Visiting Here From South Dakota.

Mrs. Sherman Lewis and Miss Jennie Parker, daughter of Samuel Parker, both of near Mitchell, So. Dak., came Saturday for a visit with relatives (and old friends. Mrs. Lewis expects to remain about three weeks and Miss Parker about six weeks. Crops in their vicinity are fine this year. Threshing is nearly all done there. Mr. Parker had some wheat that yielded 33 bushels per acre, and the average of his crop was a little better than 24 bushels Mr. Lewis’ wheat was good, but not quite up to Mr. Parker’s. He also has 200 acres of fine corn.
