J. Hanawalt at >46,795.12, and the C. W. Metz road, 3 miles, to Levendowski & Kruse, at >IO,BOI. White is becoming known as one of th e best roads counties in this section of the state.

The price paid was >95 per acre. Mr. Porter has gone to Mitchell, So. Dak., in company with C. J. Dean<,. to close up the deal for a farm near there which be was recently looking at. The habit of swearing is not only odious and wicked but also foolish, because it is so generally useless. Swearing never cured a toothache, or cancelled a bad bargain, or prevented a shower from wetting down a hayload. In fact it is of no use whatever except in the newspaper business, where it is of considerable assistance in reading proof and absolutely necessary in getting to press; and it is sometimes found to be of benefit to the editor in looking over the paper after it has been issued. But with these exceptions the practice is utterly needless and inexcusable. PAY HIGHEST POULTRY PRICES. We are now ready to receive your poultry, eggs, hides, junk, for which we will at all times pay the highest price justified by the market.
