E. H.. Eby, state highway engineer
with headquarters in Brookings, has
received a signal promotion to the
position of chief engineer Of state
highway department and will leave
about August 1, for Pierre to take
charge of his new duties. Mr.. Eby
is an exceptionally capable engineer
and his promotion is we'll deserved.
1t is unfortunate for Brookings county
that his services could not be re-
tanned until the completion of the
state highway which is now under
construction between Volga and
Aurora. We believe that Mr.. Eby
will see to it that the job is completed
in a first class manner and will have
a competent engineer here to take his
place.

The Lake Preston Times said last
week that Mr.. and Mrs. John Lawson
moved to Brookings- on Monday,
where they will occupy the residence
they purchased in that city a number
of years ago when they decided to
leave the old home farm. However,
they returned to the farm after a few
months, but retained the property.
Since leasing the farm to their son,
Clarence w., they have spent about a
year visiting relatives and in making
a trip to California. Now, they have
decided to settle down in their own
home and take life as easy as they
can. The Times will visit them week
ly and all the old home friends hope
they may enjoy good health and the
new surroundings in every sense OF
the word.
