Monday, the 15th inst, was a red
letter day at the County Building.
The Clerk of the Court and Register of
Deeds were up to their ears in business
and a party of grangers were proving
up. Papers rustled and crushed, and

weeks ago to lie washed, by the editor-
full of sounds which min­
gled, and out of the noise and turmoil
one could occasionally distinguish such
words as south-east quarter," new
town at Ash Point," Two hundred
dollars," contested homestead,"
"shack and Ave acres of breaking,"
and others of like import No one
dreamed of the coming event But
suddenly a bush came over the party.
The Clerk of the Court craned his neck
and looking out of the window whis
lered, half unconsciously, Who's
that?" All eyes turned to the distant
prairie and beheld a two-seated carriage
containing a large party, drawn
by
a
spanking team of hays, coining from
the south-east. Ladies," said o
granger "Guess I'll lie going," sai»
another, evidently embarrassed. 1'inl
afraid those mules will get away," said
the third, disppcuring out of the door.
They seemed to all instinctively know
where the approaching carriage would
stop. And they were right. The car
riage stopped, and the occupants wend
ed their way towards the county otlice
where they arrived in season to corner
one or two of the boys from 114-78.
who vainly sought to escape. The
Clerk of the Court and Register braced
themselves and l»ent low over official
documents resolved to stay or perish.
Two gentlemen and four ladies filed
into the room in solemn dignity. The
stillness was appalling. Then one of
the gentlemen, acting as s{xkesinan.
introduced the ladies to the Clerk of
nobly, for, though he flu shed deeply
and his eyelids droo|ed, n a quaver
was in his voice, for the Register watch
ed him anxiously. The short silence
which followed was broken by the
frantic and successful efforts of the hist
114-7S boy to escape by the front door.
Then the business of proving up of the
young ladies smoothly progressed,
while whis|crcd bits of conversation
floated around. The Kogistcr deeply
engrossed in recording a mortgage
on a farm, heard one of the gen
tleman visitors solemnly declare to
his neighlor, that the county officers
slept under the window transoms, on
one of which he was suited. The lady
was a little dubious, but the gentleman
showed her a bit of white cloth pro
hich he said was a pillow
cane, and that settled it Clerk and
Register terribly embarra? e»l, but bus
ily at work. Then the Register timid
ly asked if the party had called on the
editors. They had not, but would be
happy to if they had time. This led'
to conversation, and the discovery of
a new town in Sully county, in ILi-Tti,
called Dentonvillc, and a formidable
candidat) for the county seat in 1K84.
The latlies then told of their farming
the past summer. One had raised
the Sioux
ial staff of the late Clifton Sun, and I Onida well.
if said staff or some portion thereof, 'at^e8 "ien the visitors

—One week from next Monday
Judge Kdgerton will oj»en the Fail
Term of Court, at Pierre, for the
Hughes county sub-division of the
Second Judicial District. Judge Kd
gerton is the father of our efficient
Clerk of Court for Sully county.
—RolnTt J. and Wm. M. Courtney

four miles southwest of Clifton, Wed
nesday, and expected to leave for
their home at Green Springs, Ohio,
the next day, and will teach school
this winter. Of course they subscrib
ed for this paper. They will return
in the spring.
—We had heard it reported that C.
J. Haines, late of tho Pierre Daily Sig
nal, was, alone, to manage and control
the Carson Herald, and felt like con
gratulating our neighlors, for from per
sonal acquaintance and business rela
tions we have found him to )e a gen
tleman. But, alas! the hist issue of
the Herald liears too numerously the
slimy "ear marks" of C. C. Frost, the
champiou liar of the north-west and
impecunious fraud and adventurer.
'Plius far it is evident that Mr. Haines
is only the monied man of the enter
prise, but if he wants it to succeed in
Sully county it will lie necessary to put
a different party than the red-headed,
scurrilous defamator of some of its
best citizens at the helm of the Herald.
—Two weeks from next Tuesday,
Nov. 6, 1883, is the time appointed for
holding the election to approve or dis
approve of the Constitution for Dakota,
drafted by the late Sioux Falls Con
vention, and our people like to know
what is going to be done alout it.
Thus far no provisions have been made
for holding any election in this part of
the Commonwealth. It must le that
somelMxly is authorize}! to make stlch
provision, and it is certaiuly time
it was lieing made. It is a
matter of too much interest to
let go by default We ladieve the
document to be voted upon a very able
and satisfactory one, in the main, ami
have no doubt but what our people will
heartily endorse it at the polls if given
an opportunity, which it seems they
certainly must, but it is high time the
voting precincts were located and due
notice given, for the time has been
ample to m*k$ ftuub jweparation.
