David Ticknor is crccting a dwelling house on Capital Hill, just north of Dr. O'Neil's new residence. May 1st has been designated as Arbor Day in Dakota. Let evory farmer in Lin- coln county devote the day to treo plant- ing. County Treasurer Iluetson is now ena- bled to give a warranty deed on all lands sold by the county, the title to the eavne having beon confirmed at the recent term of court in Turner county. Chas. E. Goetz was clected president of the council by the new board this week, which in connection with the vote receiv- ed, the largest for aldermen, shows how Canton Deople appreciate his services. Johnny Elder is the champion bicycle rider of Canton, although others arc not far behind. We understand a bicycle club will be formed here this season. Eastern civilization is slowly creeping upon us. We have received a sample of home- made maple sugar which was successfully manufactured by Maud E. York, a young miss living with her parents a few miles north of town. The trees were planted by Miss Maud a few years ago. Horace J. McDonald, an experienced eye and ear surgeon of La Ciosse, Wis., will be here about th« 20th of May and will remain several days, where all afflict- ed with eyo and ear infirmities can oonsult him. The new council have selected as city attorney for the coming year Mr. M. E. Rudolph, who has heretofore filled all po- sitions intrusted to him satisfactorily and efficiently, and will no doubt execute the functions of his new position with the same grace. The ADVOCATE would like to have ev- ery farmer in Lincoln county send in an account of the number of acres they intend seeding this season, and the number of acres of each kind planted; also the number of acres of breaking they intend to do this season. p||g| A slight mistake occurred in our table of the vote cast at the city election last week, James Lewis receiving 213 votes for alderman instead of 113- The name of Nathan Noble should also appear for one of the aldermen in place ot G. W. Harlan. Mrs. Russell, a lady esteemed by all who know her, will commence Jthe duties of teacher in the intermediate department of our public schools next week. The patrons consider themselves fortunate in securing the services of so estimable a la- dy. Mr. E. Smith, the proprietor of the brick yard below Beloit, has returned from Sioux City and has commenced the man- ufacture of his celebrated brick. Mr. Smith is a reliable and experienced brick- maker and will no doubt make a complete success of all kilns burned the coming summer. "D. B. N.," who reported the doings of the Congregationalisms at this city last week for the Yankton Press, says: Our Canton friends spared no pains in making their guests feel at home. Your corres- pondent is a guest of one of Canton's en- terprising merchants, S. C. Madole, who entertained us in princely style. Dakota Outlook: Over two thousand miles of railroad have been built in Da- kota since 1879, and this is a remarkable showing for an unsettled country. From present indications the next five years will reveal a still larger increase. The companies have projected lines in every direction, and as soon as the season has sufficiently advanced to show that we are to have our usual good crops, active work will begin and many miles of track will be laid this year. Centerville Chronicle, 10: One of Beresfords best stock dealers bought of a fanner $000 worth of cattle within a radius of a thousand miles and paid a forfeit of $10 on Friday last, and after the farmer had kept them till Monday, came back to get the forfeit money already paid on the cattle, telling the man that he did not want them. Is that the way to conduct an honorable straight forward business? We the farmers of this neighborhood do not approvo of this way of doing business. The Canton school board are now nego- tiating with eastern parties whereby they expect to close a contraet for the construc- tion of the new school building uoder the same plans as at first decided upon. It was feared for a time that tho appropria- tion was not sufficient to cover the expense of a building of suoh magnitude and beauty, put the prospects are now favora- ble for the immediate commencement of work on the structure which will give Can- ton the educational facilities the develop- ment of the city and country warrants. It is related of Judge Cornelius S. Palmer, of this judicial district, that at the time of the rebellion, being then quite young, ho was anxious to join tho Union army. His parents were, however, op- posed to his doing so, At the same time his brother, Sitnon M. Palmer, had enlist- ed, and was prepairing to leave home. When the day arrivod for Simon's depart- ure he set off in a wagon to go to the rendezvous, with Cornelius as driver. Si- mon's heart was touched with regret at the sorrow of his parents, in parting with him, and the future judge noticing this said to his brother: "Simon, if you'll ex- change clothes with me I'll go to the army for you, fill your place, answer to your name and fill your term." A quick ex- change of clothes was made; Cornelius served Simon's year and answered to his name.So Judge Palmer serve as a private soldier in the army, but his own name is not on the records.

