The Jackson County
Court House Dedicated

evening occurred the QeulCatlOn ser
vices wherein the elegant building
built by the kadoka Commercial
Club, was turned over to the tax
payers OF the county, to be used
by them for court house purposes.
In the afternoon a reception was
held in the building and was
attended by large crowd of Jack
son county citizens, and the light
lunch which was served to the
visiting guests, was appreciated
by all. During the reception the
kadoka Band rendered many beau
tiful selections which added mater
tally to the merriment of the occas-
ion.
AT 1880 o'clock III the evening
the days program was commenced
and at this early hour the seating
capacity of the building was taxed
to the limit, many of the large
crowd assembled, having to remain
outside the building. The pro-
gram was opened with concert by
the kadoha Band, who were assist
ed in furniahing the music by L.
A. Pier of Belvidere. After the
pleasant half hour concert, Vice
President, |. II. Fryberger Of the
kadoka Commercial Club, called
the meeting to order. The Press
man at this point in our little
write up of the doings, upon behalf
of the Commercial Club, the peo-
pie present and the different part
les who were on the program,
extends to Mr.. Fryberger, their
sincere thanks for the pleasing way
and able manner in which he pre-
sided at the occasion.
The first speaker to be intro
duced by the chairman was Il. +.
Nellor of this place, who besides
welcoming the guests, recounteL
many of the main incidents of the
last campaign, which resulted in
the organization of Jackson county
and also securing the temporary
county seat for kadoka. 1t was
pleasing, and Mr.. Nellor was
roundly applauded at the compile
ton of his talk.
DIR. A. j. Hennings was the next
speaker. The Doctor had the
pleasure of delivering the parch-
ment bearing the names Of the
donors-the men and women-who
made it possible for the kadoka
Commercial Club to be in posi-
tion to give the court house build
ing to the tax payers. One clause
in the Doctors address, the one
wherein he said, Il purposely omit
the amounts set opposite their
names, because the one who gave
a farthing had his heart and soul
in the great work, as much as the
man who could give more liber-
ally, explains fully the real senti-
ment of the members of The Com
mercial Club toward the donors.
The parchment was in neat frame,
and will find resting place upon
the wall of the court house build
ing; there to be viewed by every
one; there to tell the story of the
public spirited citizen, and most Of
all, will be the happy memories,
lett in the mind of the donors and
by them handed down to future
generations.
Immediately following DR.. Hen
nings, came the dedication address.
Hon. A. G.. Granger was intro
duced by Chairman Fryberger and
the speech delivered by Mr.. Gran
ger will long linger in the minds
Of his hearers. His talk through
out was strong, lorceful, message
to the people, delivered in his own.
vigorous style and was very heart
lily received by the audience. He
paid we'll deserved compliment to
the county commissioners and all
other county officials.
