Cyrus A. Ball Writes From Mitehell, South Dakota.

The following letter was received from Cyrus A. Ball, under date of June 24, from Mitchell, S. Dak.: Editor Republican: 1 left Chicago on the evening of the 21st and arrived here at 9 p. m. the 22nd, all O. K. I find it to be a fine country, and crops look good. Corn is a little late but generally clean and is from three inches to knee high. It is dry now and a good rain would be appreciated. Business in Mitchell is full of life and wages run from $2 to $7 per day. I find that prices range high, the cheapest house rent being $lO per month and everything else in proportion.! think a man with a little nerve can do well out here, either on a farm or as a mechanic. There is sbrely a great layout here. I will remain here indefinitely with my son, Jesse, and then will visit Noble at Red Cloud, Neb. Very truly, CYRUS A.\ BALL.
