MRS. THOS. HART
DIED AT PEEvER
Settled in Roberts County in
Year of 1871.

Mrs. Thomas Hart, who died
July 20. 1916, was born in Flan-
dreat, SD, July 1855 and in
about 1871 moved here, with her
parents, to what is now known
as the Sisseton Indian reserva-
tion. This country was not yet
seetled by white people, Norris,
Minn., being the nearest railroad
town. There was a trading
post between Lake Traverse
and Big Stone lake. where the
town of Browns Valley is now
situated. In 1876 she was mar
ried to Thomas Hart. About
this time Mr.. Hart and several
other wrote and asked for an
Episcopal minister from Pine
Ridge Reservation. Then Rev.
Asley was sent here, he being
the first missionary among them.
The following year q church was
built where the Sisseton Agency
is now situated. From that
time Mr.. and Mrs. Hart were
helpers with the missionary
work among the Indians, assist
ed by Rev. Ashley. Years later
other churches were built ct diff
ferent points of the Sisseton
Indian Reservation. At these
points Mr.. and Mrs. Hart were
sent toteach the Indian alphabet
which is used in all Indian
churches. Mrs. Hart was we'll
advanced in that line Of study
and. knew more about reading
and writing than her husband,
Mr.. Hart. For many years they
followed this work.
After years of missionary work
they retired on account of the
poor health of Mr.. Hart. This
showed that Mrs. Hart believed
in her work and lead q good
Christian life through her hard
ships. She was we'll known
throughout the reservation and
greived by many a person over
her death.
She leaves her father, Seth
Ezekiel, at the age of about 90
years; her husband, Thos. Hart;
son Lucas and wife, and daugh-
ter Nellie Bellonger and husband
and children, to mourn her
death. -Peever Pilot.

This territory is harvesting the
lightest crop of many years this
year, according to the reports that
are coming in daily from the sur
rounding country. Wheat has suf-
fered from black rust and blight
and has too rapidly ripened. Many
farmers maintain that an examina-
tion of their fields have shown that
the heads have but few good kerr
nels, what there is is of inferior
quality, and only for the high mar
ket, much would not be cut. Oats
that had given evidence of being
a fair crop has crinkled down un-
der the hot weather, and big losses
have been sustained. The corn
crop, which was given up for lost
early in the season on account of
late spring, has made wonderful
strides since July 1st and is now
much ahead of the crop at this
time last year with possibility
that may yet bring fair return.

LAYING OF CORNERSTONE

The corner stone for the New
Evangelical Lutheran linmanue
Church will be laid Sunday, Aug
13, at 10 O'Clock a. III. The cere-
mony will be performed by the
resident pastor, Rev. G.. HI. Steffell
assisted by the building committee
The dedicatory service is to be con.
Quoted in the German Language
and an English address will be de-
livered.
The church is being erected on
the church premises five miles
north east of Sisseton. The small
chapel which heretofore served as
the place OF worship will be equip.
ped with modern arrangements for
parochial school purposes. About
thirty children of the parish have
been enrolled in the past year.
1t was at the annual meeting
that this faithful little band of
German Lutherns under the charge
of Rev. Steffen voted to build a
church adapted to their needs. The
services of Architect VIM Schutze
of Aberdeen were engaged and the
contract was let to the we'll reputed
firm Carlson & Hasslen of Orton-
vile, to construct a frame church
30x6Oxl6 feet with balcony
ladies' rest room, a full nine foot
concrete basement. A large bell,
hot air furnace, and art glass win
dows will materially add to the
beauty aud comfort of the edifice.
Emmanuel congregation can
thankfully look backward to years
of spiritual and earthly prosperity
ard blessings. All the members
came to Roberts county in the
homesteading days and braved the
storms Of pioneeriife. Rev. Eifert
and Rev. Huesner miuiatered to
this congregation for many years,
equally sharing with them fortunes
evil and good.
The congregation was organized
in 1899 and now numbers two
hundred souls. It is commendable
indeed that thirteen families con-
template the building of this mag.
nificent house of worship, which
will entact theexpenditure of $1,000.
Quite naturally the hearts of all
are eagerly awaiting the day when
the peals of the new church bell
will call them together to worship
God according to the dictates OF
their conscience Contributed.

