Tits LEADER is under many obligations to Superintendent Isliam for favors and courtesies extended during the session of the teachers institute which closed here last Friday. With the enormous amount of work this office has been obliged to dispose of during the past three or four weeks, THE LEADER'S account of the in stitute would have been even thinner than it was, had it not been for the assistance of Prof. Isham. The Sioux City Journal of recent date brings the news of the marriage of How ard C. Tripp, the bright young editor of the Ivingslev (Iowa) Times, to Miss Car rie Steele.

Hon. S. E. Young, of Sioux Falls, was in town Tuesday administering a dose of consolation soothing syrup to Congress man Gilford. Mr. Young is in a good position to do this for his cause has fal len a victim to the handiwork of the same tribe who knocked Mr. Gifford's hopes into a cocked hat* at the Mitchell convention. What looks mysterious about Mr. Young, is that he is now try ing to get his big feet over the hind end' gate on the independent band wagon. The board of county commissioners met at the court house last Monday noon for the purpose of levying the taxes for county purposes, but soon after they convened, found that the necessary documents from the auditor of state were deficient in some respects and had to be returned to be rectified. Accordingly the board adjourned till Thursday. They met again at the appointed hour yesterday afternoon but at the time THE LEADER went to press nothing could be learned as to their work. D. P. Hurlburt's school of educated animals will visit Canton Saturday, Sept. 0. and give two exhibitions, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. The writer has seen this entertainment, before and is prepared to state that it is everything that its propreietoc claims it is. Prof. Hurlburt, if he still follows the business methods he did five or six years ago, does not advertise what lie does not intend to place before his audi ence. TnE LEADEU believes that those of its readers who attend Prof. Hurlburt's entertainment will get their money's worth. A temperance meeting'took place at the Presbyterian church last Sunday eveniug, under the auspices of the Wornens Chrs tain Temperence Union. The meeting was addressed by Rev. A. Jamieson, of the Methodist church of this city and con sidering the fact that there were other religious exercises at the- same hour in other churches, the attendance was very good. Rev. Jamieson talked for a period of about an hour, delivering one of his usually interesting and strong sermons. His theme was the Feast of Belshazzar, and enunciated among other things, the ruin that strong drink brought upon this' great ruler and his people. THE LEADEU is sending out several hundred sample copies, now, to parties who have not ordered the paper. This is done for the purpose of having these peo ple become acquainted with the paper and in due time they will be discontinued without notice, unless the office receives orders to the contrary. Parties who have not subscribed need not hesitate taking copies of the paper from the postoffice for fear that a bill will be presented. Such are the business tactics of the papers which have no other means of securing a subscription list, but it will not be adopt ed at this office. TIIE LEADEU will not force itself on anyone. Several of the grain buyers of this place became offended at THE LEADER'S arti cle devoted to them last week. TnE LEADEK desires to repeat in this connec tion, what it said in the article published last week, that it lias no desire to attack the integrity, and fair-mindedness of the local grain dealers or anyone else, and if it has made statements that arc* wrong or unjust in the slightest degree, it is per fectly willing that the offended persons shall have a fair hearing, and they are hereby invited to defend their, case through its columns. Certainly nothing could be more just than this and if the Canton grain dealers actually feel that they have been wronged in what was said of them last week, they will embrace this opportunity to defend themselves. DAYTON DEWDK0P8. Independence now and independence forever. The late rains have been very helpful. Early corn is ripening fast. Late corn is a failure in this part of South Dakota. Oats will probably average not far from 35 bushels to the acre. Dry weather the past summer has been hard on late flax. We will wait and see if it amounts to anything. The price of wiieat is now about half what it ought to be in order to bring a good profit to the farmers. A farmer ought nwer to get less than thirty cents a bushel for oats. If he does get less he don't get paid for his toil. Potatoes are scarce. Do you know of myone has potatoes to sell? [Yes, A. L. Sy verud, Canton has some good ones.— .Ed] A large number of hay stacks have gone up the past week. Grass will be dead before the frost finds it this year. Considerable threshing has already been done this fall. The reason for this is plain. The farmers want that work off their hands 'so as to be ready for threshing ill the political field later in the season. AU&UBTAHA COLLEGE. COI.T.EOIATE and NORMAL COURSE.
