The best located
town in Southern
Dakota, being situ
ated near the cen
ter of Brule County,
in the midst of the
best farming and
stock country in
the world. The
proof of which has
been fully demon
strated in the maa
niticent crops of the
past few years,
KIMBALL
Is located on (lie Main Line
of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railroad. 1-ij miles west oi
Mitchell and 22 miles east oi
Chamberlain. It has a iine pub
lie school buildiuir. good church
es, a first-class postoftice, two
banks, two s-ood hotels, one
large grain elevator and mate
rial on the ground for another,
three lumber yards, all tarrying
immense stocks several black
smith shops, good livery stables,
and stores representing all
branches of trade. Still the
country demands more and to
ive men great inducements are
offered to invest in this
Beautiful Town
The Brule County Agricul
tural Fair Grounds adjoin the
townsite and is one of the best
fair grounds in the Tcmtorj'.
with a good half-mile track.
THE TOWN IS BOOMING
And now is the time to invest.
D. WARNER,
Proprietor of the original town
site, lias platted and laid out
three additions, all adjoining,
with a continuation of streets
and alleys. Part ot which are
in acre lots, so as to enable all
classes to be suited in procuring
a residence lot. The most de
sirable blocks on Main Street
are still for sale to those who
desire to engage in business, and
great inducements are offered
to that class of men.
The climate in this part of
Dakota is everything to be
desired and is fully as mild
as that of Ohio, Indiana and Il
linois, with, perhaps, a less num
ber of cloudy days. The rain
fall is abundant and always
comes when most needed. The
water is free from any alkali
tiiste and as pure as any found
in any of the Eastern States. In
short, the country, climate and,
social advantages make this one
of the best, it not the very best,
county in Dakota for the emi
grant'

The Missouri river is now -swelling
from the meltiugsjitrn-.qf the mountains,
and from this date until late in the fall
there will be a high stage of water.
W. T. McKay, one of the pioneers of
Bismarck aud at one time a representa

legislature, recently died in Dead wood.
Robbie, fourteen-year-old son of John
Jones of Sioux Falls, was killed by
being run over by a train he was at
tempting to board while iu motion.

the largest religious gathering eyei
held iu the territory.
While two men named Anderson and

the bank caved in, killing Anderson aud
severely injuring Hardy.
James Bannan, station agent at Port

He waived examination, and was bound

court in the sum of $2,000.
The snit at Kimball against L. A.
Foote, formerly cashier of the bank of

bezzled $172 of a depositor's money, re
sulted in his prompt acquittal.
The citizens of Chamberlain have
held a secret meeting to organize an

Tin has been found in immense quan

papers of the Blaclc Hills say on his an

Times.
Plantation negroes are, to those who
see them for the first time, most miser
able specimens of "men and brothers,"
if they are to be judged by their extei
nal appearance. They are usually very
black in color, with pronounced negro
features, and ignorant. In some cases
they are but a few degrees above the ani
mals. They live only in the present,
.know nor care nothing for the future,
and seem to regard freedom as only tho
means of deciding for them whether
th^, will work or remain idle, and as
may be supposed, if bacon and corn
bread could be obtained without the la
bor, it is safe to say they would remain
idle. I was told, however,despite their
dejected, work-a-day look, they are a
very happy and contented people, and
they are treated with much considera
tion and kindness on two plantations I
visited, being allowed to build
huts and out all their firewood
on the lands, and in illness are cared
for either by the overseer or owner,
who employes a physician in urgent
cases. These plantations have also
stores upon the grounds wherein the
hands can buy at market rates all the
necessaries of their lives, food,-clothing
and shoes—in fact, anything that can
be had at the usual or "general country
store." Aud this has been done in
order to keep the "plantation hands" at
home, for if during the plantation sea
son the hands can get off to town after
a pay day, there is no chance of their
return until all their money is spent
and either work or starvation stares
them in the face. And, as most plan
tation hands are born and raised in the
work, they know no other. Occasionally
a more ambitious or intelligent one will
aspire to "learn to be a barber," and
leave his "native heath," but it is said
that they do uot as a rule take to edu
cation and prefer to remain ignorant
and work by day, and if they can dance
and frolic by night they are content
though the law compels marriage. It
is often honored in the breach only,
but they have the enthusiastic religious
"revivals" and their colored preachers
are ever on tho plantations and hold
sei-vicps in their church at "Orton" for
the religiously inclined. Some of the
women seem disposed to think that the
lives of "house servants" aro more envi
able than their own, working as they do
in the hot fields, but it is not an ener
getio longing and involves too much
thought to be put into active execution.
Ono rather bright-looking young wom
an. to. whom I spoke, asked me if
I
thoughrresiild get her a "place" as cook
at the north. I asked her what wages
she earned as field hand, and she said:
Mostly $3 per week but they say I could
get $12 for a month as a cook!" Her
mental arithmetic was a little off, but she
was in earnest. I told her I dil not
think she would like the Northern
States, it was so much cold«, and she
laughed and said: "That's 4pit they all
say, miss mebbe I would not." Free
dom means to this class of people only
the ability to earn money and provide
for themselves, instead of having every
thing provided for them, and it will be
be a long, long time before th6y,
are elevated or educated sufficiently
to understand how much has been done
for them.

There has been' set out in the Boston
public garden this spsing 50,000 pansies,
15,000 daisies, 500 forget-me-nots, and
1,500 Canterbury bells. These, with
4,000 tulips planted last fall, make a
most brilliant show.

How did I like the country and the
people? Just listen to the rccital of
the facts attending my brief stay, and
then draw your own conclusions. Five
or six years ago I was agent for the cele
brated Blank beer, and once while eu
route to Texas via the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas, stopped over at MuBcogee
and took the stage to Fort Smith, to
meet a carload of kegs just shipjied to
that place. Having made arrangements
with Y. & Z., to bundle the lot, Ire
quested them to tap a keg and to hold
themselves in readiness to do a big biz
on my early return from a stroll in quest
of topers. Going to the post office,
about two huudred yards distant, I
.found nineteen native Arkansans strung
out in single file. Removing my hat
and faciug the crowd, I said:
"Gentlemen, I am the general agent
of the famous Blank beer—a beverage
guaranteed to cheer and to inbriate—
and having just introduced it this
section and being most anxious to make
its superior merits known, 1 extend to
each and all of you a cordial invitation
to accompany me to Y. & Z's there to
drink to our mutual and better acquaint
ance."
Then Babel broke out, and among the
loudest of the unanimously favorable
replies to my timely invitation, I dis
tinctly heard,'-Withpleasnre, Colonel."
"Thank ye, Jedge, ltindl—"
"Drink seldom, but under the cir
cumstanaes—"
"Have a chaw, boss? It's-—"
"Fine country, this milil climate, fer
tile lauds—"
"Want a pardner?" iSi-'-J
"Hope youH lochte."
Including myself, there are just
twenty of us.
"Y." I said, "give me a peer. Gen
tlemera, what will you take?"
"Whiskey straight!" shouted the
nineteen native Arkansans, and, by
Gambrinus! take it they ^lid. Arkan

A duel occurred at, Morgantown, N. C., in tbe
mouth of a mica mine, in which CoL Nellia
Borden, formerly ot Louisville, Ky., and a Mr.
