that capacity.
There are sundry citizens whose
homes (?)nre in this vicinity, but who
reside in De Smet. It is reported that
one of these individuals has been re
lieved of considerable quantities of llax
and osts by unknown parties. Moral
one should not live so far from home.
The only safe plan is to prepare for
the worst. We have l»een forcibly re
minded of the truth of the aln>ve the
present winter. Nearly every one in
our community has lost more or lees of
potatoes and roots. In many instance*
this might have lieen prevented, had a
little more paiiiH been taken In the fall
liefore It froze up. If we had dug our
wells deeper last summer we would have
tieen spared that disagreeable task this
cold weather.
There is preaching at the Byron
schoolhousp every two weriks, under the
auspices of the Wesleyan Methodist
organization, by Rev. Mr. Reeves. The
attendance at the Heasant llrairie

good this winter, owing to the severe (
weather; but the sessions seem to have
been enjoyed by those who were present.
We have high liojies for the future of
our portion of Kingsbury county, be
cause of the fact tliAt our farmers are
going into stock as rapidly as their
means will allow, and cows seem to be
the favorite stock. This is paving tlie
way for a creamery.
