Under the caption "awarded to set tlers,says the Sioux Falls Press, a i contemporary administers a few words {of wholesome advice to people who want to get on too fast. It points out (tin certain reward to pluck and pa-. tiencc and perseverance, and admon ishes the fanner that he must be con jlt'iit to labor and wait in order to reach the rewards which Dakota has in store for every class of industry. The subject is one which calls for some attention. Xo man comes to I Dakota who relies upon his industry jfor success, and puts the industry in i motion, who does not thrive and suc ceed. liutsueces is so easily attained that some people are misled into the belief that it is to lie attained without an effort, or without being deserved. People who come here from the east to share in our prosperity will do well to remember that greenbacks do not grow on cornstalks, any more than tig-s do on thistles, and that the man who starts in to cultivate the soil of Dako ta with a shot gun is not only liable, but, tolerably certain to get left. Thrift, industry, sobriety, and hones ty are all the capital the Dakota set tier wants, and if he has these he will lind his reward in his crops. If he have them not, a war footing of Rem ingt«ai riiWs or a pedigree to reach from here t» Deaduood will not place hint any nearer linancial .starvation '...n a "i'V of liolj Ingersoii's i-elig- True Poetry.
