between showers.

The junior editor of The Leader
wanted to know where ttie Wolf Pit
settlement was. Well, sir, Jim, it is
in the northeast corner of the colony
domains some six or seven miles from
the city of Fitzgerald and three miles
from Crisp and Fitzgerald Landing—
the best part of the colony. Come out
and see.
There has been quite a sensation in
our neighborhood the last few days
over some meat that was stolen from
Mr. David Troup, some four miles
soutli of this place. On last Monday
morning Mr. Troup found that some¬
body bad dug under the back end of
his smoke house and taken between
350 and 400 pounds of meat there¬
from, and on looking around found
tracks of some four different persons
in the soft ground and “Iso the tracks
of a buggy and oxcart which is sup¬
posed tiiat the meat was hauled away
in and as the rair jon Sunday night
had made the ground foft the vehicle
tracbs was easily followed ior some
distance. Mr. Troup and others com¬
menced to search the country over on
Monday and kept it np until they
made some discoveries as to the part¬
ies who took the meat and on
Wednesday evening had them ar¬
rested and takeii before the justice of
the peace for trial. Thursday the
parties arrested were found guilty,
(but the whereabouts of the meat is
still a mystery.) They were assessed
a fine and ordered to leave the country.
Preacher Brown, wife and daughter
and Oliver Caswell, all colored, were
the parties arrested.
Will Come Back Again.
Editor Fitzgerald Liadkh.
Sirs —I have changed my postoffice
address from Sioux Falls to Montrose.
Please send paper to Montrose, 8. D.
To-day is the first fine day I have seen
since I left Fitzgerald, January 15. I
am happy to hear that everything is
progressing, and hope to be back again

Tours respectfully,
W. G. Wardwell.

A New Indnstty..
Mr. Sidney Lascelles has success¬
fully completed arrangements for con¬
ducting a merchandise brokerage
business on a scale which places him
in a position to supply the needs of our
merchants at lower prices than they
iiave heretofore been able to purchase
their goods. He has been appointed
broker and agent for some of the
largest manufacturers and shippers in
the country. In a few days he will
open an additional office in the Fitz¬
gerald block adjoining his present
quarters, in which he will carry a full
line of samples and receive daily quo¬
tations from all points, and issue a
price list every morning, which will
he distributed to every dealer in the
city. The new office will practically
be the “Merchant’s Exchange of Fitz¬
gerald,” will be open from 8 a. m. un¬
til 5 p. m., and give all dealers an op¬
portunity of seeing beforehand what
they are purchasing.
Her Courage Severely Tried.
Mrs. Samuel Stamn, of Logauton,
Fa., bore her thirty-four years of suf¬
fering with coinage and fortitude.
Her trouble was rheumatism in the
knee. In consequense, her limb had
become so stiff that she could hardly
walk. Mr. Stamn is a well-to-do mer¬
chant, and had spared no pains or ex¬
pense to relieve her, but with little suc¬
cess, until one night when it grew so
painful that she could hardly endure it;
lie persuaded her to try Chamberlain’s
Fain Balm; ihe effect was magical.
The first application relieved the
pain, and its continued use lias remov¬
ed all stiffness and given her the free
use of her limb once more. For sale

It is surprising what a “wee bit of

They are so small tiiat the most

so effective that the most eases of
constipation, headache and torpid
liver yield to them. That is why De¬
Witt’s Little Early Risers are known
as the famous little pills.

Many cases of -Grippe” have lately
been cured by One Minute Cough
Cure. Tliis preparation seems es-
pecially adapted to the cure of this
disease. It acts quickly thus prevent¬
ing serious complications and bad
effects in which this disease often
leaves the patient.
