FROM MITCHELL, SO. DAK.

Samuel Parker Writes of a Surprise On Mason Kenton. Mitchell, S. I)., Jan. 22. F. E. Babcock —We have had a fine winter here, as nice as any one could ask for, good roads all the time, but it was 28 degrees below' zero one day hepe. There was a big surprise on Mason Kenton to-day. He was 50 years old Jan. 22. Mason went to Sam Parker’s in the morning to make a little visit with Fritz Zard, and the two talked with him and kept him till all the brothers and Mike Nagel and neighbors gathered in, and when he went home the house was filled. Mason did not feel like he was 50 years old, nor did he act like it. There were about forty-five there and they all chipped in and got him a writing desk, and If any one wants a letter now Just write to Mason and I will guarantee they will get an answer. ,
