Kimball lies near the center of Brule County in Southern Dakota amid rich farming and stock country. The town’s claim to prominence is supported by the magnificent crops of recent years and the evident fertility of the region.
A long digest of Dakota items covers judges relocating to Huron, bank news from Eastman and Nance, new post offices, harvest sales, a band tournament at Watertown, drownings and murders, a coal vein near Yankton, church stone layings, and county politics. Reports include rail, weather, and legal notices, with local incidents from Aberdeen to Yankton and bills on franchise and suffrage in Britain.
Located on the Main Line of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul Railroad, 48 miles west of Mitchell and 22 miles east of Chamberlain, the town lists a fine public school, churches, a first class post office, two banks, five good hotels, a large grain elevator, material for another, lumber yards, stocks, blacksmith shops, livery stables, and stores serving all trades. The article notes strong investment inducements to attract residents and new enterprise.
The Brule County Agricultural Fair Grounds adjoins the townsite and is praised as one of the Territory’s best fair grounds with a good half mile track.
The proprietor outlines three adjoining additions with continuation of streets and alleys, including macre lots to fit all buyers. Main Street blocks remain for business use with strong inducements. Dakota climate is mild, rainfall ample, water pure, and social advantages touted as making the county favorable for emigrants. For details, call or address.
