A collage of local items from Kimball and Plankinton Dakota includes political jests, school counts, fair updates, bank moves, and store chatter. Mentions Mitchell and Brule counties, waterworks plans, a tournament trip by Hose Company No. 1, and village life snippets with sparse names and events.
Mitchell reports a legislative ticket: Ward of Brule for Representative, Parshall of Hanson, Clark of Aurora, Huston of Douglas for the House. Bowdle, Waggoner named for council seats. W. C. T. U. meeting at Kimball draws strong attendance with an $8.43 collection.
The Brule County election to relocate the county seat at Kimball is announced with nominees. I A Weeks of Kimball is urged for Recorder and Major J E Jenkins for Treasurer as strong Democratic picks. A meeting on a grist mill and two wells in Kimball stimulates civic action, with debates on funding and water supply. Local speeches end with admonitions on gossip and household management and notices from readers about candidates and a school guard recommendation.
Gala procession over two miles formed at the courthouse as the Oriental Order of Humility laid the corner stone of Mitchell’s new round house under railroad officials. Sealed box copies of local papers and a $850,000 check from First National Bank of Mitchell were placed beneath the stone for an orphan fund.