County Convention For Selecting Del- egates to tlie Territorial Convention to be H«M SText Saturday. Saturday occurs the eounty convention of Lincoln county republicans to elect five delegates to attend the t*rritorial conven- tion at Huron on Wednesday of next week. These five gentlemen will assist in chosing two delegates to the na- tional convention to be held ir« Chicago June 3, for placing in nomination candi- dates for president and vice:prcsident of the United States. Township caucuses throughout Lincoln county have been held, aud the attend- ance next Saturday will doubtless be largo. Canton city has the largest representation, castinc 162 votes for the republican dele- gate in congress two years ago, and Eden follows with 117, entitling her to seven delegates in the county convention. Who the territorial convention will se- lect to represent Dakota in the national convention is beyond conjecture, but the assembly will be a harmonious one and will doubtless chose men who can ably wear the honors imposed upon them by the fifty thousand republican boomers of Dakota. Money to loan on farms or city proper- ty in small sums, one hundred dollars and upward for one or two years. A. G. STEIN EU. Married.

A True Bill I'ound by tlie Mluuclinfan Oraild Jurjr Lnnt Week. A T11UE BII.L. This indictment charges the Hon. J. W. Carter, district attorney, with being a courteous gentleman and an able attor- ney, and alleges that he did during the past two weeks aid and abet, ana did knowingly and wrongfully with patient forbearance and legal ability, assist the grand jury in their work; that but for his unceasing diligence and able counsel we would not at so early a day have brought our labors to a close. This indictment is signed not only by A. Gale, foreman, but by every member of thogrand jury, there- fore without giving him a chance to plead guilty or not guilty, it is the sentence of this jury that Judge Carter accept the hearty thanks and good wishes of this body, and that he be sentenced to reside in the territory for the balance of his nat- ural existence.

