SOUTH SHORE COUPLE
CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY
Mr. and Mrs. John Sweeney, resi
dents of Codington and Grant coun
ties for the past 32 years, and now
living in South Shore, celebrated their
fiftieth anniversary of their marriage
on Thursday August ISth.
ie cMerly couple" wore marricl in f!'e
,•
The
T1
Roekt
They lived there for the next eight
years and then moved to a farm
four miles west of Troy where they
lived for 24 years. Since that time
they have made their home in South
Shove.
Both are in excellent health, being
hale and hearty and ar? looking- for
ward to the coming anniversaries.
Eight children have been born and
are living and they now have eight
teen grandchildren and two great
grandchildren. During the many
years they have made their home in
the western part of the county, they
have made many friends by their
kindly and helpful ways. They have
seen their children grow to maturity
and the grandchildren follow. They
have seen the country change from
a wild and untamed prairie to a
wealthy and prosperous farming com
munity, and they will live to see more
changes in the future.
The children who are living are liv
ing are. Mrs. Paul Emerson and Mrs.
Frank Maitins, of this city Mrs. P.
W. Poor, of Summit Paul who live*
on the home faim west of South
Shore Lloyd, of Summit Will, of
Watertown and Percy, who lives in
South Shore. One of the great-grand
children is the little daughter recent
ly born to Mr. and Mrs. Howard Em
erson, in Minneapolis.
The family planned for a reunion
to celebrate the event, but due to the
fact that Mrs. Frank Martins was
taken suddenly ill and had to undergo
an operation, the reunion was: post
poned until later in the fall.
The Herald-Advance joins with the
relatives and many friends in wish
ing the elderly couple added happi
ness as they live thru the alloted span
of years, just as it has wished happi
ness to many young couples who were
embarking: on their fifty-year voyage.

S.D. Bonus Bonds Being Sold
Ex-servicemen will be interested to
read this little extract from the Min
neapolis Tribune. Only about one
half of the ex-servicemen of the coun
ty have taken the necessary steps to
get their bonus. If you have not reg
istered in the bonus ofiice with L. N.
Saunders, write or telephone him, so
that he can set a time for you to
come in and fill out the application.
This office is the only one in the coun
ty and all who are in the county must
come here to make their application.
While it may be a distance for some
of the men it was thot best to ha^-e
all of the applications made out in the
one office, to avoid the mistakes that
the sub-office might make, and thus
the delay. The applications are filed
in the state ofiice in the order receiv
ed and will be paid accordingly.
If you have not made your appli
cation take this matter up at once, as
the office will be closed within a short
time and it will be necessary to make
application thru the state headquar
ters which will necessarily mean a
great delav in the approval and pay
ment of the bonus.
The Minneapolis office of the Guar
anty company, New York, and Wells
Dickey company were taking orders
yesterday for bonds of the $6,000,000

'f V/. M. Thomas handed us a copy of
the Coos County Democrat, which is
published in his old home-town, Lan
caster, N. H. The copy contains a
cbmp'ete account of the visit of Pres
ident Harding, who spent his vacation
near there. It also contains the ad
dress which the President gave on
"Harding Day". The following is
taken from the paper in regard to the
vacation: "President Harding had a
fine vacation in Lancaster. He said
so and he ought to know. Think of a
quiet little-rest trailed by a score of
newspaper reporters, snapped by a
dozen cameras whenever occasion of
fered, photographed by 13 movie men
and besieged by crowds on every hand.
-That was President Harding's "Vaca
tion."
Rev. Gaines and family who left
two weeks ago for a visit'at his old
home in Minnesota, returned Satur
day. The family had a very pleasant
trip and visit, but as they had not been
there for a numher of years, many of
the old friends had passed away and
the younger generation had now taken
their place.

Upon the shoulders of Mr. Running
that city, who upheld if rot surpassed
the standard of Brother Opsal's fine
little paper. He has the following to
say in his last issue:
"Upon returning we found the fol

Mr. uonning: 'We lay down our job
gladly and turn it over to Mr. Opsal.
We thank the people for the courtes
ies which they have shown us. The
experience in a newspaper office has
been a novelty and we find that it is
not as much of a snap as one would
think from watching an editor of a
country newspaper. He has a mul
tiplicity of duties to perform. He is
expected to take a prominent part in
the life of the city to note the arrival
and departure, of everyone in the
town to use tact in the use of cer
tain news items to note the births,
marriages, and deaths and social
ever/ s that occur. He is also sup
posed to publish information that is
of general interest to the public. It is
hjs duty to lead the public opinion of
a community. So taken as a whole,
the *)vcrosition of a countrv news-
troubles which the ordinary citizen
does not hear about and which he us
ually keeps to himself while willing
to help others out of their troubles if
he can. His paper serves as a medi

"BETTER AND BIGGER"
CO. FAIR OPENS SEPT. 6
Less than two weeks remain be
fore the big 1-day Grant County Fair
at Milbapk, which will open Sept. 6
and close the 9th.
Moie interest being expressed in
the iair and more lime and money arp
being expended to make it a success
thari ever before. The fair commit
tee have-been working together fo*
some time getting the premium list
m^id? up, free attractions hired ,the
c(Missions located and the numerous
details arranged, all of which
^Iv.X^'ke the fair "bigger and bat
ti,i*" than ever before."
The\ Federated Flying Circus, of
Minneapolis, consisting of plants
and (Vmen have been contracted to
appear on Wednesday the second day
of the lair. The fiying stunts include
all of the known tricks of the aero
service, which will be combined with
acrobatic stunts, walking the planes
while in flight, parachute drop and
other death-defying thrillers. The
company exhibited in Ortonville last
Sunday and Milbank people who saw
the exhibition say that it out-classes^
anything they have ever seen. The
program provides for at least an hour
and a half's entertainment and it will
probably be two hours before the
stunts are completed. All of this will
be free in addition to the entertain
ments already provided by the fair
association.
The list of attractions is larger
than ever before and we believe will
be better than the majority of fairs
around this part of the country. The
flying circus alone will cost a consid
erable amount of money, but it is an
attraction that will be worth coming
miles to see and will be a great draw
ing caid for the fair.
The drawing for prizes each hour
will be a new feature of the fair.
Each admission ticket will have a
stub, which will be numbered. The
tickets will be placed in a box as they
are taken at the gate the person buy
ing the ticket carrys the stub. The
fii-st drawing will be at 2 o'clock, fol
lowed by one at 3, 4, and 5 o'clock in
the afternoon and.8 amj in the even
ing. The'first number drawn will re
ceive s5, the second will receive $3,
the third $2. The same person cannot
win more than once on one day bus
can win once on each of the four days.
If you are planning to bring in
stock or grain to exhibit and have not
received a premium book, telephone
Fred Rockwell, secretary, or if in the
cKy, step into the Farmers & Mer
chants Bank, where you will be able
to secure one. The success of the
fair depends upon the 'amount of en
ergy and boosting the average citi
zen of Grant county pu„s into the pro
position. A little help, from all will
be worth far more than a great a
mount from a few &nd will accomplish
a great deal more.
