The last of the month shi will come to occupy the new homi recently purchased of Franl Smith.-Chadron Journal. Nearly . ninety teachers hav < registered in the junior normal and more are , coming in every day r The work is progressing splendid II.v under the direction of Prof. Gregory. This institution , main tained by the state , is proving in- valuable to the educational inter- ests of this part of the state , foi it is fitting teachers for the wort before them. It brings some of the principles of higher education to our own doors , within the . reach of all. Emerson Powers , an old resi- dent of this county , committed suicide last Saturday in a hotel at Dead wood , S. D. , by cutting his throat from ear to ear. For sev- eral years , due to financial losses , he had been despondent and brood- ed , over alleged wrongs. His fami ly I . .noticed his condition and en- deavored . in every way to help him - ' to forget ' , but ; as time passed his mind : . seemeB to be growing weak- er. . Some time ago he sent _ his wife and younger children down to Sparks where they vwere to visit witb Telatives. About ten days ago he was here and visited with them for several days , returning to the Hills where he had a good position. The community was startled Saturday on receiving the sad news and his wife and \ her brother , Charles Hudson , immedi ately went up to Deadwood. The body was brought here for burial and interment made in Mt. Hope cemetery on Monday. TIlE DEMO CRAT extends sympathy to the bereaved relatives and fnends. A. Thompson is going to sell out his stock and go out of the ranch business. He has been here on his ranch since the country was new and the neighbors far , apart. At first he had but a homestead or a tree claim but he stayed here and has added a few quarter sec- tions until he now owns a fine ranch op Schlagel creek. But , he ' s growing okl , and with his wife expects to go out to Idaho and retire from business. He says it's not on account of failing health , for he feels as good as he ever did , but he wants to quit and ae's got enough to quit with and live comfortably the remainder of his days and accumulate a little as ; ; he goes from now on without dig ging around in the snow to find a hay stack while the cattle are bel- lowing for' feed , and he's going to quit and turn the ranch over to his son , Robert , whcr will look well to the property and run his own herd upon the range. Mr. Thompson's sale is advertised in this paper and people wanting fine cattle and horses and get them in , good ] condition , acclimated and well bred can make more out of his herd than on a lot of southern cattle four times the number. Go . to his/sale and see for yourself what he has to offer. . You'll get a free lunch at noon ancf something to . eat if you have to stay longer.
