Elder Halstead Making Trip to South Dakota.

Elder David T. Halstead, who was 87 years of age on May 22nd, is undertaking a rather difficult journey for one of his age and feeble strength, but One that holds out the prospect of a pleasant reunion with an old friend. He left this Tuesday morning for Andover, S. Dak., his nephew, O. C. Halstead, accompanying him as far as Chicago, and another friend accompanying him on the balance of his journey. Elder Halstead spent fifteen years in South Dakota a number of years ago and a wealthy old friend has urged him to come back and pay him a visit and has made the generous offer of bearing all expenses, and Mr. Halstead decided to go. He will be absent for some time and is inclined to believe that the climate there may benefit his health.

Miss Grace Robinson, who has been visiting her mother, Mrs. G. M. Robinson, and other relatives for the past week, went to Indianapolis this morning to visit her sister, Miss lima Robinson. She will return here for a longer visi ; before going tp Chicago to resume her training in the hospital. You will need a good wagon to market your harvest. See Hamilton & Kellner.