FRAME—In Norway towuihip, Llnooln county, on Tueadty, April 1, 1884, inf&ut chi!4 of Mr. and Mra. Frame. The funeral services were on the 3rd inst., at the house on the Sundy farm where Mr. Frame and family are tempo- rarily stopping with other friends, owning land near by and intending to settle on the same soon. The deceased, with other children were exposed and taken ill en route for this place, and one, a little girl about three years old, is still dangerously ill. These strangers are entitled to and receive the warm sympathy of their neigh- bors in this sad affliction accompanying their advent to their Dakota home. V. B. C. Millinery. Being desirous of closing out my stock of millinery I have decided to sell the same regardless ot first cost. A splendid assortment is given to select from, and figures are astonishingly low. Remember this is positively no humbug, but goods will be sold below cost. Residence west of public school house. MRS. P. M. LUND. OUR CITY SCHOOLS. Letter From Professor C. B. Inlinm In Regard to the Coming Term. EDITOR ADVOCATE:—Our city schools open on Monday next for a term of two months, forty days exactly, during the most pleasant season of the year. Let us see how many pupils can stand "Perfect in attendance and deportment; good in scholarship." This is a proper time for beginners to enter the primary department; also to straighten up the work in the various de- partments and prepare for a more thor- ough and perfect system of graduation which must necessarily take place when the schools shall be brought together un- der one roof. All will desire as high posi- tion as possible at that time, and this fact should occupy the thought of both pupils and parents now. The A class, grammar department, will strive to finish arithme- tic, grammar and United States Historr, and we earnestly desire that each member shall continue his work faithfully during this short term. Yours Respectfully, ^ G. B. ISHAM, Principal. Nursery Stock. Extra choice, iron-«lad_ varieties, all tested and acclimated. Priees very low. Everything in fine condition. Catalogue free. E. DEBELL, Sioux Falls. Seven pounds toasted coffee $1.00, at W. H. MILLIE'S. The Coming- ot Entler and the Close of the Lenten Season— A Kather Lively Week. It was not to be expected that Holy Week would be strikingly attractive to so- ciety devotees, the period between Palm Sunday and Eastei Sunday usually being the most quiet of the year in a social way, but Canton circles have paid but lit- tle attention to the usual Lenten abstain- anccs, and one continued round of enter- tainments were the order. Easter Sunday was generally recognized, aud appropriate exercises were had a' the several churches, tin Scandinavian denom- inations being particularly demonstrative. Year by year Easter observance has be- come more generally elaborate, until now it is recognized as the great festal day of the church. Elegant and costly Easter cards arc becoming very fashionable in the east, although this feature has not yet reached the western cities. The festival season has arrived, likewise spring and the spring bonnet, and the prospects are good for the usual afternoon receptions and eve- ning dress display parties. BAND CALICO ILALL. The regular monthly benefit of the Gate City Band will occur at Bedford Hall Fri- day evening, April 25, on which occasion the boys have decided to cive a calico ball, to be managed by the wives and sweet- hearts of the different members of the band, a la leap year, cxecpt that the gen- tlemen are expected to ask their partner*. It is to be hoped there will bo a large turn out as the funds will be set aside for the purchase of uniforms for which the boys are negotiating. There will be no objec- tion to parties buying tickets even if they cannot, attend tho party. THE LADIES AKI'AIR. The leap year ball last Friday evening by the ladies of the Soiree Club was one of those enterprising and enjoyable events that does not becomc obliterated from memory in a short time, the occasion "lay- ing over in point of attendance and gener- al satisfaction all previous efforts inaugu- tcd in Canton dancing circles. The large and elegantly dressed party seemed to en- joy themselves to the fullest possible limit, and profuse expressions on the elegant and lavish minor arrangements made for the successful culmination of this, one of Canton's big evening parties, wore offered in excessive prodigiousness. The company assembled wcro treated to a repast on the novel and unique order, a sort of basket pic-nic feature being indulged in, where all were served to the dainties and sweetmeats lavishly displayed and quickly made to disappear. Prof. Allmon's string band from Sioux City were in attendance and gave the best of satisfaction, tho music furnished being of that order appreciable by a large party of fine dancers. The floor managers, Mrs. E. Shufelt, Mrs. O. N. Russell and Miss Nona Miller displayed polished management in keeping in refin- ed order the one hundred aud fifty dancers, and all the ladies deserve credit for the success of the first leap year ball of the season. DILLON. The Walters company appeared at Bed- ford Hall Monday evening of this week in "States Attorney," with the celebrated John Dillon as Pilgrim Bogs. John un- dergoes no material change as his season of life advances, unless it be for the bettor, and on this occasion he rendered his part in the same acceptable and commendable manner characteristic of his general stage demeanour. The balance of the company arc not trained up to that standard that awakens a merited complimentary allusion, although tho support may be said to be fairly passable, but John's inimitable char- acterizations overlap any inferior feature of the doings on the boards, thus cap turing the attention of an audience. Al- together tho theatre-goers were well satis- fied with the Monday evening attraction, and would doubtless have filled the house a second evening had tho company been billed to appear two nights. A BIRTHDAY PARTY. A large number of friehds met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. t>. Morris, one mile south-east of Worthing, on Mon- day of this week, in celebration of the seventeenth birthday of their daughter Nettie. An elegant dinner was served and the participants enjoyed themselves hugely, repairing to their homes not until the shades of night were lowered. Wo are indebted to Mrs. A- J. Wimer for a list of mementoes presented, and also for a generous supply of sample dainties. The following are the presents: Pair vases—Mra E D Lewis. Linen collar—Mr Eddie Morris. Set preserve dishos—Misses Ida and Hattie Wimer. Roll of ribbon—Mr John Loomis. Sild handkerchief—Mrs W Morse, Mrs RS Gage, Mrs R Nelson and Mrs S G Leavitt. Apron and hair net—Mr C D Morris. Handkerchief and ladies hose—Mrs C D Morris. Gold breast pin—Mr* Bushnell, Mrs Sheffer, Miss Annie Wood and Mrs Whit- head. Pair vases—Miss Joe Gerber. Lemons—Miss Sylvia Morris. Easter presents—Miss Kittie Leavitt. 8IFTINGS. The W. C. T. D. will meet at the resi- dence of Mrs. E. J. Dean on Tuesday, April 22, at 2:30 P. M. - Mrs. J. B. Bortrand gives a "kettle- drum' ' at her residence this afternoon, and a number of her friends are enjoying the oocasion. The ladies of the Congregational society will give a Yankee "guessing match" at Nash's Hall on Wednesday evening of next week. Refreshments will be served. IMPORTANT ADDITION. NEW GOODS The New Directors of the First Nation* al Bank of Canton. The stockholders ot the First National Bank of this city met at the banking rooms on Monday of this week, and select- ed C. B. and B. Kennedy to fill the board of directors, an acquisition which will ma- terially strengthen the working of that al- ready strong institution.

