ALFRED T. HORTON

1t is with regret we mark the pass
ing of Alfred T. Horton of Volsa,
editor and publisher of the Volga
Tribune, whose active career "A
abruptly terminated last Thursday
morning from heart failure, the second
member of the journalistic fraternity
Of Brookings county to be called to
the Great Beyond within the last few
months. Mr.. Horton had been in poor
health for several months resulting
from a YER attack Of influenza, and
or the three days prior to his death
he worked overtime in an endeavor
to catch up with the extra work that
had accumulated in the office. 1t vas
not until midnight Wednesday that
the paper was off the press and the
chief of the weeks worries over. The
away before dawn.
Alfred T. Horton was born in New
Haven, Conn, in 1873, being nearly AZ
years old at the time of his death.
He was an only son. He came TO
Milbank when a youth and was en-
ployed on the Grant County Tribune.
He remained with this paper for a
long term of years until he had mas
tered the art of conducting a news
paper. In 1906 he came to VOlga and
purchased the Volga Tribune which
he has conducted since in a ann
that has given him and the community
great credit. He early identified him
self as public spirited and a worker
for the public good. For ten years he
was a member of the board of educa
ton. He gave similar service as q
member Of the board of directors of
the Volga hospital. His service to his
church was in equal measure and at
the time Of his death he was a mem
Der of the board of trustees of the
church. He served his community
well and was rewarded by the love
of all. His home life found him to
be the highest type Of husband and
father. He leaves to mourn his loss,
his wife and two children, Amy ana
Ralph, who have the deepest and ten
derest sympathy of the entire com
munity in their great sorrow. His son
Ralph, who has been his associate as
editor of the Tribune will assume the
management of the paper. The daugh-
ter, Amy. is a student at the Northern
Normal and Industrial School at Abcr-
deem.
The funeral services were held at
Volga last Friday afternoon at the
congregational church and were at
tended by nearly every citizen of Vol
ga and many others from Brookings
and neighboring towns and the coun-
try. Every pupil of the public schools
was present to pay their last respects.
The body was shipped to Milbank, the
former home, for interment.

WILLIAM S.

Our we'll known fellow townsman,
William S. Pickett, an early pioneer
of Brookings county and for the last
ten years proprietor of the Cottage
store, died at his home last Friday
evening, January II, after a lingering
illness Of nearly four years.
William S. Pickett was born at
Markesan, Wis, February Is, 1854
At the age of seven he moved with
his parents to Dodge county, Mime
sofa. When twenty years of age he
moved TO Dakota territory with his
mother and took up a homestead four
miles east Of the city Of Brookings,
where they shared the labors and
trials of the early pioneers. On Octo-
Der 81. 1889, he was united in mar
riage to Miss Esther "A. Frazee and
to this union two children were born,
both sons, w. j. and II. II. Pickett.
They lived on the homestead until
the fall of 1903 when the family moved
to Bookings. In the autumn of 1910
Mr.. Pickett entered the mercantile bus
mess in which he was engaged at the
time of his death.
The funeral services were held at
the Baptist church Sunday afternoon
at $3.50 o'clock and interment was
made in Greenwood cemetery. He
leaves to mourn his death, his wife,
Mrs. William Pickett, two sons, w. J.
Pickett of this city, and II. II. Pickett
OF Pierre, two grandchildren, n
brother, l.. B. Pickett of Spring Val
ley, Mimi, and two sisters, Mrs. G.

Scores of citizens have visited the
art rooms at State college with a great
deal of interest the last week viewing
the exhibition of forty original oil
paintings, representing some of the
finest work of American artists. The
paintings are largely landscape and
sea scapes which surpass in beauty
anything ever before shown in Brook
ings. The pictures will be on exhibi-
ton until Wednesday of next week.

The people of Brookings will read
lily recall the numerous plays and
~pageants produced during the war
under the leadership of Miss Nellie
Kendall. The prime object of these
productions was the raising of money
TO purchase a war ambulance for use
on the battle fronts in France. On the
signing of the armistice, this fund
amounted to $S3S.37 and was left in
the bank to Miss Kendalls credit
pending her selection of some worthy
cause When the call came to Brook
ings county for $4,000, 1920 of which
was Brookings city's allotment, Miss
Kendall felt that the money she had
raised through the patronage Of the
Brookings people could be put to no
better use than supplying the neces-
sary room furnishings and comforts
of the vocational boys who are in u
midst. Miss Kendall's decision in this
matter relieved this community of one
house to house canvass for funds.
Let us all say it together. Thank
you"

Large beets furnish excellent greens
for chickens. They seem to like the
red 1eshed ones best.
Never allow a house plant to stand
very long in a jardinier or saucer of
feet any more than you can.
Cooperative marketing pays in more
ways han one. 1t is cheaper and
more effective in advertising products
and saves the individual growers time.
Even California citrus fruit growers
are good boosters for windbreaks.
They want good ones about their or.

also pay in South Dakota.

APPLE PIE DAY

Notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather conditions last week, the Ap-
pie Pie celebration at Rifle was a pro-
nounced success, and was well attend
ed from first to last.
The usual wild west program had
been arranged for the entertainment of
those looking for thrills, while the e1.
hibits of dry land products was splen.
did and emphasized the possibilities of
Garfield county lands along the line of
production, independent Of irrigation
bitches, which were once thought to
be absolutely essential to crop produc-
ton in this country.
Considering the bad condition of the
roads quite number of our people
from Glenwood attended the event, and
the writer greatly regrets that the con.
dition of his health made it physically
impossible for him to attend and en-.
joy the doin g and greet and visit with
the old friends Of the Rifle section
once more.
