The crop proposition in Holt county
—or perhaps more properly the north
half of the county—is unmistakably
the best evep. Harvesting has pro
gressed far enough to leave no doubt
as to the small grain yield. Many
farmers report better than twenty
bushels of wheat to the acre and oats
forty and fifty bushels. Corn, the
best of it, is two weeks behind, but
with most favorable weather condi
tions is humping right along. Holt
county has the rare geographical
combination that a crop will be pro
duced be the season wet or dry. The
Elkhorn river forms a dividing line
between highlands and lowlands, and
which ever turn the season takes one
half of the county will produce a full
crop.
A medical authority takes this
scientific view of a laugh: “It is good
to laugh. There is probably not the
remotes corner or little inlet of the
minute blood vessels of the body that
does not feel some wavelet from the
great convulsion produced by hearty
laughter shaking the central man.
The blood moves rapidly—probably its
chemical, electric or vital condition is
distinctly modified, it conveys a differ
ent impression to all the organs of the
body as it visits them on the peculiar
mystic journey when the man is
laughing from what it does at other
times. The time may come when
physicians will prescribe to a torpid
patient so many peals of laughter to
be undergone at such and such a
time.” Pitied be the person who can
not laugh. If you have never done it,
indulge a big laugh today and see how
good it is.
At the home of the bride in this
city the ceremony took place which
united Mr. Charles George and Miss
Anna Davidson in the bonds of holy
wedlock. Promptly at 9 a. m. this
morning, the friends having gathered
at the home, in respond to the
peals of the organ which sounded
fourth thewedding march thebride;and
groom took their place in front of the
large window in the east room where
the beautiful ceremony of the Metho
dist church was pronounced by Rev.
Amos Fetzer of the local church.
The bride is well and fvorably known
to the entire commuuity, she being a
member of M. E. church as well as
several of the societies of the town.
The groom, who is a resident of Mitch
ell, S. D., formerly resident in O’Neill
where about seventeen years ago
he worked in The Frontier ollice. He,
with a brother-in-law, is now in the
printing business in Mitchell. The
couple took the morning Northwestern
train for Sioux City, where they will
spend a few days, after which they
will be at home to all who may call in
Mitchell, S. D.
Indications point a little to horse
thief opperations around over the
county. Con Keys of this city last a
line gray mare along about .1 uly 5 and
has heard nothing of her. Others
have been heard of who have lost
horses. If the business keeps up it
may be necessary to adopt the early
day methods in dealing with this
class.
As a suggestion to the real estate
men and others to be benelitted there
by what’s the matter with getting up
an exhibit for the state fair? One
half the enterprise now that was in
evidence during the years of drought
and withered vegetation would do
great things for the community. Let
us have a revival of the old-time
enterprise.
It was announced last week that
the packing house strike was oil. So
it was for a short time, but is now
worse than ever. Not only are the
butchers all out but a general sympa
thetic strike has been declared which
affects all departments of the packing
houses. The striking coming as it
does just at the beginning of the
cattle shipping season, it hits western
stock men about as hard as any
others.
The official call is out for the annual
gathering of the populist clans in this
city on August 6th. The call calls for
a convention of 116 delegates and says
the business of the convention will be
to nominate candidates for the follow
ing offices: County attorney and two
representatives for the Fiftieth dis
trict. Delegates will also be selected
for the state, congressional and sena
torial conventions, and the county
committee reorganized.
A great crowd of people came in
from the rural realms Friday last to
attend the Gollmar show, which put
on two exhibitions and a street parade
that day. They put up a tirst-class
show, by far the best ever along this
way, clean and respectable. The
menagerie had many interesting feat
ures; the circus performers were all
experts, some marvelous feats being
performed. Gollmar Bros, have made
for themselves a good reputation
here and the town will be glad to
have them come back any time.
On Wednesday last at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. M. Lyons occurred the
marriage of Miss Lulu Earel of Emmet
to Mr. Claude Niconlin of Algona,
Iowa, Rev. T. W. Bowen of the Pres
byterian church of this city officiat
ing. The wedding was a quiet, private
affair. The couple departed the fol
lowing day for Algona, where the
groom has, The Frontier is informed,
been engaged in the hardware busi
ness for some years. The bride is one
of Ilolt county’s fairest daughters and
has many friends here who extend
congratulations and best wishes.
The proposition to hold a street fair
and carnival seems to have fallen
through, the reason assigned by some
who had contributed liberally and
spent much time to raise the
necessary funds being an effort on the
part of certain high officials et al to
turn the town open in a style that
brought a reign of terror at Bonesteel
the past few weeks. The chairman of
the committee that had been boost
ing along the proposition for a legiti
mate carnival has pulled out and re
fuses to have anything to do with the
designs which he considers an endeav
or to turn the town over to gamblers
and grafters. The money for the fair
was raised in a short time but the
eruption came when the “citizens’*
column was stuffed and it was voted
to grant the street franchises.