The Emperor Louis Napoleon smoked only the finest dg&rs the world could pro­duce. Prof. Hoisford eays the Emperor's cigars wero made specially for him in H*r Tana from leaf tobacco grown in the Golden Belt of North Carolina, this being tho finest leaf grown. Blackwell's Bull Durham HmftHng- Tobacco is made from tho samo leaf used in the Emperor's cigars, is abso­lutely pure and is unquestionably the best tobacco ever offered. *

Thackeray's gifted daughter, Anno, in her sketch of Alfred Tennyeou, in Harper'* Monthly, tells of her visit to tho great poet She found him smoking Btackwell's Bull Durham Tobacco, sent him by Hon. James BusseU Lowell, American Minister to the Court of St James.

In these days of adulteration, it is a com* fort to smokers to hnote that the Bull Dur« y™ brand is absolutely puro, and made from the beet tobacco the world produces.

A slight mistake occurred in our table of the vote cast at the city election last week, James Lewis receiving 213 votes for alderman instead of 113- The name of Nathan Noble should also appear for

one of the aldermen in place ot G. W. Harlan.

Mrs. Russell, a lady esteemed by all who know her, will commence Jthe duties of teacher in the intermediate department of our public schools next week. The patrons consider themselves fortunate in securing the services of so estimable a la­dy.

Mr. E. Smith, the proprietor of the brick yard below Beloit, has returned from Sioux City and has commenced the man­ufacture of his celebrated brick. Mr. Smith is a reliable and experienced brick-maker and will no doubt make a complete success of all kilns burned the coming summer.

"D. B. N.," who reported the doings of the Congregationalisms at this city last week for the Yankton Press, says: Our Canton friends spared no pains in making their guests feel at home. Your corres­pondent is a guest of one of Canton's en­terprising merchants, S. C. Madole, who entertained us in princely style.

Dakota Outlook: Over two thousand miles of railroad have been built in Da­kota since 1879, and this is a remarkable showing for an unsettled country. From present indications the next five years will reveal a still larger increase. The companies have projected lines in every direction, and as soon as the season has sufficiently advanced to show that we are to have our usual good crops, active work will begin and many miles of track will be laid this year.

Centerville Chronicle, 10: One of Beresfords best stock dealers bought of a fanner $000 worth of cattle within a radius of a thousand miles and paid a forfeit of $10 on Friday last, and after the farmer had kept them till Monday, came back to get the forfeit money already paid on the cattle, telling the man that he did not want them. Is that the way to conduct an honorable straight forward business? We the farmers of this neighborhood do not approvo of this way of doing business.

