Mr.. Hill who refereed the
game seemed impartial in his work,

Who'll Whip You?

A lady of the capital city of A,
said this happened in her own
city. A lad came home with a
pocketful of marbles he had
won, and said, Mother, see
what | won"
With grieved voice she re-
piled. "Son, did | not tell you
you must not play marbles for
keeps? | shall have to punish
you for it; Pm sorry to have to
do it, but | cannot have you
doing anything of that kind.
So, come in here" /"
He went and got what was
coming to him. Then, when his
voice was again manageable, he
said, Now, mother, | want to
ask you who is going to whip
you for the prize you won at
the card party and brought
home?"
Be sure she'll get what is
coming to her, and it will be
more than she will enjoy prob
ably; maybe enough to break
her heart. The little gambler
is just following the example set
him by the big gambler. When
he gets to be big gambler the
mother will have many big
heartaches.
Mother, are you guiltless? If
you are a gambler, it is not
probable that your boy will ever
think gambling a very great
wrong, even if the civil law does
declare it crime. Exchange.

The News of Gold Hill.
Times Correspondence

Times Correspondence.
The sad news reached this
section last Friday of the death
and burial of Mrs. C. T. Crook al
Wagener, S. C. Mrs. Crook
had been a sufferer for some
time with pellagra and formerly
made her home in Gold Hill.
Miss Annie Faris who has
taught school in the lower part
of the State for the past four
years is visitor at the home of
her father, Mr.. S. G.. Faris, of
this community.
There is a general belief among
many of our farmers that if this
hot weather continues all of the
cotton will be opened and picked
by November l. Whether this
prediction comes true we do not
know, but one thing is certain:
the cotton picker will soon have
to lay aside his poke and hunt
himself another job.
The Flint Hill Sunday school
children, and others who are
interested, have decided to give
one day to the Baptist Orphanage
at Greenwood. Most of these
children have decided to employ
their time by picking cotton at
Carl Faris'. We trust all will
come early and with a determi-
nation to make this their big
gest days work of the year.
May we bear in mind that the
250 children at this home live
by what the good people
see fit to give them.

land planted in cane, which is
rapidly converted into the finest
-molasses product. The yield of
sweet potatoes for York county
is this year said to be record
breaking while peanuts and
similar crops have fourished
in every part of the county.
One of the most cheering fea-
lures of the new order Of things
is the increase in pigs and other
livestock on the farm. Pros
perity for York farmers is GER
tainly assured for the next few
years and for many more years
yet to come unless they should
again be convinced that cotton
is the only crop for Southern
farmer to raise.

Farmers are DiVerSifying.

Says York correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer: "A ride
over the roads leading out of
York and a visit to practically
any part of York county will
show that farmers have finally
learned that diversification is the
secret of success and this is being
universally practiced in this sec
ton now. The endless succession
of cotton fields, formerly a
familiar sight to the travellers
eye, has now been replaced by
numberous bodies Of fine upland
corn and acres and acres of
luxuriant peavines, besides num-
bers of acres of alfalfa. Possibly
the most noticeable increase
along this line is the amount of
