Proclaimed abroad by "crying."
Buch slow, queer ways and fogy days!

Most lands and kindreds o'er
Thrones have crumbled, czars are humbled,
Might makes right" no more.
The printer's stick full many a Itek
For truth and right has given
Its ponderous blows 'gainst freedom's foes
Have empires riven.
O wond'rous gift, the weak to lift,
Tho mighty to bring low
No magic hand of fairy-land
Could such rich gifts bestow.
One stroke of thine, almost divine.
And tyrants quake with fear
Tfot dynamite could so excite
As freedom to speak and hear.
Our Herald's how and modest bow
Here greets Its every friend
Wivreeome to stoy, and hope and pray
helping hand youll lend.
Our task begun with hate for none,
Sweet charity for all.
Twill be our aim to speak out plain
But no hard names to call.
The news to tell and do It well
Will le our main endeavor
To boom our town, our county crown
Kltt glory, honor, ever.

every precaution against imaginary

in a row along the wall where they
were covered with a piece of canvas,

V0LT7ME 1. HURLEY, DAKOTA, THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1883. NUMBER 1.
HoVt J. "»V. Turner,
From the Press avid Dakotaian of
April 28th we copy the following brief
biography of tho late Father Turner,''
as he was called by his many friends
and admirers:
Mr. .1. W.Turner was lorn in western
Oneida county, N. Y., on the 23d day of
February, 1800. His fathers family, in
1812, moved to German Flats, llerrMker
county, N. Y., remaining there until he
•was eighteen years old. From the age
of twelve to seventeen he wM In the
employ of Aaron Ilackley, ut that time
prominent merchant of Herkimer.
Vor two years after he was in the em
ploy of an elder brother, Joseph Turner,
wlw succeeded Mr. Ilackley. In 1818,
he iwvmvl With his father's family to
Scriba, Oswego county, N. Y., and en
gaged with his father and brother Jo
seph ill the erection of mills. From
this time to 1816, he continued in Oswe
go vunty, much of the time in public
business, a ]xrtion of the time was
deputy collectw »f the port of Oswego
under, the late lion.tjeorgeII.McWhor
ter, who was collector during the ad
ministrations of Jackson, Van Buton,
Tyler and Polk. During this time he
became «u*nminted with many of the
leading men of th«t period but few of
whom are now left, and whose memo
ries liv has ever cheri.shed with unbated
interest and regard. In 18!t he moved
with his family to De Witte, Clinton
county, Michigan, and engaged in the
milling i»id mercantile business. In
1.S51 he was elected representative from
•Sjlginaw county in the general assem
lily of Michitf.'ui. He aflerw«r*l was
sheriff of .Saginaw couuty, with resi
dence at&tgiiKtw City.
In the year t*S he became a resident
of Vermillion, Clay county and a citi
zen of Dakota and at oncetooka jiromi
Mcnt part in all matters relating to the
development of the country and the
welfare of the people. Though a life
long democrat of the old school he was
chosen a member of the territorial
council from Clay in lWij and during
the session of the legislature proved to
be one of its ablest members, perform
ing the principal labors of the judiciary
committee and taking an active inter
est in educational legislation. As a de
bater he was the peer of any member
of the legislature chosen to that or any
subsequent assembly, possessing a fund
of valuable information on a wide
range of subjects, lie was returned by
his constituents to succeeding legisla
tures, for eleven years, and during his
long legislative career was the recog
nized leader of his party and always
carried a potent influence with the op
position. Advancing years, while they
gradually diminished the vigor of his
body, seemed to increase the clearness
and power of his mind. After a vaca
tion of one session he was chosen a
member of the legislative house from
Turner county in 187(i. An effort to
make him speaker of that body by
unanimous consent came near Vicing
.successful and w:ts only defeated
through (liillcultiofi growing out of a
number of contests among republican
members which rendered it necessary
to effect a party organization. In con
nection with legislative duties, Mr.
Turner served the people from 18(itt to
1873 as superintendent of public in
struction discharging the functions of
that office with decided ability and lay
ing the l'ouddation for our present ex
cellent common school system.
Mr. Turner was always a busy man.
He was constantly engaged in active
labor and the promotion of important
enterprises. As early as 18113, in com
pany with James McIIenry, he ascend
the Vermillion valley some thirty miles
where he erccthd the first Hour mill in
Dakota at a jMiint since known its
Bloomingdale. Two years later he su
perintended the erecting of tho pioneer
flouring mills at Lodi, built by Fisher
& Rtidd and in the spring of 1871 he
made another and lin advance twenty
miles further north where he founded
the village of Turner in the county
which had boen named in his honor,
and here he performed his closing la
bors as a pioneer mill builder, and
passed the remainder of bis eventful
and active life.
Mr. Turner was a man of positive and
uncompromising political convictions.
He grew up with many of the promi
nent men of the first half of the present
century, shared their companionship
and participated with them in many an
exciting campaign. lie was a gentle
man of the "old school," given to sin
cere hospitality, always affable and
courteous, and generous to a fault.
Few men in Dakota have performed so
large a share of the work of develop
mentor rendered more valuable aid in
proving its agricultural worth. In all
stations, whether as a servant of the
people, or following his chosen pur
suits, he never failed to perforin well
his part, and in the fullness of years
was gathered to his fathers, leaving the
world better for his having lived, and
bequeathing to his kindred and friends
the legacy of an honorable and useful
career.
Peter Nessen came to America five
years ago from Denmark, and was last
heard from in Richburg, Wisconsin,
from which point he wrote his parents.

