Jasper County Fammers Are Big Factor in South Dakota.

Isaac and Samuel Parker, who have been spending a short time here with their brother, George and other relatives and old friends, were in Rensselaer today. Sam went to Mitchell, S. Dak., six years ago, hav ing purchased a farm near that city. He struck it just right and has prospered as have the many other former Jasperites who located in Davison county. . Isaac went later and has been a successful tenant farmer. They both shipped stock and Chicago along with other stock raisers near Mitchell, arriving in Chicago for the Monday market. A 27-car train of stock was largely made up of stock fed by farmers who had gone from this county. Russell Harmon, the Kentons and others had stock in the shipment. The men report that all our former residents, in whose welfare our people hold a kindly interest, are doing exceedingly well in their new home. Sam resubscribed for The Semi Weekly Republican after having been without it for a short time and will hen alter keep track of his old neighbors.
