Phinney left with his car load of goods for Harrison, Sioux coun ty, this state Saturday. We are sorry to lose so good a physician and neighbor as the Dr. was. We wish him success In his new field of labor. Tamora Reg Uter. We are in receipt of a letter inform ing us that the Simler farm just south of town has been purchased by a man by the name of McMillan, residing in Omaha. He expects to occupy the place next year and it is said that others from there come here to secure homes. There is room for many in Sioux county and all will be welcome. Of the three men who arrived on the excusion train from Iowa last week, William Sherrill had some business Which called him home and he left Sat urday evening stating that he would be gin to get ready to come here as soon as he got home as he had seen enough to satisfy him that he could do better here than he can where he now lives. The other two started for home Tuesday ev ening, but before they left they each initiated contest proceedings on a fine quarter section a few miles southeast of town. Tbey expect to move here some time between now and spring. They say that there are many in that part of the country who are renting land and who want to get out and got land of their own and it is quite likely that a number of their neighbors and friends Will come out on the excursions yet this fall to spy out the land. Those who own no land are getting very tired of paying high cash rent and then getting poor crops. There seems to be something wrong between this place and the F. E. & M. V. road. Some time -ago information was was received from the secretary of the tots board of agriculture that the road had gone back on ths fair matter. It was taken up with the railroad officials and carried as far as the general manag er but no transportation could be ob tained over the road for the committee who would bare ojiarge of the exhibit. The transportation was obtained over ths B. eV iL although that company bas but a few miles of road in Sioux county and doss not corns to this place at all. Such a state of affairs is not the thing to .. . hart existing between the people 'and H railroad. The work of. advertising ths country and securing new settlers and new enterprises is of interest to both and sons way should be devised so that the effort will be united. With the peo ple pulling on way and the company another the development of the county fttU t greatly retarded. 140 V The Exhibit for the State Fair. On last Tuesday the products col lected to make up the exhibit from 8ioux county at the state fair were brought in as called for by the commit tee. The collection was the best that has ever been sent from here and with proper arrangement a good premium should be won by it. The committee to award the premiums offered by the county society for the best collections consisted of J. IL Bar tell, E. E. Smiley, Henry Lindeman, David Bartlett and J. M. Smiley, and the following awards were made: For best and largest collection of grain and 'vegetables, 1st premium Leo De Bock; 2d, Eli Smith; 3d, M. J. Weber. For best and largest collection of na tive grasses: 1st premium Eli Smith; 2d, J. H. Bartell, 8d, M. J. Weber, It is out of the question1 Sit us to'gi've a detailed account of all that was there and by whom contributed, but it would have been a good thing if all the people in the county could have been here to see for themselves. An idea seems to prevail in localities where the crops are poor that the same is true of the whole county and smoe seem to dislike to hear of those who have been more fortunate than themselves. None who took the trouble to see what was brought in on Tuesday will think that crops were a failure in Sioux county this year. The exhibit will be in charge of Eli Smith, M. J. Weber, Leo DeBock and Louis Ruffing, the latter having taken the place of John Meindart who was tak en sick and could not go. To those men and others a great deal of credit is due for the fine collection of products which comprises the exhibit. Many people have expressed their intention to take an active part in the work who have not done so in the past. . There will be thousands of people at the state fair to see what is to be had in the western counties and who want to secure homes and stop paying rent and there is no reason why the exhibit from Sioux coun ty should not be the means of securing many new settlers for this part of the state. A great deal more could have been had to use in the work if a little more time had been had but there is no need to be ashamed of what has been accomplished in the short time since it was determined to make an exhibit. It is hoped that the officers of the ag ricultural society will see to it that a meeting is held and the work for next year commenced this fall. It is out of the question to get the. very best results with only a few weeks in which to do the work. Take the whole year. If the farmers know that an exhibit is to be made next year they can easily prepare something for it. , -Remember that The Journal office is headquarters for job printing. The W. C. T.