if he is living or not, will confer a fa

FuMt I'ulture In Turner County, Dakota.
Will womVers never cease in Dakota
Perhaps not Everyliody, almost has
heard of out wonderful gold hills, of
our magnificent wheat fields and ot ttur
inexhaustable acres of rich, nutritious
grasses. The nextgrcat wonder will be
fruit culture, which is rapidly coming
to the front and is destined at no dis
tant day to rank side by side with
either of the above marvelous things.
K«t everybody can poaam a DeSmet
gold mine, or own a Dalrymple farm,
or even purchase cattle enough to con
sume the grass grown on a quarter sec
tion of land. But strange and wonder
ful as it may seem to many, every one
owning a small chunk of Dakota dirt"
has a bonanza at his very door, if he
only knew it, and was not too Indolent
to set about finding It, This rich
find is to be found by raising fruit.
We often hear people who don't know
any bettor, exclaim, "G, you cau^t raise
fruit in Dakota. It's no use trying."
This is all a mistake. All the simdl
kinds eon be, and now are rotad here
to perfection, and many of the large
and standard varieties can be raised by
a little more care and some protecton.
This is not mere idle talk or guess work.
The writer has raised on his "Fountain
Farm," three miles west of Swan Lake,
all the following varieties, viz: peaches,
apples, plums, cherries, mulberries,,
blackberrirt*, gooseberries, strawberries,
raspberries, buifaloberries, elderberries,
currants and grapes. Of this baker's
dozen, nine varieties are natives of Da
kota, and all but one are worthy of the
careful attention of every lover of
choice fruit. The plum, cherry, rasp
berry and gooseberry deserve extra
care ami attention. The writer has an
a
ere and h«lf of the plum and cherry.
THE PM'M.
Of the plum there are many varieties.
While some are almost worthless, many
«f them, for si«(\ richness of color and
and delicacy of taste rival their more
fortunate ancestors that have received
careful cultivation for a century or
more. To tuuke sure of getting the
bivt kinds they should be sought out
when the plums are ripe, the trees
marked and then transplanted the next
spring. These trees are found every
where in the gulches and idong the
streams and miy be had without »u,
much as, "by your leave"
or a "thank'e,"
And yet many, especially the new
comers, prefer the dear bought and
far-fetched," which are always to be
had of the oily-tongued, ubiquitous
tree-pedler. This tree is very hardy, a
great bearer and the fruit is hover
troubled by the eurculio.
TllK C1IKKKY,
We have two kinds of cherrley. One
is the choke-cherry, found everywhere
from Maine to California. Of this it is
only necessary to say, they are greatly
improved by cultivation. They grow
larger, are more juicy and lose much of
their "choke."
The other sort is a real iron-clad Da
kotaian. It is sometimes known as the
willow cherry and is also called the
sand cherry. The pits were fi rut
brought to Turner county, it is said,
nine years jigo by T. B. Buchanan, K»q.,
from northern Dakota,. It is not a tree
but a bush very similar to the currant.
It begins to bear the second year from
planting. The cherries are black and
some larger tban the Early Richmond.
Eaten from the bush our first cherries
were not as palatable as might be, but
on being cooked they made a superior
sauce and a most toothsome pie. The
second picking, raised from pits of our
own raising, were much better. By
following up this process from year to
year they have been greatly improved.
Some writers have spoken of these
cherries as a fraud and a humbug. Such
they may seein to be in a wild state.
Had they practiced the Darwinian sys
tem, by a judicious selection and tho
survival of the Attest for a few
years, they would probably be as en
thusiastic in their praise as they now
are vehement in their denunciation,
A poor, sandy soil suits them best.
They are wonderful bearers, the bushes
being often loaded to the ground. They
are never troubled by insects, even the
omniverous grasshopper when here
last, in 1875, passing them untouched,
though they devoured every other liv
ing thing in the garden. There is
unother thing about them worthy of
notice. Though jet black at first, they
are of various shades of color now
some are almost white, and the lighter
they are the better they get.
TIIK
UASPDBltnY.
The raspberry is of the common
blackcap variety. It is hardy and pro
lific, and has no enemies except the
proverbial early bird," which will ap
propriate the lion's share of this charm
ing fruit unless the vigilant gardener
forestalls hiin by preoccupying the
ground.
TllK OOOSEIlKliKY.
The gooseberry comes next in order.
This hardy, generous shrub richly and
liberally repays all the labor bestowed
upon it. Of these there area number
of distinct t:nd separate families as is
apparent from the foliage and the ber
ry. Some of the bushes are four and
six feet high, straight us an arrow and
nearly thorniess. Neither blight nor
mildew troubles them. They abound
in the gulches and may be obtained on
tho same liberal terms as the plum
spoken of above. The raspberry dittb.
There is nothing peculiar or mysteri
ous in the culture of either of these
plants. Any one who can handle a hoe
and spade, and has sense enough to