The Canton school board are now nego­tiating with eastern parties whereby they expect to close a contraet for the construc­tion of the new school building uoder the same plans as at first decided upon. It was feared for a time that tho appropria­tion was not sufficient to cover the expense of a building of suoh magnitude and beauty, put the prospects are now favora­ble for the immediate commencement of work on the structure which will give Can­ton the educational facilities the develop­ment of the city and country warrants.

It is related of Judge Cornelius S. Palmer, of this judicial district, that at the time of the rebellion, being then quite young, ho was anxious to join tho Union army. His parents were, however, op­posed to his doing so, At the same time his brother, Sitnon M. Palmer, had enlist­ed, and was prepairing to leave home. When the day arrivod for Simon's depart­ure he set off in a wagon to go to the rendezvous, with Cornelius as driver. Si­mon's heart was touched with regret at the sorrow of his parents, in parting with him, and the future judge noticing this said to his brother: "Simon, if you'll ex­change clothes with me I'll go to the army for you, fill your place, answer to your name and fill your term." A quick ex­change of clothes was made; Cornelius served Simon's year and answered to his name.So Judge Palmer serve as a private soldier in the army, but his own name is not on the records.

POLITICAL.

County Convention For Selecting Del­egates to tlie Territorial Convention to be H«M SText Saturday.

Saturday occurs the eounty convention of Lincoln county republicans to elect five delegates to attend the t*rritorial conven­tion at Huron on Wednesday of next week. These five gentlemen will assist in chosing two delegates to the na­tional convention to be held ir« Chicago June 3, for placing in nomination candi­dates for president and vice:prcsident of the United States.

Township caucuses throughout Lincoln county have been held, aud the attend­ance next Saturday will doubtless be largo. Canton city has the largest representation, castinc 162 votes for the republican dele­gate in congress two years ago, and Eden follows with 117, entitling her to seven delegates in the county convention.

Who the territorial convention will se­lect to represent Dakota in the national convention is beyond conjecture, but the assembly will be a harmonious one and will doubtless chose men who can ably wear the honors imposed upon them by the fifty thousand republican boomers of Dakota.

Money to loan on farms or city proper­ty in small sums, one hundred dollars and upward for one or two years.

A T11UE BII.L.

This indictment charges the Hon. J. W. Carter, district attorney, with being a courteous gentleman and an able attor­ney, and alleges that he did during the past two weeks aid and abet, ana did knowingly and wrongfully with patient forbearance and legal ability, assist the grand jury in their work; that but for his unceasing diligence and able counsel we would not at so early a day have brought our labors to a close. This indictment is signed not only by A. Gale, foreman, but by every member of thogrand jury, there­fore without giving him a chance to plead guilty or not guilty, it is the sentence of this jury that Judge Carter accept the hearty thanks and good wishes of this body, and that he be sentenced to reside in the territory for the balance of his nat­ural existence.

OUR CITY SCHOOLS.

Letter From Professor C. B. Inlinm In Regard to the Coming Term.

EDITOR ADVOCATE:—Our city schools open on Monday next for a term of two months, forty days exactly, during the most pleasant season of the year. Let us see how many pupils can stand "Perfect in attendance and deportment; good in scholarship."

This is a proper time for beginners to enter the primary department; also to straighten up the work in the various de­partments and prepare for a more thor­ough and perfect system of graduation which must necessarily take place when the schools shall be brought together un­der one roof. All will desire as high posi­tion as possible at that time, and this fact should occupy the thought of both pupils and parents now. The A class, grammar department, will strive to finish arithme­tic, grammar and United States Historr, and we earnestly desire that each member shall continue his work faithfully during this short term. Yours Respectfully,

^ G. B. ISHAM, Principal.

Nursery Stock. Extra choice, iron-«lad_ varieties, all

The Coming- ot Entler and the Close of the Lenten Season— A Kather Lively Week.

