South Dakotaians Visiting With Old Friends Here.

Michael Nagle, Elmer Kenton, Samuel Parker and William Moore, former residents, came through to Chicago with loads of stock the first of the week and took advantage ot their nearness to Rensselaer, to run down here and visit relatives and old friends. All now reside near Mitchell, S. D-, and are cjuite well pleased with their new home. Crops were not extra good there last year, especially wheat, which was badly injured by rust. They have had lots of snow there the .past winter, which assures plenty of moisture for a good crop this year. Mr. Nagle is farming two sections of land and doing well. He has increased considerably in avoidupois since leaving Jasper county some five years ago and now tips the beam at about 260 pounds, instead bf his former 200 pounds.
