Dr. J. E. 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.

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. ,