It was not to be expected that Holy Week would be strikingly attractive to so­ciety devotees, the period between Palm Sunday and Eastei Sunday usually being the most quiet of the year in a social way, but Canton circles have paid but lit­tle attention to the usual Lenten abstain-anccs, and one continued round of enter­tainments were the order.

Easter Sunday was generally recognized, aud appropriate exercises were had a' the several churches, tin Scandinavian denom­inations being particularly demonstrative. Year by year Easter observance has be­come more generally elaborate, until now it is recognized as the great festal day of the church. Elegant and costly Easter cards arc becoming very fashionable in the east, although this feature has not yet reached the western cities. The festival season has arrived, likewise spring and the spring bonnet, and the prospects are good for the usual afternoon receptions and eve­ning dress display parties.

BAND CALICO ILALL.

The regular monthly benefit of the Gate City Band will occur at Bedford Hall Fri­day evening, April 25, on which occasion the boys have decided to cive a calico ball, to be managed by the wives and sweet­hearts of the different members of the band, a la leap year, cxecpt that the gen­tlemen are expected to ask their partner*. It is to be hoped there will bo a large turn out as the funds will be set aside for the purchase of uniforms for which the boys are negotiating. There will be no objec­tion to parties buying tickets even if they cannot, attend tho party.

THE LADIES AKI'AIR.

The leap year ball last Friday evening by the ladies of the Soiree Club was one of those enterprising and enjoyable events that does not becomc obliterated from memory in a short time, the occasion "lay­ing over in point of attendance and gener­al satisfaction all previous efforts inaugu-tcd in Canton dancing circles. The large and elegantly dressed party seemed to en­joy themselves to the fullest possible limit, and profuse expressions on the elegant and lavish minor arrangements made for the successful culmination of this, one of Canton's big evening parties, wore offered in excessive prodigiousness. The company assembled wcro treated to a repast on the novel and unique order, a sort of basket pic-nic feature being indulged in, where all were served to the dainties and sweetmeats lavishly displayed and quickly made to disappear. Prof. Allmon's string band from Sioux City were in attendance and gave the best of satisfaction, tho music furnished being of that order appreciable by a large party of fine dancers. The floor managers, Mrs. E. Shufelt, Mrs. O. N. Russell and Miss Nona Miller displayed polished management in keeping in refin­ed order the one hundred aud fifty dancers, and all the ladies deserve credit for the success of the first leap year ball of the season.

DILLON.

The Walters company appeared at Bed­ford Hall Monday evening of this week in "States Attorney," with the celebrated John Dillon as Pilgrim Bogs. John un­dergoes no material change as his season of life advances, unless it be for the bettor, and on this occasion he rendered his part in the same acceptable and commendable manner characteristic of his general stage demeanour. The balance of the company arc not trained up to that standard that awakens a merited complimentary allusion, although tho support may be said to be fairly passable, but John's inimitable char­acterizations overlap any inferior feature of the doings on the boards, thus cap turing the attention of an audience. Al­together tho theatre-goers were well satis­fied with the Monday evening attraction, and would doubtless have filled the house a second evening had tho company been billed to appear two nights.

A BIRTHDAY PARTY.

A large number of friehds met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. t>. Morris, one mile south-east of Worthing, on Mon­day of this week, in celebration of the seventeenth birthday of their daughter Nettie. An elegant dinner was served and the participants enjoyed themselves hugely, repairing to their homes not until the shades of night were lowered. Wo are indebted to Mrs. A- J. Wimer for a list of mementoes presented, and also for a generous supply of sample dainties. The following are the presents:

Pair vases—Mra E D Lewis. Linen collar—Mr Eddie Morris. Set preserve dishos—Misses Ida and

Hattie Wimer. Roll of ribbon—Mr John Loomis. Sild handkerchief—Mrs W Morse, Mrs