THREE ROUTES FROM ROSnOLT

The territory adjacent to Ros-
holt is now being served with
three rural routes, the service be.
ginninglast Tuesday. On route
one, which covers the north and
east territory, Mr.. Leo Stovern
will have charge, with E. Simon
son on route two, taking in the
Diamond territory and Hubert
Leavit ON route three, taking in
the southwest territory. The
three appointments are of tenn
porary nature, subject to the
August examinations for rural
carriers, when the regular APP
pointments by the government
will be made according to their
standing. All three carriers will
use autos and can make the trip
easily after getting their routes
and work down pat.
1t has been over two years
since the first petition for rural
service out of Rosholt was made,
and many had given mp hopes of
being served from this point.
The government was a little
slow In acting but after thorough
~ sizing up the situstion, found
this was the feasible points for
mail distribution, being more
centrally located, and at quite q
saving to the government. by
doing away with the Star route
between Wheaton and Diamond.
There is at present quite q
rush on for mail boxes but all
will be supplied and it will not
be long until the people have a
first class service. Rosholt has
% slight advantage over the other
towns on this line in the way Of
train service, as this being the
first town out from Fairmount
the train is usually on time.
It was with considerable satis-
faction that the people watched
their three ruralcarriers depart
Tuesday morning for the first
time, loaded with mail, which
event marked an important step
in the progress and development
of the town and country.

MRS. O'GRADY
PASSED AWAY
Died at Her Home i'm Grant
Township Thursday.

J The many friends of Mrs.
O'Grady We're indeed shocked
to learn that the reaper of death,
which at last gathers us all, had
called at her home and taken
her away on August 3, 1916.
Charlotte Sutter O'Grady was
born in Ueber Muchel Germany
in 1919. She came to America
with her parents in 1850 nd
settled in New York until 1856
when the family moved to Chica-
go.
In 1870 she was united in mar
riege oJ. f. O'Grady. They
came to South Dakota in 1895
and settled ON u homestead in
Grant township where they have
since resided.
She leaves to mourn her de-
parture a loving husband and
five children, Mrs. Grace Effting
of Chicago, Mrs. Lillian Otto of
Sisseton, Charles of Minot, and
Albert and Robert of this coun.
ty, also ten grandchildren and a
host of friends.
Her friends are numbered
only by her acquaintances-to
know her was to love her. Her
quiet unassuming kindness was
felt by all with whom she came
in contact.
Having spent all her former
life in Chicago. she took up the
life of . farmers wife courage.
ously and inspired sall whom
she met with cheerfdlness, en-.
ergy and hopefulness.
Hers was inoeed a hospitable
home, as she bent all her ener-
|gies ministering to the wants of
a guest. She made the golden
rule her rule of conduct, ad-
mired and emulated everything
good and despised everything
small and mean.
She was untiring in looking
after the members of her house
hold, and never spared herself
in her loving care.
With her passed a noble char.
acter and of her it can indeed be
said, "Well done thou good and
faithful servant. -
Mrs. O'Grady was member
of the W. II. G. of Sisseton, and
the funeral was held under the
instructions of the members.
Their work at the grave was
very impressive. The services
were held Saturday afternoon at
the M. E. church, Rev. Ebert be-
ing the officiating minister and
interment was made in the Sis
seton cemetery.

FEDERAL AID FOR
SOUTH DAKOTA

s2,532,O0O for Good Roads in
this State Can be Had.
Under the Shacklefoad- Bank
head post roads law South OAK
ota is apportioned for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1917, about
$s3,75O. This sum doubles for
the year ending June 30, 1918,
trebles for the next yeer and so
on until at the end of the fifth
year the government offers
South Dokota five times the ori-
ginal amount. In all the law
makes it possible for South
Dakota to claim approximately
81. .266, $50 of federal money for
road improvement. To CLAIM
all this federal help however, the
state must do approximately
$2,532,5 worth of road work in
the five-year period. Federal
funds can be used only to pay
half the bill.
That South Dakoa should take
advantage of this opportunity is
the conviction, we believe, of
every thoughtful man in the
state. None needs argument
any more to convince him of
road improvement. The only
question now is how best to go
about 1t.
Under the constitution of the
state as 1t stands now South
Dakota cannot as . state 60 into
this partnership with the govern.
ment in improving it's own roads.
It is necessary first to amend
the constitution so that funds
can be appropriated for enter
prises of internal improvement.
A proposed amendment having
this object in view was prepared
at the special session Of the leg
islature and it will come before
the voters in November. Itshould
be adopted, however to get the
money for this year, as there
will be no Legislative appropria-
tion, it will be necessary for any
county or group of counties to
appropriate that sum of money,
and those counties will then
get this appropriation and have
the use of it. Certain procedure
is prescribed as to how the coun-
ties should appropriate the mon
ey and show evidence of the
using it, etc.
The South Dakota apportion-
ment is based on population,
area and the mileage in actual
and potential mail routes. So
literally is it possible to con-
strue the post-road feature of
the law that any generally trav-
eled highway can be a benetic-
iarg of the laws's provisions.
All South Dakota must do, as
suming that the amendment
will pass this fall, is to arrange
to match dollar for dollar the
amount asked of the govern
ment and then proceed with the
work under the direction of it's
own highway officials. If the
amendment does not pass, in
dividual counties, by a special
provisition of the law, may draw
upon a share of the allotment to
this state.
South Dakota ought to claim
the full amount apportioned to
the state by this important law.
